Migrate Forte/UDS code to target platform, through automated tools

Refactor translated code, if applicable

Develop new features/enhance functionality in the target platform, if required

Perform unit, system, integration and performance testing

Develop deployment and packaging models
User acceptance testing (UAT) of migrated application
Resolve any issues found in UAT phase
Deploy the migrated application to production environment
Support and maintain the migrated application in production environment
