Software Architecture Analysis Tool Software Architecture Metrics Collection

The Software Engineering discipline lacks the ability to evaluate software architectures. Here we describe a tool for software architecture analysis that is based on metrics. Metrics can be used to detect possible problems and bottlenecks in software architectures. Even though metrics do not give a complete evaluation of software architectures it is a useful analysis method. The Software Architecture Analysis tool can be applied to XMI output generated by a UML modelling tool. We have done this using Rational Rose.
