What do we need to measure of an architecture
to decide if the architecture is good or not?
Principle 1: Quality Attributes determine the architecture.
Therefore we need to measure the quality attribute properties of the
architecture.
![Page 10: How to Effectively Evaluate Software Architecture and Identify Risks€¦ · 7 Webinar ATAM principles © 2009 Carnegie Mellon University The principles of successful architecture](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071000/5fbcef202be5a82866610190/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Where do quality attributes come from?
Principle 2: Business Goals determine quality attribute requirements.
Therefore we need to understand the business goals of an
organization and translate them into quality attribute requirements.

How do we get the business goals?
Principle 3: Business Goals represent what is important to the
stakeholder communities.
Therefore we need to let the stakeholders produce the quality
attribute requirements.

The Yardstick
Principle 1: Quality Attributes determine
the architecture.
Principle 2: Business Goals determine
quality attribute requirements.
Principle 3: Business Goals represent
what’s important to its
stakeholder communities.
Principle 4: Quality attributes
requirements need to be
specified with good measures.
Creating the yardstick means:
Eliciting the organizational needs from the stakeholders and
translating them into quality attribute requirements in a precise
and measurable way.

Understanding the Architecture – 1
Remember:
Principle 1: Quality Attributes determine the architecture.
Principle 5: To understand an architecture you must understand its
quality attribute properties.
In most cases those properties are unknown and/or undocumented.
We extract the architecture approaches from the architecture.

How much do I need to know about the architecture?

determine the parts of the system to focus the analysis on.
We use a two dimensional prioritization (importance and difficulty) to
determine the trouble spots in the architecture.

The Architecture Understanding
Principle 5: To understand an architecture
you must understand its quality
attribute properties.
Principle 6: The most important quality
attribute requirements determine
the parts of the system to focus
the analysis on.
Principle 7: The distribution of functionality in
the architecture contributes to the
quality attribute properties.
Understanding the architecture means:
Understand the approaches the architect used, understand the
functional distribution and understand where to find the trouble
spots.

How to Evaluate the Architecture – 1
We have the yardstick.
We localized the interesting areas of the architecture.
Principle 8: “Guilty until proven innocent.”
It is the architect’s job to make the case that the architecture has the
right quality attribute properties.
How exactly do we measure the architecture?
![Page 21: How to Effectively Evaluate Software Architecture and Identify Risks€¦ · 7 Webinar ATAM principles © 2009 Carnegie Mellon University The principles of successful architecture](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071000/5fbcef202be5a82866610190/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
27
Webinar ATAM principles© 2009 Carnegie Mellon University
How to Evaluate the Architecture – 2
The architect should have the best understanding of the
architecture.
The architect should know all the stakeholders’ expectations.
The architect should have created the architecture to fulfill those
stakeholder expectations.
Do you trust him/her?
Doing architecture evaluation always means not to believe the
architect.
The architect knows all about the strengths of the architecture.
The architect may not know its weaknesses.
![Page 22: How to Effectively Evaluate Software Architecture and Identify Risks€¦ · 7 Webinar ATAM principles © 2009 Carnegie Mellon University The principles of successful architecture](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071000/5fbcef202be5a82866610190/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
28

How to Evaluate the Architecture – 3
If we don’t trust the architect, whom can we trust?
Principle 9: Proper analysis disallows assumptions. Only facts count.
Facts can be provided by formal analysis, prototype results, or
reasoning. The facts provided have to convince the evaluator.
We mostly use interviews for uncovering the facts.
![Page 23: How to Effectively Evaluate Software Architecture and Identify Risks€¦ · 7 Webinar ATAM principles © 2009 Carnegie Mellon University The principles of successful architecture](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071000/5fbcef202be5a82866610190/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

How to Evaluate the Architecture – 4
A final principle.
Principle 10: Evaluated organizations must own the evaluation
results.
Adhering to this principle does not make the evaluation better.
It increases the chances of producing a good product.

Principle 8: “Guilty until proven innocent.”
Principle 9: Proper analysis disallows
assumptions. Only facts count.
Principle 10: Evaluated organizations must
own the evaluation results.
Performing an evaluation means:
Do not blindly trust anything that is provided. Ask for convincing
evidence. Failure to provide this evidence results in risks.

Principle 1: Quality Attributes determine the architecture.
Principle 4: Quality attributes requirements need to be specified with good measures.
Principle 5: To understand an architecture you must understand its quality attribute

Applying Principles – Or Not?
Using an architecture evaluation method that adheres to all the
principles can almost guarantee successful results.
An architecture evaluation method that does not use any of the
principles will very likely end in a disaster.
If just one principle is not used, will that make the evaluation a failure?
Maybe – maybe not
In a specific context, the adherence to some principles is more
important than to others.
The better a method utilizes the principles, the higher the chances for
success.
