Software Architecture provides views and structure of the system at a high-level of abstraction. The selection of software architecture and user interface design has a great influence upon the quality of software. Our research is going in two directions; one to find the impact of layered architectural style upon maintainability of software and secondly to find the impact of user interface design with three-dimensional (3D) modeling upon usability of software. We need to choose architectural solutions based on the proven facts in order to find the desired quality attributes. The literature for the impact of architecture patterns on quality attributes shows a lack in achieving usability, that’s why we have chosen to assess a software architectural pattern along with interface design in order to achieve usability along with other quality attributes. We implemented a system “Electronic Communication Surveillance Analytic tool with 3D Modeling” based on the layered architectural style, then we evaluated this system for maintainability and usability.
