The need for architectural rationale has long been recognized, but unfortunately it has remained a relatively unexplored area of research in software architecture. However, there is growing interest in methods for capturing the rationale behind software architectures. We summarize two of these methods (CBSP and Archium), present an exploratory case study using both methods to evolve a real software system, and then use the results from this case study to analyze and compare these methods. From this analysis, we conclude that the CBSP and Archium methods are complementary rather than competing because of their respective strengths and weaknesses.

We present results from a qualitative study of design decision making that used interviews, observations and participatory observations to describe inherent traits of software design decision makers. We find that designers do not always strive for optimal design solutions, that designers do not always consider alternatives when making design decisions, and that alternatives are considered more often in groups of people having a casual conversation. We highlight that tool support for capturing design rationale and intent should first recognize the way decisions are inherently made in software environments and we provide a summary of our results as an indicator of requirements for such tools.
