- Compare architectural solutions by identifying the trade-offs of these solutions and selecting an appropriate solution for a given situation;
- Model a software architecture and select appropriate representations;
- Recover a software architecture by identifying the main architectural decisions, and by representing multiple perspectives of the architecture;
- Evaluate a software architecture by appraising its architectural properties.
