How should a team select which COBOL modules to transform into Java first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Pick the modules where you know both the payoff and the dependencies—not the ones that are just convenient to start with. You want clear value and ready dependencies, not arbitrary choices.
Full Explanation
The correct choice is selecting services or modules where the modernization value is clear and their dependencies are well enough understood to be ready for transformation. This targets effort where it pays off and where the transformation is actually likely to succeed. Transforming every program in the estate in a single pass is incorrect because it multiplies risk and removes the ability to learn from early results. Starting with whichever modules happen to be smallest, regardless of business value or dependency state, is incorrect because size alone says nothing about business value or whether dependencies are understood. Transforming modules in alphabetical order of their program names is incorrect because alphabetical order is arbitrary and ignores both value and readiness. For the exam, tie module selection to value and dependency readiness together.
