https://leanpub.com/isaqbglossary/read#ArchitectureEvaluation

Quantitative or qualitative assessment of a (software or system) architecture. Determine if an architecture can achieve its target qualities or quality attributes?

See Assessment

In our opinion the terms architecture analysis or architecture assessment are more appropriate, as evaluation contains value, implying numerical assessment (which is usually only part of what you should do in architecture analysis).

- Instead of refering to Assessment, we should refer to "Architecture assessment".

- Moreover the term Assessment should be changed to Architecture assessment
