The output of 18 software architecture evaluations are analyzed
to find patterns in the risk themes identified in the evaluations.
The major results are:
• A categorization of risk themes
• The observation that twice as many risk themes are risks of
“omission” as are risks of “commission”.
• A failure to find a relationship between the business and
mission goals of a system and the risk themes from an
evaluation of that system.
• A failure to find a relationship between the domain of a system
being evaluated and the risk themes associated with the
development of that system.
The results of this investigation have application to practitioners
by suggesting activities on which developers should put greater
focus. They also have application to researchers by suggesting
further areas of investigation.
