    Abstract:

    Migrating from monolithic systems to microservice systems is one of the mainstream options for the industry to realize the reengineering of legacy systems, and microservice architecture refactoring based on monolithic legacy systems is the key to realizing migration. Currently, academia mainly focuses on the research on microservice identification methods, and there are many industry practices of legacy systems refactored into microservices. However, systematic approaches and efficient and robust tools are insufficient. Therefore, based on earlier research on microservices identification and model-driven development method, this study presents MSA-Lab, an integrated design platform for microservice refactoring of monolithic legacy systems based on the model-driven development approach. MSA-Lab analyzes the method call sequence in the running log of the monolithic legacy system, identifies and clusters classes and data tables for constructing abstract microservices, and generates a system architecture design model including the microservice diagram and microservice sequence diagram. The model has two core components: MSA-Generator for automatic microservice identification and design model generation and MSA-Modeller for visualization, interactive modeling, and model syntax constraint checking of microservice static structure and dynamic behavior models. This study conducts experiments in the MSA-Lab platform for effectiveness, robustness, and function transformation completeness on four open-source projects and carries out performance comparison experiments with three same-type tools. The results show that the platform has excellent effectiveness and robustness, function transform completeness for running logs, and superior performance.
