The reasons behind decisions made when designing a system or artifact are also known as its design rationale. Design rationale, or DR, differs from other forms of system documentation because it not only documents the results of design decisions, it also documents the reasons behind those decisions and any decision alternatives considered and rejected.
Background
While argumentation formats can be traced back to Toumlin's[1] datums, claims, warrants, backings and rebuttals., the origin of design rationale is attributed to Rittel[2] [3] .
Key Concepts in Design Rationale
There are a number of ways to characterize DR approaches. Some key distinguishing features are how it is captured, how it is represented, and how it can be used.
Rationale Capture
Rationale Representation
Rationale Uses
Rationale Approaches
There are several books and articles that provide excellent surveys of rationale approaches applied to HCI[4], Engineering Design[5], and Software Engineering[6].
