Encapsulating Quality Attribute Knowledge
Len Bass, James Ivers, Mark Klein, Paulo Merson, Kurt Wallnau · 2006
This paper presents a technique developed at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) for encapsulating quality attribute knowledge for use in the design and validation of software architectures. A reasoning framework, our encapsulation mechanism, can be used by nonexperts to analyze a specific quality (e.g., performance, modifiability, availability) of a system.
