Constructing Application Landscape Metrics: Why & How
نویسندگان
چکیده
The report presents metrics as an approach for supporting the management of an application landscape by quantifying specific structural aspects. It derives basic guidelines for the construction of such metrics from a comparison of current application landscape metrics to metrics in software engineering and business administration. Thereby, it puts a special emphasis on integrating the metrics into methodologies for addressing concerns relevant to application landscape management. The report exemplifies these guidelines by describing application landscape metrics for testability aspects, together with a viewpoint for visualizing and a methodology for using the metrics.

متن کاملAssessing landscape change of Minab delta morphs before and after dam construction
As special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. Geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. Constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. Minab delta in Hormozgan Province of Iran is a round or crescent-s...
متن کاملApplication Landscape Metrics: Overview, Classification, and Practical Usage
Due to mergers and acquisitions as well as uncoordinated projects, application landscapes of today’s organizations contain redundant applications (two or more applications that have similar functionality). To consolidate the application landscape, comparisons of applications have to be performed. Application landscape metrics are seen as an appropriate instrument for such comparisons. This cont...
