Introduction
Functionality and Quality Attributes are orthogonal
Overall factors that affect run-time behavior, system design, and user experience
Software quality is the degree to which software possesses a desired combination of attributes(e.g., reliability, interoperability) [IEEE 1061].

Architecture and Quality Attributes
Architecture, by itself, is unable to achieve qualities
Architecture should include the factors of interest for each attribute

Quality Attributes Scenario
Is a quality-attribute-specific requirement It consists of six parts: Source of stimulus Stimulus Environment Artifact Response Response measure

Common Quality Attributes
It categorizes the attributes in various specific areas Design qualities Runtime qualities System qualities User qualities Non-runtime qualities Architecture qualities Business qualities

Design Quality Attributes
Conceptual Integrity: Defines the consistency and coherence of the overall
design Includes the way that components or modules are
designed Maintainability: Ability of the system to undergo changes with a degree
of ease Reusability: Defines the capability for components and subsystems to
be suitable for use in other applications
![Page 7: Quality attributes in software architecture](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55388eeb4a7959b26f8b47d7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Runtime Quality Attributes
Interoperability: Ability of a system or different systems to operate
successfully by communicating and exchanging information with other external systems written and run by external parties
Manageability: Defines how easy it is for system administrators to
manage the application Reliability: Ability of a system to remain operational over time
![Page 8: Quality attributes in software architecture](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55388eeb4a7959b26f8b47d7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Scalability: Ability of a system to either handle increases in load
without impact on the performance of the system, or the ability to be readily enlarged
Performance: Indication of the responsiveness of a system to execute
any action Security: Capability of a system to prevent malicious or
accidental actions outside of the designed usage
![Page 9: Quality attributes in software architecture](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55388eeb4a7959b26f8b47d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9 Availability: Proportion of time that the system is functional and
working Measured as a percentage of the total system
downtime over a predefined period

System Quality Attributes Supportability: Ability of the system to provide information helpful for
identifying and resolving issues when it fails to work correctly
Testability: Measure of how easy it is to create test criteria for the
system and its components
Figure 5: Sample testability scenario

User Quality Attributes
Usability: Defines how well the application meets the
requirements of the user and consumer by being intuitive
Figure 6: Sample usability scenario

Non-runtime Quality Attributes
Portability: Ability of a system to run under different computing
environments Reusability: Degree to which existing applications can be reused
in new applications Integrability: Ability to make the separately developed components
of the system work correctly together
![Page 15: Quality attributes in software architecture](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55388eeb4a7959b26f8b47d7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Modifiability: Ease with which a software system can accommodate
changes to its software
Figure 7: Sample modifiability scenario

Architecture Quality Attributes
Correctness: Accountability for satisfying all requirements of the
system Conceptual Integrity: Integrity of the overall structure that is composed
from a number of small architectural structures
![Page 17: Quality attributes in software architecture](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55388eeb4a7959b26f8b47d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Business Quality Attributes
Cost and schedule: Cost of the system with respect to time to market,
expected project lifetime, and utilization of legacy and COTS systems
Marketability: Use of the system with respect to market competition
