The success of a software project is strongly related with architectural design. However, designing the right Software Architecture is a very subjective task and takes a long time, being much influenced by architect’s experience and the quality of requirements engineering. A big problem emerges when the trade-off among quality requirements is not properly solved during requirements engineering. The objective of this paper is to present a trade-off resolution process supported by a tool for helping young requirements engineers and software architects on the hard task of specifying the system requirements, detecting and solving trade-offs among them.
