Inventory the features a replacement must reproduce

Inventory the components your application depends on. Keep prompts, evaluation cases, and source data in portable formats where practical. Write down provider-specific features that a replacement must reproduce or that you can remove.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Test a replacement before migration.
