This paper describes the ADDSS tool which enables capturing and documenting architectural design decisions in order to avoid knowledge vaporization
Effort Estimation in Capturing Architectural Knowledge
(2010-02-04T14:33:03Z) Capilla, Rafael; Nava, Francisco; Carrillo, Carlos
Capturing and using design rationale is becoming a hot topic for software architects, as architectural design decisions are now considered first class entities that should be recorded and documented explicitly. Capturing such architecture knowledge has been underestimated for several years as architects have been only focused on documenting their architectures and neglecting the rationale that led to them. The importance of recording design rationale becomes enormous for maintenance and evolution activities, as design decisions can be replayed in order to avoid highly cost architecture recovery processes. Hence, in this work we describe how architecture design decisions can be captured and documented with specific tool support. We also provide effort estimation in capturing such knowledge and we compare this with architecture modeling efforts in order to analyze the viability of knowledge capturing strategies.
Processes for Creating and Exploiting Architectural Design Decisions with Tool Support
(2010-02-10T17:43:00Z) Nava, Francisco; Capilla, Rafael; Dueñas, Juan C.
Software architectures suffer of a serious lack of documented design decisions, but also an explicit definition of the processes needed to create and exploit such architectural knowledge. To address these issues, we focus on the specification of those activities that we believe should be implemented to support the creation and use of design rationale with tool support.
