Bridging the Gap between Requirements Engineering and Software Architecture
This book systematically identifies the lack of methodological support for development of requirements and software architecture in the state-of-the-art. To overcome this deficiency, the QuaDRA framework is proposed as a problem-oriented approach. It prov

Foreword
Developing software that perfectly fits its purpose is a truly non-trivial task. For many years, the CHAOS research of the Standish Group shows that the majority of software projects still cannot be considered to be successful, but are challenged or even fail. The reasons for this undesirable situation are manifold, but an insufficient understanding of the problem is one of them. Different studies indicate that in average software development projects, more effort is devoted to testing than to requirements analysis and design. This distribution of effort has the disadvantage that software quality is taken into account mostly at the end of the software development process, when the product already exists. It appears to be promising to spend more effort in analyzing the problem to be solved and developing an adequate design. In this way, software quality can be addressed right from the beginning
