ATAM: Method for Architecture Evaluation
Abstract
If a software architecture is a key business asset for an organization, then architectural analysis must also be a key practice for that organization. Why? Because architectures are complex and involve many design tradeoffs. Without undertaking a formal analysis process, the organization cannot ensure that the architectural decisions made-particularly those which affect the achievement of quality attribute such as performance, availability, security, and modifiability-are advisable ones that appropriately mitigate risks. In this report, some of the technical and organizational foundations for performing architectural analysis are discussed, the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM), is presented. The ATAM is a technique for analyzing software architectures that has been developed and refined in practice over the past three years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
