Detector-based component model abstraction for microservice-based systems

Abstract One of the chief problems in software architecture is avoiding model drift and erosion all kinds complex systems. Microservice-based systems introduce new challenges this context, as they often use a large variety technologies their latest iteration, are changed released very frequently. Existing solutions that can be used to reconstruct models fall short addressing these challenges, cannot easily cope with continuous evolution, accuracy too low, highly polyglot settings not supported well. In work, we report on research study aiming design accurate abstraction approach for comprehending component evolution. After analyzing results related studies, found two possible approaches meet requirements our study: an opportunistic, reusable semi-automatic detector-based approach. We have conducted empirical case validation comparison approaches. conclude both detector feasible. study, breaks even terms time effort needed establishing reuse, if modest reuse detectors possible, producing slightly more high quality evolution-stable than opportunistic
