Abstract

Software architecture can be a critical factor in software development. Understanding what software architects do in practice is necessary to the enterprise of providing techniques, methods, process, tools and technologies to support the development and use of software architecture. In this paper, we present the results of how architects handle requirements in practice. We then summarize the key lessons learned from the study.
