Risk assessment and mitigation approach for architecture evaluation in component based software development
Maushumi Lahon, Uzzal Sharma · International Conference on Computing for Sustainable Global Development · 2016
Architecture evaluation is one of the early phases of CBSD. Analysis of the activities in this phase can provide valuable insight to the risks associated in CBSD. This paper proposes a risk assessment approach for this phase. The basis of risk identification is on the concept of 4 + 1 architecture view proposed at rational software. For this paper, UML mapping of logical view is considered for identification of activities. The impacts of the failure of the activities are estimated to identify the major concerns in this phase considering the logical view representation only. Finally, risk mitigation measures are proposed in order to prepare the architecture with a lesser probability to fail. The objective of risk assessment is to propose measures to get a better and refined output of any context than it would be without assessment done.
