Open up the Information System to new partners … without breaking anything

Companies have an increasing need to provide access on applications:

• To new trading partners
• Via new client interfaces
• And, more generally, to adapt application architecture to SOA

The difficulties are:

• Not to be limited to a simple wrapper because the target application must also be able to evolve with new users
• Not to lose the current business rules because they satisfy the current needs
• Not to lose the knowledge gained by the maintenance teams

 

Componentization: reorganize the IS components to satisfy the urbanization objectives

A significant innovation brought by SOFTMAINT to IS modernization is the capacity to industrialize the reorganization of application components without changing technology.  The benefits of this approach are as follows:

• Drastic reduction of costs compared to a rewrite
• Exhaustive analysis of the current business rules to ensure their reproduction in the target
• Capacity to produce a target perfectly in synchrony, in terms of its model, with urbanization
• Security of functional non-regression achieved by automating the testing process

 

The SOFTMAINT offer: generation from models

SOFTMAINT’s componentization approach includes the following steps:

1. Complete modeling of the sources application(s)
2. Creation of a target model, comparing it with the original
3. Generation of target skeletons and the extraction of the appropriate, existing code
4. Integration of the fragments of code within the target skeletons
5. Non-regression testing
