The evolution of any software product over its lifetime is unavoidable, caused both by bugs to be fixed and by new requirements appearing in the later stages of the product's...
In this paper, we discuss experiences gained during evaluation of the maintainability of a reference architecture in use at Oc´e, one of the world’s leading copier manufacturer...
Several architecture analysis methods are proposed in the literature for evaluating both the structure and the behavior of architectures. A parallel between humans and software sy...
Software architecture evaluation has been proposed as a means to achieve quality attributes such as maintainability and reliability in a system. The objective of the evaluation is...
