ArQuE: Architecture-Centric Quality Engineering

The ArQuE project has developed an integrated and comprehensive method that enables goal-oriented,architecture-centric development and strategic quality engineering. The consolidated expertise from applying the ArQuE approach at different industry partners shows the applicability and scalability in the embedded systems domain. The approach leads to reduced maintenance effort and simplified evolution of the respective software systems. The experiences made and knowledge gained in the instantiations of the approach for the industrial systems document the overall project success and give evidence that the overall return on investment of the Argue approach is positive.
