Active reviews of intermediate designs (ARID)

Active reviews of intermediate designs (ARID) is an architecture review method that combines ADR with ATAM. This hybrid method takes from the ADR approach the focus of reviewing a software architecture while it is in progress and the emphasis on active reviewer participation. It combines this with the ATAM approach of focusing on quality attribute scenarios. The goal is to provide valuable feedback into the viability of the software architecture and uncover any errors and inadequacies with it.
