Abstract
Due to the increasingly complexity of industry software products, software architecture evaluation is getting important to effectively identify potential risks and ensure the quality goals of the resulting system are well addressed in the design phase. However, despite the plethora of evaluation approaches proposed in academia, few of them have proven suitable to evaluate architecture designs of wide spread industry applications. As the initial efforts of addressing this issue, this paper identifies the gaps between an ideal industry friendly software architecture evaluation approach and existing evaluation methods.
