3. AN APPLICATION RECONFIGURATION FRAMEWORK 3.1. Architectural Requirements 3.1 Architectural Requirements Before approaching the proposal of a framework for the automatic application configuration, the tool requirements must be identified. This section presents the functionalities which the tool is expected to provide, in the form of use cases. A use case defines a goal-oriented set of interactions between external actors and the tool. Following is a list of functional and non- functional requirements: 1. The user must be able to convert a configuration file syntax from its original syntax to a generic one, independently of the application. Description: The user must be able to try parsing the configuration file with the available parsers. Non-functional requirements: Performance: The generated file with the generic syntax must be as simple as possible. 2. The user must be able to define grammars for configuration file languages. Description: If there are no suitable parsers for a given configuration file, the user must be able to define a grammar that recognizes the new configuration file language. Non-functional requirements: Usability: The grammar definition syntax should be a broadly adopted one. Usability: To ease the parser generation process, the user must be able to iterate through the previously built grammars so as to rollback any change made on a grammar. 3. The user must be able to produce a parser from a grammar. Description: When the user builds a grammar for a new configuration file language, there must be a means to compile that grammar in order to generate a parser. Non-functional requirements: Usability: The user must be able to add parsers built outside the tool. 4. The user must have access to the parser compilation trace. Description: When a grammar is compiled, the user should be able to check on the parser compilation trace to see if it was successfully compiled or whether any error persists in the grammar declaration. 22
3. AN APPLICATION RECONFIGURATION FRAMEWORK 3.1. Architectural Requirements Non-functional requirements: Usability: The error messages must clearly identify the source of the error. 5. The user must receive information relative to the grammar fitness with a given configuration file. Description: When the user attempts at parsing a configuration file with a given parser, he/she must be informed if the parsing was successful or not, as well as the quantity of file recognized by that parser. Non-functional requirements: Usability: The sections of the configuration file that were parsed and those that were not must be clearly identified. 6. The user must be able to store a functional parser generated by the tool, in order to be used on later tool runs. Description: When the user checks a new parser to parse a configuration file entirely, he/she must be able to store it in a repository so it can be reused. Non-functional requirements: Security: The user must be able to see the parsing outcome in order to check if the parser is indeed operating as intended to. 7. The user must be able to reconvert a configuration file syntax from generic syntax to the original one. Description: Given a configuration file in generic syntax, the user must be able to convert it into its original syntax, keeping its functionality unharmed. 8. File conversion must not eliminate comments. Description: On the original to generic syntax conversion, the comments should be stored in order to show up in the final file. 9. The user must be able to halt the tool execution at some point and continue the configuration process later. Description: In the middle of the configuration process (i.e., right after the original to generic syntax conversion), the administrator should be able to halt the execution flow, have the necessary data stored, such as the file in the generic syntax or the tentative 23
