TY - CONF A1 - Schubanz, Mathias T1 - Design Rationale Capture in Software Architecture: What has to be captured? T2 - WCOP '14 Proceedings of the 19th international doctoral symposium on Components and architecture N2 - More than thirty years of research on the topic of design rationale (DR) have passed. However, as of today there are just some exceptional cases where DR are applied in industrial practise. Researchers analysed them for its nature, its structure, its quality, and for analyses to be performed on them. The results showed that DR have the potential to sustainably contribute to the product life cycle in terms of product design, product re-design, product testing, maintenance, and product quality. Hence, this paper presents a proposal to tackle the lack DR usage in documenting software architectures. We strive to promote the use of DR for designing software architectures. Therefore, as a complement to the numerous approaches to formalise the representation of DR, this paper is proposing to pay more attention on research how to capture rationale. In short, within this paper we introduce the topic of DR, related research and elaborate on the intended research on the topic of DR capture.
