| Criterion |  Architecture Views and Beyond |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Knowledge Modeling NeOn Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Views and Beyond organizes architecture into several views so no single diagram has to do everything at once. This makes it possible to choose the representation that fits the stakeholder's question. | LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail. | The NeOn Methodology structures ontology work as a controlled process with reuse, scenarios, and reviews. It is useful when ontologies should not emerge ad hoc but modularly and reusably. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 1-3 Tage | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | Mehrere Wochen bis Monate |
Participantsdifferent | 1-4 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 2-10 |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
