A Survey on Software Architecture and its Evaluation Method

In recent decades, software tools have become more and more complicated, and the need for more powerful software has been increased. It seems that traditional methods aren’t able to reply the modern requirements. So, there’s a need to create and use newer methods which can dominate these complications in shorter times.However, it’s not possible to eliminate the existing software systems which have serviced customers. Thus, the newer systems must be combined with the older ones to be uniform. In latest years, researches about software architecture have been one of the most important topics in engineering as well as architectural analysing of software as a main subject in this field. Architectural evaluation concentrates on qualitative features and properties and their application level. Different researcher groups have created several new methods and offered them for evaluation of software architecture quality.
