Evaluating component architecture visualization tools

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

There are many software architecture modeling tools and their use is very common in practice. But a closer look reveals that in the ever more important area of component-based architectures, system architects or component assemblers are constrained by the lack of good model representations. On one hand, a generic representation like UML provides insuf?cient support for component-speci?c needs, on the other hand, tools focused on component development sometimes force the user to learn new visual syntax speci?c for the component model. Advanced features offered by the tools on top of basic architecture visualization are often limited. In this paper we propose a set of criteria for the evaluation of tools for component architecture visualization, considering the needs of both architectural modeling and analytical tasks. These criteria are thoroughly discussed and their use is shown on a case study which evaluates a current state of the art tool.
