This paper discusses using the Sun architecture methodologies to translate customer business drivers and stated functional and operational requirements into a measurable Critical to Quality (CTQ) baseline for architectural analysis and solution testing. The paper discusses techniques for collecting and analyzing CTQ baselines that are created with clearly traceable origins, clearly measurable success criteria, and clearly documented activities to make those CTQ measurements. The paper also describes how the N1 Grid architecture can enable implementors to think of measuring and delivering a very different set of CTQs than previously available to them and some of the work required to collect, deliver, and use those measurements.
