Semantic Designs DMS SRT

Semantic Designs champions the view that software engineers typically maintain code, when a more valuable approach would be maintaining the design concepts, the implementation steps and the relation between the two that led to the creation of the code. The Design Maintenance System Software Reengineering Toolkit (DMS SRT) is capable of automating the capture, analysis and transformation of low-level specifications and implementation steps, focusing on the code and background implementation knowledge required for any particular project. As a tool created to support the Semantic Designs vision, the SRT is capable of automated document extraction, source code pretty-printing, test code coverage and metric extraction tools, as well as strong support for general automated reengineering up to and including application migrations This enables the impact of changes to the software to be predicted and accurately modelled prior to any alterations being made, and greatly reduces the risks of enterprise software projects. The SRT is supported by a rich and extensive list of languages and grammars, and is flexible enough to prove a valuable developer tool for modifying enterprise mainframe applications.
