Abstract :
Quality attribute requirements are important both for customer and end-user satisfaction and for driving software system design. Yet asserting their importance raises many other questions. In particular, using quality attribute information in practice isn´t obvious. Here, we consider two aspects of using such information: communicating with stakeholders about quality attributes and incorporating quality attribute requirements into existing analysis and design methods.
