Abstract

Good software architecture design is crucial in successfully realizing an OOA specification with an appropriate OOD model that meets the specification's functional and non-functional requirements. Unfortunately, most CASE tools and software architecture design notations do not adequately support software architecture modeling and analysis, nor integration with OOA & D models. We describe SoftArch, an environment, which provides flexible software architecture modeling using a concept of successive refinement. SoftArch also provides extensible analysis tools enabling developers to analyze their architecture model properties. This paper overviews the motivation for SoftArch, its modeling and analysis capabilities, and its integration with various analysis, design and implementation tools.
