Recovering Rationale
نویسنده
چکیده
Understanding the rationale of the architectural decisions supports software evolution: when developers add functionality, the explicit rationale helps them to track which decisions need to be revisited and which alternatives have already been evaluated. Unfortunately, architectural rationale is hardly ever documented for existing legacy systems. Is there any chance we can recover the architecture’s rationale for a poorly documented legacy systems written in procedural languages such as Cobol?

Architecture Recovery
The architecture rationale is hardly ever documented for legacy systems. This paper presents a model for describing the Architecture Recovery Process (ARP) and defines an outline of an Architectural Recovery Environment. The use of this model allows addressing the concerns with the task of recovering past decisions of architecture for existing

متن کاملRecovering Software Architectural Knowledge from Documentation using Conceptual Model
Software architectural knowledge (AK) is the integrated representation of the software architecture (SA) of a software-intensive system, the architectural design decisions, and the external context/environment. AK annotation using AK conceptual model is used to recover formal AK from SA documentation, including architecture design as well as the design decisions, rationale, context, and other f...
متن کاملEsthetics in the edentulous: clinical steps for recovering of maxillary anterior teeth harmony.
Smile designing for edentulous patients has not been much investigated; the selection of artificial teeth is a task that follows multiple consequential steps such as choosing their form, size, material, color and disposition. Even if smile designing is thought to involve some artistic abilities, specific techniques or suggestions have been proposed in the literature to perform each step of the ...
متن کاملBasics of rate design — pricing principles and self - selecting two-part tariffs
This overview of the basics of rate design in network industries should be read in conjunction with Mark Jamison’s, 1997, more comprehensive write-up on rate structure. After describing some of the key concepts, we will examine in some detail the rationale behind rate structures that can reflect incremental costs, while still facilitating the recovery of fixed (often joint or common) costs. In ...
