We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the existing Flash-based calculator, documenting its functionalities, inputs, outputs, and user interactions. This analysis guided our planning for the migration process and the selection of an appropriate JavaScript framework.

2. Design and Architecture

Based on the requirements and desired functionalities, we designed a new user interface (UI) for the calculator to ensure a visually appealing and intuitive experience. We defined the architecture and data flow, ensuring compatibility with the chosen JavaScript framework.

3. Data Migration and Validation

We extracted the necessary data from the Flash-based calculator and converted it into a format compatible with JavaScript. Rigorous validation processes were implemented to ensure accuracy and consistency in the migrated data.

4. JavaScript Development

Leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, our team recreated the unique functionalities of the original calculator. We optimized the codebase for improved performance and maintainability, adhering to industry best practices and coding standards.

5. User Interface (UI) Enhancement

While preserving the calculator's existing user-friendly interface, we incorporated modern design elements to ensure responsiveness and cross-browser compatibility. The new UI maintained familiarity for existing users while offering an upgraded visual experience.

6. Testing and Quality Assurance

We conducted extensive testing to verify the accuracy, functionality, and compatibility of the calculator across different web browsers and devices. Rigorous quality assurance procedures were implemented to identify and rectify any issues or inconsistencies.
