Pre-test

You are software architecture who is ridden with rather ... technically challenged boss. Your boss's boss (The Big Boss) is requesting evaluation of the SoftwareProductPro™, which is going to be newer and improved version of SoftwareProduct™, with many new features. In short moment of clarity, your boss realized that "Jugend" probably wasn't the answer that The Big Boss was looking for, so he sends for you.

You need to explain why one would evaluate software architecture and what kind of tools or methods are available for this.

After all, you are his trusted architect. Surely you must know about evaluating the software architecture too. You have around half a page to explain the matters to your boss.
