Mappings in software architecture from components to requirements have the potential to reveal valuable information to both architects and stakeholders. This research creates a desktop application to explore the patterns and meanings of these mappings through visualization. Observations from the visualization tool provide a foundation to potentially improve the architecture process. This could enable architects to make better decisions in order to resiliently handle feature enhancements to the architecture, in addition to scalability and maintenance.
