Abstract

The goal of the Driver Integrity Check (DIC) is to get confidence that an architecture is built based on a set of architecture drivers that is agreed upon among the stakeholders. We will show how to work with stakeholders and how to reveal unclear architecture drivers or those on which no agreement exists. Architecture drivers are expressed using the well-known architecture scenarios. The activity is based on classical requirements engineering aimed at compensating for not elicited requirements and aggregating a large set of requirements into a manageable set for an architecture evaluation.
