An Architectural Conformance Checking

Brief Description

The purpose of this application is to aid software engineers on detecting architectural anomalies in adaptive systems (ASs). Engineers have to identify main abstractions of an AS and specify the planned architecture by means a domain specific language. After that, the application is able to identify and recommend possible architectural anomalies.
