A Critical Review on Service Oriented Architecture and its Maintainability

Over the last decade, migration methodologies from Legacy to SOA design have been broadly explored. Language migration, database migration, and platform migration were the primary issues with legacy systems. Legacy systems are a time-consuming and costly process for maintaining application and programming source code. It is difficult to change a single module of the software system without affecting other modules. SOA, on the other hand, enables organizations to manage business processes, business rules, enterprise content management, and management security. In this study A survey is carried out on the SOA maintainability challenges namely Analyzability, Changeability, Stability and Testability.
