Abstract:
Modernizing an IT system is a long, complex journey. The pre-migration phase is the starting point of each migration project where the decision to transform the legacy rather than to rewrite it has to be taken. In order to support this decision making, the ARTIST European project [1] proposes a technical feasibility analysis to as much technical information as possible about the legacy application itself and about the required technical tasks to migrate its components. This paper presents a technical feasibility analysis which relies on Cloud Migration Point approach to estimate the cost of the migration (in terms of required effort) and incorporates techniques such as Model Driven Reverse Engineering, software complexity metrics or Domain Specific Language-based heuristics to automate this process as much as possible, although leaving to the user the knowledge and control all over the entire process
