Scenario

U-Plus Bank wants to upgrade its Account Management application by moving from the traditional UI to the newer Constellation UI. This migration will help the bank improve its business operations by using the latest Pega features.

Before beginning the migration project, stakeholders have requested an estimate of the required effort. To provide an accurate estimate, the team needs to:

• Thoroughly understand the current application to identify and address potential issues early.
• Use the Constellation Modernization Assistant Component to:
  • Analyze the existing application.
  • Identify Rules that need adjustment.
  • Ensure alignment with Constellation best practices.
• Review the analysis results to estimate the total migration effort.

This proactive approach will help reduce the likelihood of bugs appearing during testing.
