Abstract: [This abstract is based on the authors' abstract.] Existing software architectural measurement techniques are qualitative in nature. However, the support measures for different quality attributes need to be quantitatively measured to determine if stakeholder’s quality requirements are being met. A new quantitative measurement technique is proposed that applies common software measurement international consortium (COSMIC) full function points (FFP) principles at the architectural level to measure the quality attributes based on ISO 9126 quality standards. The proposed technique is applied to the key word in context case study (KWIC). Analytic hierarchy process constant sum pair method and Expert Choice 11 are used to rank the candidate architectures.
