“…To ease the transition from requirements to architecture, Côté et al (2007) describe an informal approach based on problem frames, a requirements engineering methodology. Architectural patterns are assumed to be associated to corresponding problem frames via traceability links.…”

Security is an important quality aspect of modern open software systems. However, it is challenging to keep such systems secure because of evolution. Security evolution can only be managed adequately if it is considered for all artifacts throughout the software development lifecycle. This article provides state of the art on the evolution of security engineering artifacts. The article covers the state of the art on evolution of security requirements, security architectures, secure code, security tests, security models, and security risks as well as security monitoring. For each of these artifacts the authors give an overview of evolution and security aspects and discuss the state of the art on its security evolution in detail. Based on this comprehensive survey, they summarize key issues and discuss directions of future research.

“…Côté et al [5] propose a software development method using problem frames for requirements analysis and using architectural patterns for the design. For the benefit of evolving systems, evolution operators are proposed to guide a pattern-based transformation procedure, including re-engineering tasks for adjusting a given software architecture to meet new system demands.…”

Abstract. The feedback from architectural decisions to the elaboration of requirements is an established concept in the software engineering community. However, pinpointing the nature of this feedback in a precise way is a largely open problem. Often, the feedback is generically characterized as additional qualities that might be affected by an architect's choice. This paper provides a practical perspective on this problem by leveraging architectural security patterns. The contribution of this paper is the Security Twin Peaks model, which serves as an operational framework to co-develop security in the requirements and the architectural artifacts.
