Migration of Existing or Legacy Software Systems into Web Service-based Architectures (Reengineering Process): A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

In this study, the techniques of migrating legacy software systems into web service-based architecture has been discussed. This procedure is carried out based on the fact that software and business companies want to migrate along with previous systems, to a more recent technology, which are of higher benefit to both businesses and their client. With the above issue in mind, this study executed a systematic literature review to look into the various techniques that were existing in published literatures or articles and come up with a comprehensive summary that highlighted their strength and weaknesses for future improvement.

Software Migration Frameworks for Software System Solutions: A Systematic Literature Review

“…In [50] the grouping of legacy software migration procedure performed which highlighted at least one advantage and disadvantage of each procedure in term of their benefits. Also it describe the way migration process should carried out to limit the bottlenecks, where wrapping the existing system source code directly to generate web services.…”

“…Different types of software migration described by different researches like Migration of Legacy Software Systems into Web Service-based Architectures [50], SOA migration [51], Cloud Migration Research [54], a comparative evaluation of cloud migration optimization approaches [52], Exploring the factors influencing the cloud computing adoption [53] [65] and EA2S2: An Efficient Application-Aware Storage System for Big Data Processing in Heterogeneous Clusters [66].…”
