Axivion Bauhaus Suite - Success Story

Insourcing

Project: Insourcing of Mission-Critical Software
Size: 1 MLOC C++

The customer wanted to assess whether a mission-critical software that had been outsourced could be insourced and thus maintained and evolved in-house.

With the Axivion Bauhaus Suite, the intended and specified architecture of the outsourced system was checked against the implemented source code. That way, portions of the code that did not obey to the architecture could be identified. The number and severity of discrepancies served as an indication of how much effort would be needed to be able to continue the development and maintenance in-house. The overall result of the architectural checking made a solid base for the decision process.

The key point that qualified the Axivion Bauhaus Suite for the project was the way in which architectures can be specified freely according to customers need.
