4.3. Summary 4.3 Summary Design rationale research has been ongoing for over two decades but its adoption by the industry is still questionable. As such, software engineering research in this area is still in the early stages of problem identification and concept formulation. In this thesis, we have identified six research questions. The current state of the industry (questions 1,2 and 3) are validated by using a survey method and a statistical analysis. The methodology to address the effectiveness of architecture design rationale representation (question 4) is validated in an empirical study by comparing it with traditional design specifications. The other two research questions on the application of architecture design rationale (questions 5 and 6) are implemented and demonstrated by using an industry example. 51
