Method and apparatus for assessing layered architecture principles compliance for business analytics in traditional and soa based environments

Abstract

Computer-implemented methods, computer program products and computer systems that assess business logic architecture compliance by defining an ideal business logic architecture hierarchy of a desired application, retrieving one or more applications from a data repository, breaking down these applications into a plurality of processes and analyzing the plurality of processes for common inter-application processes. Common inter-application processes are located and store in the middleware layer. The desired application is developed using the applications and common inter-application processes from the middleware layer to provide a resultant application, followed by determining an actual business logic hierarchal structure of the resultant application. This actual business logic hierarchal structure of the resultant application is compared against the ideal business logic architecture hierarchy to calculate compliance thereof, which in turn, reflects the maturity level of the developed resultant application.
