Title

[Using Cost-Benefit–Driven Strategy]

Description

Evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of developing a self-adaptation strategy by quantifying the design-time costs (e.g., implementation effort, added complexity) and benefits (e.g., reusability, improved measurement of system qualities). This aids architects in deciding whether developing such a strategy is economically justified before implementation

Participant

Software developers

Related software artifact

Context

During system design when considering whether to incorporate a new self-adaptation strategy to address anticipated runtime variability

Software feature

Self-adaptivity framework

Tactic intent

To guide early architectural decisions regarding whether a self-adaptation strategy should be implemented based on expected ROI

Target quality attribute

Cost Efficiency

Other related quality attributes

< unknown >

Measured impact

Return on investment (ROI) calculated by benefits and costs at design and runtime
