A Process Module to Pre-Process Requirements for Architecting

Software architectures have a significant impact on software quality. However, building architectures is a non-trivial task. In this paper, we present a process module for pre-processing requirements before developing the architecture. The benefit of this module is that it “prepares” requirements for architecting: It helps elicit additional technical and process-related information based on requirements. This information will be useful during the creation of architectures. The module can be used in the context of different architecture processes.
