In preparation for a customer's Software System Critical Design Review (CDR); we concluded that an assessment approach based on a hybrid version of the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Architecture Trade-Off Analysis Method (ATAM) would be a good approach for an assessment of this software architecture. This paper will provide ideas on how to apply the SEI's ATAM method within the context of a formal software Critical Design Review (CDR) of a large scale complex software system.
