Model-Based Engineering Reduces Cost and Risk, Increases Confidence
The SEI provides technical assistance and guidance to transform the architectural design process from one based on human evaluation to one based on automated analysis. This analysis includes validating system quality attributes early in the design-phase, facilitating system integration, and conducting impact and tradeoff analysis using architecture models.

Modeling of system quality attributes is often done with low-fidelity software models and disjointed architectural specifications by various engineers using their own specialized notations. These models are typically not maintained or documented throughout the life cycle, making it difficult to predict the impact of change on attributes that cut across system functionality. The unanticipated effects of design approaches or changes are discovered only late in the life cycle, when they are much more expensive to resolve. Analysis of a system architecture model offers a better way to predict the behavior of quality attributes. The SEI approach to model-based engineering (MBE) allows analysis
