Abstract

Software architecture review is an important part of architecture construction and evaluation, aimed at ensuring high-quality architecture thus leading to high-quality product. The literature recognizes the different benefits gained by architecture review. Yet, our empirical findings obtained in a large scale software organization show that (1) not all architects are fully aware of the review contribution, and (2) in addition to improving the quality of the architecture, the review encompasses other value propositions, such as promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and verifying alignment with the organization's strategy. The study presented in this paper is a first step in an ongoing research aimed at improving existing architecture review processes, methods and tools for enhancing the review's various contributions.
