Group Exercise (EXAM TIPS): What is the comparison between ATAM, SAAM and ARID? (25 marks) ATAM examines how effectively software architecture achieves particular quality goals. The goal of ATAM is to provide a reference approach for comprehending the potential of several competing quality criteria of software architecture. When a system's software architecture is chosen and before the system is created, ATAM recognises the necessity to compromise between several quality attributes. It has been demonstrated that SAAM is useful for quickly analyzing a variety of quality attributes, including modifiability, portability, extensibility, integrability, and functional coverage. The reliability and performance of software architecture can also be reviewed using this methodology. The initial purpose of SAAM was to aid in comparing architectural options. Generally speaking, SAAM's goal is to compare the software architecture to the required level of quality. With regard to specific attributes, SAAM can distinguish between different software architectures. Along with CASE tools and warfare frameworks, numerous domains are tied to SAAM and its variants.

What is the advantage if we are using the ARID Evaluation Method? (15 marks)
