Requirements are very important to model software architecture. Requirements are divided into functional and quality requirements. Functional requirements are pinpointed subsystems and components. Quality requirements affect the structure of architecture. Thus requirements are essential to understand clearly in order to design software architecture. This paper focuses on a quantitative approach to requirements analysis for modeling architectures. In our proposal, functional requirements are quantified through calculating each priority of components. Quality requirements are quantified through calculating the correlation degree between components and quality attributes. The proposed method is implemented by DRAMA (Domain Requirements Analysis for Modeling Architectures), which fully supports our approach and are developed in Java environments. Our proposal is validated to apply some industrial examples.
