Towards a methodology driven by relationships of quality attributes for qos-based analysis
Steffen Becker, Jens Happe, Raffaela Mirandola, Catia Trubiani · 2013
Engineering high quality software is a tough task. In order to know whether a certain quality attribute has been achieved or degraded, it has to be quantified by analysis or measured. However, determining what to quantify and how these quantities are related to each other is the difficult part. Early analysis of the quality attributes of a software system on the basis of the system's planned architecture allows informed decisions on design trade-offs. Such decisions can be later validated by measurements on the running system.
