Overview
An integral part of insuring the success of a legacy modernization project is not only to reduce risk, but to retain or improve the quality of a legacy software system. eCube Systems provides an analysis tool to assist software managers in modeling their software applications and determining a software quality model that quantifies quality for thei application and can therefore identify their needs for modernization. By measuring the metrics against a Software Quality Model, the resulting metrics can be used in the context of their future requirements. By insuring Software Quality, they can concentrate on modernizing the right components for extending the life of their application
Features
Since the risks associated with modernizing software are directly related to assuring the quality of software being modernized, areas which historically cause problems in software projects need to be identified. Once the most common problem areas are identified, a set of software metrics can be developed from the attributes defining each area that would be useful in the risk management process. The legacy software quality areas typically focuesed on include:
-
Accuracy – measurement of correctness
-
Reliability – proven ability to operate without errors
-
Integrity – measurement of security
-
Dependency – measuring architecture dependence
-
Maintainability – measuring the ease of change
-
Modularity – quantifying the design quality
-
Feasibility – time constraints or requirements
-
Reusability – measuring the application’s coupling
