The Quality Attribute Workshop (QAW) is a facilitated method that engages system stakeholders early in the life cycle to discover the driving quality attributes of a software-intensive system.The QAW was developed to complement the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method SM (ATAM SM ) and provides a way to identify important quality attributes and clarify system requirements before the software architecture has been created.This is the third edition of a technical report describing the QAW.We have narrowed the scope of a QAW to the creation of prioritized and refined scenarios.This report describes the newly revised QAW and describes potential uses of the refined scenarios generated during it.
