We now have Quality Attributes from SEI, Non-functional requirements from the Unified Process and the RUP, and Perspectives which is used in this book which is based on the IEEE Std 1471, which is a great book by the way.

And now 'Quality of Service Requirement' from Microsoft.

Quality attribute requirements drive the design of architecture and the resulting views of the architecture.   A Software Architectural Synthesis Factor Table results from several iterations of putting together different abstraction levels and then views of an architecture.  The factor table below came from an old project that in the end the client decided would be to costly to move forward with.  I thought I would post it to give an example of what a factor table ends up looking like.
