SWISS GERMAN UNIVERISTY
SPL has grown and several architecture methods are ready to use for organizations.
One of it is Quality-driven Architecture Design and quality Analysis method (QADA). QADA is chosen because it is a quality-driven architecture design method, which means that quality requirements are the driving force when selecting software structures. However, QADA do not support variability management and don't have implementation artifact ready, this may lead to maintainability and evolution issue when the current assets need to be modified heavily, this problem can be solved by implementing software mass customization. The goal of the study is to explore the possibility of modifying an existing QADA methodology with mass customization to obtain a better understanding of its risks, issues, and strategies. The outcomes of the thesis are the new modified methodology and results evaluation, the modification is use inference engine. The generated system is basically a description but actual implementation of the program can be different based on preferences and the structural capability of the chosen programming language.
Keywords: Software product line, Mass customization, QADA, software architecture, modification.
