Section 1 (Research):
In this section you are supposed to provide some background about the chosen system. Then
you research about three quality attribute and its implications on software architecture.
Moreover, you need to investigate the effects of applying software architecture evaluation
methods in terms of the chosen quality attributes.
 Abstract (5%) – A self-contained, short, and powerful statement/brief that describes
your case study.

 Introduction (5%) - The purpose of your report. You also have to place some brief
details of your evaluation methods applied for your case study. Include an outline of
the structure of the report.
o Overview of case study
o Use Case

 Literature Review (20%) - Carefully structure your findings. First investigate the most
important quality attributes for selected case study. Outline the various software
architecture evaluation methods which are linked to those quality attributes.
Example:
Security
- What is it? Describe the quality attribute in general and in relation to internet
banking.
- Which software architecture evaluation technique can be specifically used to
evaluate this quality attribute, i.e. ATAM or SAM or ARID? (include references)
Note: can introduce new technique if you want, research from the internet
- Who is involved and what are the results from the evaluation?
