Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on quality driven approaches which embodies non-functional requirements into software architecture design. The analysis characterizes vocabularies and concepts of the area, with exhibiting a comparison of the two main techniques. In the first technique, architectural tactics are represented and their semantics is clearly defined as a UML-based pattern specification notation called RBML. Given a set of non-functional requirements, architectural tactics are selected and composed into an initial architecture for the application. The second technique designates some attribute primitives which are similar to architectural patterns. It then introduces a method called Attribute Driven Design, to involve attribute primitives for satisfying a set of general scenarios. In this analysis, we intend to give a brief description of the both approaches.
