Abstract |
Most of the software community would accept that software architecture and software requirements have a strong association. Whatever, requirement analyst capture during requirement gathering phase, it is exactly depicted in software design. However some experts has different perspective about this correlation, they argue that requirements are just description of the problem itself and architecture is the abstract structure of software system, in which different main elements are connected with each other. New trends in the field of software architecture have changed the perspective of considering software architecture as abstract structure only to a wider scope of architectural knowledge. Additionally, these new trends assigns a first class status to architectural design decisions of the software. In this paper we argue that, fundamentally there is no difference between software requirements and architectural design decisions, by adapting this comparatively the latest point of view, we can identify those areas where both requirements and architecture communities can help each other. |
