Technical feasibility exploration for service-oriented architecture environments

A method for performing a technical feasibility exploration for a service-oriented architecture, comprising:

• producing computer executable program code;
• storing the code on a computer readable medium;
• and
• providing the program code to be deployed and executed on a computer system, the program code comprising instructions which, when executed on the computer system, cause the computer system to:
• identify a challenge associated with enabling a service-oriented architecture service;
• identify and analyze an impact of the challenge;
• identify a potential solution of the identified challenge as a function of the analyzing the impact;
• analyze the potential solution to determine if a new challenge associated with enabling a service-oriented architecture service arises as a function of the potential solution;
• if the analyzing the potential solution determines that the new challenge arises, repeat the challenge identifying, the impact of the challenge identifying and analyzing, the potential solution identifying and the analyzing the potential solution to determine if a new challenge arises;
• and
• if the analyzing the potential solution determines that a new challenge does not arise, use the potential solution as an input during an implementation phase.

A programmable device comprising:

• a processing means;
• a memory in communication with the processing means comprising a logic component;
• and
• a network interface in communication with the processing means and the memory;
• wherein the processing means is configured to:
• identify a challenge associated with enabling a service-oriented architecture service;
• identify and analyze an impact of the challenge;
• identify a potential solution of the identified challenge as a function of the analyzing the impact;
• analyze the potential solution to determine if a new challenge associated with enabling a service-oriented architecture service arises as a function of the potential solution;
• if the analyzing the potential solution determines that the new challenge arises, repeat the challenge identifying, the impact of the challenge identifying and analyzing, the potential solution identifying and the analyzing the potential solution to determine if a new challenge arises;
• and
• if the analyzing the potential solution determines that a new challenge does not arise, use the potential solution as an input during an implementation phase.
