架构设计的特点是作出一系列具有全系统影响的决定。这些决策具有副作用，可能对系统产生重大影响。然而，当系统架构难以改变时，可能会在很久以后才首次理解这种影响。架构模式可以帮助架构师在做出架构决策时理解这些决策的影响，因为模式包含有关模式使用的后果和上下文的信息。然而，这一信息的用途有限，因为它没有连贯一致或系统地列报。我们讨论了目前模式在评估其对质量属性的影响方面的局限性，并提出了整合模式对质量属性的影响信息，以增加架构模式的有用性。
Architectural design has been characterized as making a series of decisions that have system-wide impact. These decisions have side effects which can have significant impact on the system. However, the impact may be first understood much later; when the system architecture is difficult to change. Architecture patterns can help architects understand the impact of the architectural decisions at the time these decisions are made, because patterns contain information about consequences and context of the pattern usage. However, this information has been of limited use because it is not presented consistently or systematically. We discuss the current limitations of patterns on evaluating their impact on quality attributes, and propose integrating the information of patterns’ impact on quality attributes in order to increase the usefulness of architecture patterns.
