Abstract
A System to Maintain Balance of Factory Quality Attributes with Software Factory Operating Environment provides the means to determine if a deliverable will meet the needs of a client's project. The process includes the identification and measurement of different parameters of a software factory, including specified architectural features, and compares these parameters with the factory's strategic artifacts and client's critical project needs to qualify attributes within the software factory environment. This process provides a means to monitor and maintain an optimal balance of desirable quality attributes. Thus, quality attributes are analyzed before design time and before delivery of a software product, such that an analysis can be performed before any considerable amount of time and efforts have been spent on a project.
