چکیده

In order to correctly determine if the software architecture for a system complies with the user requirements, it is necessary to review the software architecture description. There are different means available to perform these reviews ranging from checklists to detailed step-by-step protocols. In this paper we propose the ARTs, a new set of reading techniques focused on software architecture. We provide an overview of these new techniques and report on an initial feasibility study. The results of the feasibility study showed that the techniques were useful and seen by the subjects to provide benefit over a checklist-based approach. Another interesting result requiring additional research is that the checklist seemed to focus reviewers on defects of commission while the reading techniques seemed to focus reviewers on defects of type omission.
