About Quality of Service Requirements

Generally the process of collecting an appropriate set of scenarios requires a large stakeholder group donig brainstorming. The utility tree provides the context, but each stakeholder should reflect their specific perspective as one or more scenarios - developers, testers, operations staff, users, project managers, etc. all provide their input via scenarios.

See the sidebar on pages 54-55 of "Evaluating Software Architectures" for an interesting treatment of scenarios. Also see Step 7 "Brainstorm and Prioritize Scenarios" of the ATAM method on page 59 of the book.
