Providing Automated Holistic Process and Knowledge Assistance during Software Modernization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software modernization remains a difficult, highly intellectual, labor-intensive, collaborative, and risky undertaking involving software engineers interacting in knowledge-centric processes. While many tools and several methodologies are available, current modernization projects lack adequate automated and systematic operational process support. This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of automated process and knowledge assistance for software modernization, giving background information on related work in this area, and then expounds on various problems. To address these, a holistic solution approach and guidance framework called the Context-aware Software Engineering Environment Event-driven framework (CoSEEEK) is described, which can support developers on software modernization projects, addressing such aspects as process dynamicity, extrinsic processes, process exception handling, coordination, quality assurance, and knowledge provisioning. Subsequently, future research directions are discussed and a conclusion is drawn.

Business processes, most of which are automated by information systems, have become a key asset in organizations. Unfortunately, uncontrolled maintenance implies that information systems age overtime until they need to be modernized. During software modernization, ageing systems cannot be entirely discarded because they gradually embed meaningful business knowledge, which is not present in any ...

متن کاملContextual Injection of Quality Measures into Software Engineering Processes
Despite improvements in software engineering processes and tools, concrete preventative and analytical software quality assurance activities are still typically manually triggered and determined, resulting in missed or untimely quality opportunities and increased project overhead. Quality goals, when defined, lack holistic environmental support for automated performance measurement and governan...
متن کاملRe-engineering Legacy Systems for Modernization:The Role of Software Reuse
In this paper we outline our legacy modernization approach that incorporates our reuse process and repository which we have called the Knowledge Base Software Reuse (KBSR) Process and the KBSR Repository. The KBSR Process and Repository aim to give software engineers easy access to reusable software artefacts and reusable components within a defined process which we have incorporated into our m...
