The document describes an extension made to the GRAY WATCH framework. GRAY WATCH is a framework that describes the technical, managerial, and support aspects for developing business software applications. The extension incorporates quality models and a focus on architectural design. It adapts existing GRAY WATCH processes and products to consider quality standards and architectural evaluation. The extended framework also defines architectural requirements, identifies subsystems, and includes architecture design and selection. The conclusion discusses further reviewing technical processes and incorporating additional metrics to continue improving the framework.

2. Method engineering (ME)
 A discipline of conceptualization, construction
and adaptation of methods techniques and tools
for the support of information system
development process
 Provide effective solutions, focused on the
design, the improvement, and also, the evolution
of the development methods of the IS

3. GRAY WATCH
 A framework that describes the Technical,
Managerial and Support aspects that must be
used by teams responsible of the development
of business software applications

5. GRAY WATCH
Identification of Subsystems

6. Software Quality
 The ISO/IEC 25000 standard incorporates a
series of international standards called
“Requirements and Quality Evaluation of
Software Products” (SQuaRE)
 SQuaRE is formed
by the division of
the quality model
through Standard
25010

7. Software Quality
 RECLAMO is a model for requirements
classification which facilitates the identification
of non-functional requirements with quality
 InDoCaS is a process for Domain Engineering
based on Software Quality. The design phase
focuses on the architectural evaluation of the
domain
 InDoCaSE process support the development of
software quality product lines. The process
consider several specifications of architectural
components

9. GRAY WATCH extension
Architecture selection

10. Conclusión y Perpectivas
 The extension consider quality models and
architectural design
 The processes and product were adapted to the
existing process of GRAY WATCH
 Review other technical process and incorporate
other metrics for instance:
 The “Test process”
 “Quality in Use”
