Abstract
The open problem of structural methods is how to take a better advantage of software architectural concepts to analyse software systems for quality attributes in a systematic and repetitive way. Throughout the presentation we try to introduce a way of thinking founded on analysis at the architecture level of the quality attributes with the purpose to initiate and maintain a software product-line considering the quality as the main driver in product line development. This tutorial represents a study that shows the state of the research at this moment, in the quality analysis methods for software architectures, by presenting and discussing the most representative architecture analysis methods. The role of the discussion is to offer guidelines related to the use of the most suitable method for an architecture assessment process.
