A version-aware tool for design rationale
Pages 20 - 26
Abstract
Software Concordance Design Rationale (SCDR) is a tool for recording design rationale, which describes the reasons that a system's design was chosen. Using the editing, linking, and versioning services of the Software Concordance system, SCDR allows developers to structure their design discussions and connect them to any of the other software documents used in the system. The versioning services, in particular, show developers the context of the design discussions, making those discussion comprehensible even in systems whose components have changed considerably over time.

Scientific design rationale
Design rationale should be regarded both as a tool for the practice of design, and as a method to enable the science of design. Design rationale answers questions about why a given design takes the form that it does. Answers to these why questions ...
