Abstract

A software architecture is the key artifact in software design, describing the main elements of a software system and their interrelationships. We present a method for automatically analyzing the quality of an architecture by searching for architectural and design patterns from it. In addition to approximating the quality of the design, the extracted patterns can also be used for predicting the quality of the actual system. The method is demonstrated by an industrial case over a complex telephone exchange software.
