It is commonly accepted that quality attributes shape the architecture of a system. There are several means via which the architecture can support certain quality attributes. For example, to deal with reliability the system can be decomposed into a number of fault containment units, thus avoiding fault propagation. In addition to structural issues of architecture, qualities also influence architectural rules and guidelines, such as coding standards. In this paper we will focus on design aspects as a means of supporting quality attributes. An example of a design aspect is error handling functionality, which supports reliability. Quality attributes play a role in the problem domain; design aspects are elements in the solution domain.We will use an industrial case to illustrate our ideas. The discussion ranges from how design aspects are defined in the architecture based on quality attributes, to how design aspects can be used to verify the realized system against the prescribed architecture. The industrial case is a product family of medical imaging systems. For this product family, the family members are constructed from a component-based platform. Here, it is especially useful to achieve aspect-completeness of components, allowing system composition without worrying about individual design aspects.
