An architectural decision captures the result of a conscious, often collaborative option selection process and provides design rationale for the decision making outcome, e.g., by referencing one or more of the quality attributes addressed by the architectural decision and answering "why" questions about the design and option selection ...
Architecturally significant requirements are used in software design to drive and justify architectural decisions; if not satisfied properly, they contribute to the accumulation of technical debt. For instance, failure to meet security and compliance requirements complicates the system and process assurance audits and increases the risk of ...

[2] Its primary goal is to support designers by providing a means to record and communicate the argumentation and reasoning behind the design process. [3] It should therefore include: [4] the reasons behind a ...
Identify architectural approaches – different architectural approaches to the system are presented by the team, and discussed. Generate quality attribute utility tree – define the core business and technical requirements of the system, and map them to an appropriate architectural property. Present a scenario for this given requirement.
In recent years, ADD has been updated substantially to include platform-specific design, e.g. technology and framework choices via design concept catalogs, and to emphasize the making and documentation of architectural decisions. [5]
Agile architecture means how enterprise architects, system architects and software architects apply architectural practice in agile software development.A number of commentators have identified a tension between traditional software architecture and agile methods along the axis of adaptation (leaving architectural decisions until the last possible moment) versus anticipation (planning in ...

ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 defines requirements on the description of system, software and enterprise architectures.It aims to standardise the practice of architecture description by defining standard terms, presenting a conceptual foundation for expressing, communicating and reviewing architectures and specifying requirements that apply to architecture descriptions, architecture frameworks and ...
