Chapter 2. Related Work 12SMART–MP – SMART Migration Pilot focuses mainly on early project analysis.The analysis determinates potential challenges, trade–offs, risks and costby identifying potential services and their components [10]. Migration Planningtries also to recognise pilot project and appropriate migration strategies [10]. Accordingto SMART–MP description[10], the technique consists of four followingelements :1. Element 1 –SMART–MP ProcessThe first element is a process that is meant to analyze the gap betweenboth the actual and a target system by gathering information about legacycomponents and potential services build on them. Gap analysis leads todevelopment of an initial migration strategy.2. Element 2 –Service Migration Interview Guide (SMIG)Interview Guide aims at identification of potential risk and costs associatedwith the migration process. The identification is based on answeringquestions, which are categorized in more than 60 categories [10].3. Element 3 –SMART ToolThe tool supports data collection and organization. The support of assignationof answers to the question to related risks [10].The tool uses SMIGas a framework to create a draft migration strategy.4. Element 4 –Artifact TemplatesThe element consists of templates for following artifacts [10]: MigrationIssues List, Business Process–Service Mapping, Service Table, ComponentTable, Service – Component Alternatives Table and Migration Strategy.Elements presented above are further used during migration process by SMARTactivities (see figure 2.1). SMART–MP technique distinguishes six iterative processes:1. Process 1 –Establish ContextEstablishing of the context is the first SMART–MP process. The processis meant to gather basic information about the system by describing itsbusiness and technical context. Business context includes identification ofstakeholders and identification of their goals. The technical context includesidentification of candidate services and analysis of legacy system. Servicesidentified during this step are generic because generalisation helps to determinateproject feasibility and provides required experience if the decisionabout migration is made [10]. However, this is the first SMART process, itgenerates three out of eight documents [10].(a) Stakeholder List –contains list of stakeholders with contact data andinformation to elicit from each of them.
Chapter 2. Related Work 13(b) Characteristic List –contains a set of predefined characteristics meantto support decision about migration feasibility. The information refersto legacy system’s components.(c) Migration Issues List –the list contains information about potentialmigration issues of both the system and single components2. Process 2 –Define Candidate ServicesService Candidate Definition is restricted to a small number (typically 3–4)of well defined in the previous step services. A good candidate keeps highcohesion, high reuse (see 4.3.1) and clearly defined input and output. Finally,selected services are specified more precisely in terms of Quality ofService (QoS) and definition of input–output.3. Process 3 –Describe Existing CapabilityCapability description is meant to localize and gather information aboutcomponents of legacy system that contain functionality required by previouslyselected services [10]. The description of component includes botharchitectural view like design paradigms, system quality and technical viewlike implementation platform, language, code documentation, code size [10],age of the components, code complexity and interfaces for users and systems[49].Asides from gathering technical and business description, componentsshould be described from quality point of view, by taking into considerationtheir change history, outstanding problems, likehood of meeting long termneeds and historical cost of development and maintenance [49]. All thisinformation is presented in two formal artifacts:(a) Component Table – contains only components meant for migration toservices. The table captures also characteristics described in characteristiclist.(b) Service Table –contains a list of possible services derived from componenttable with characteristics of those services.4. Process 4 – describes Target SOA EnvironmentDescription of a target environment includes major components of targetenvironment with influencing technologies and standards, guidelines for serviceimplementation, their interaction with environment and quality of services(QoS) [10].5. Process 5 –Analyse the GapThe gap analysis is meant to provide preliminary approximation of costsand risks of particular services allocated from the legacy system. The approximationis based on necessary changes of each required component. Inturn, the allocation is based on characteristic of SOA environment and requirementscoming from previously identified services. Gap analysis has
