Migration Methodology

Aztecsoft has specialized in migration services and has spent many man years in evolving through a methodology that would result in higher productivity and increased quality.




Phase Details
Discovery Phase
  • High level analysis of reengineering needs & architecture
    • Existing architecture
    • Third party libraries
    • Design analysis
    • Reengineering constraints
  • Reengineering Strategy
    • Analysis of platform dependent calls
    • Strategy for each module (including Installer)
    • Third party libraries (equivalents)
    • Effort estimation for code migration & testing, identifying prototypes
  • Prototyping
    • Validate strategy
    • Verify third party libraries, new products to be used, Installer etc.
Code Migration and Testing Phase
  • Objective - Have a target system that is a functionally equivalent of the current system
  • Develop critical restructured components in first iteration
  • Determine the dependency graph of each component
  • Convert the source code to target language using tools or techniques
  • Use mapping repository to resolve known tool limitation
  • Build and test the target source
  • Track various prescribed indicators of the target system for optimal performance
Optimization Phase
  • Indicators include performance tuning, localization practices, preferred approach/alternate in the target platform, configuration
  • Analyze the recorded indicator matrix and define an implementation plan
  • Iterative lifecycle is adopted to code and test these feature implementation
  • Execute well-defined system testing phase to measure and verify the characteristics of the target system
