Architectural transformations make up the core of architectural design and play a crucial role in user requirements satisfaction. Because of their impact to the software structure and behavior, they directly influence the values of software quality attributes. For this reason they can become not only a way for well specified and automated software architecture development but also a mechanism for early stage software quality management. This paper introduces the notion of architectural transformations and their impact to the software architecture model. It points at the relationship among transformations, non-functional requirements and architectural styles. It gives the arguments for architectural change automation. A motivating example of how transformations can be employed to the custom software architect activities is also given.
