Abstract

Why evaluate software architecture? For many organizations, the achievement of business and mission goals is frustrated by software system problems such as poor quality and slow time to market. How do you know if a software architecture is deficient or at risk relative to its targeted system qualities? The answer is to evaluate it.

Our methods are informed by the experiences of SEI staff members who have worked directly with dozens of organizations over the past 20 years, helping them achieve significant cost reductions, quicker time to market, and higher product quality by applying architecture-centric practices to the development of their systems. This brochure describes how we can help.
