Abstract: The present study explores the correlation between architectural skills and software user preferences, thereby offering insights for software developers to tailor their products effectively according to users' varying skill levels. Accordingly, a questionnaire was employed to delve into the perspectives of three distinct user groups, each possessing different levels of architectural skills. The primary aim of this inquiry was to pinpoint the key characteristics that hold significance for users within each skill level. Analysis of the responses revealed significant correlations between architectural skill and software preferences, highlighting variations in preferences based on skill levels. Key factors such as ease of use, customization, and compatibility with other tools emerged as particularly influential among users. The findings provide valuable assistance for developers in terms of designing software that is user-friendly and highly effective. Additionally, these findings can be utilized to evaluate the suitability of software, ultimately enhancing the process of software evaluation.
