    • Set up indicators to measure the usability, cost, quality, performance, and risk of applications. Evaluate and score your business applications based on qualitative inputs. You can translate abstract information of applications based on surveys and assessments into more tangible concrete metrics. These assessments help you make strategic decisions on whether to replace or upgrade applications.

    You can use existing assessment metric types or configure them per your requirements.

    Application assessment in Enterprise Architecture evaluates business applications using measurable criteria to produce application scores. These scores help portfolio managers and architects compare applications, identify risks, and prioritize investment or retirement decisions.

    The application assessment framework consists of three key components that work together:
    • Assessment indicators define individual evaluation criteria, such as cost, risk, quality, or usability.
    • Scoring profiles group multiple indicators and define how they are weighted for a specific assessment context.
    • Application scores are calculated results that reflect how well an application performs against the selected scoring profile.
