Software architecture is a set of architectural design decisions (ADDs). Due to time constraints, these decisions are not explicitly documented. We present a tool (ADeX) to manage ADDs and support the decision-making process. Using ADeX, one can answer: “What decisions have been made?”, “Which elements and quality attributes are affected by a decision?”, “Who should make a new decision?”, “Which similar decisions have been made?”, and “What alternatives to consider while making a decision?”.
