PACKRAT: A Software Reengineering Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reengineering is the process of examination, understanding, and alteration of a system with the intent of implementing the system in a new form. Many approaches for design recovery or reverse engineering have been suggested, most with some type of support tool. Since a project’s time constraints may prohibit use of sophisticated techniques and/or tools due to the learning curves associated with the techniques and tools, methods that can be applied in lieu of complex support tools may be required. This paper describes a case study project involving the reengineering of a network application used by Texas Instruments to monitor network traffic in a local area network.

Metric Based Approach to Find Maintenance, Reengineering and Retirement Need of Software with a Case Study
–A significant collection of software assets are used in all high-tech organizations and software business. Today, the major concern is with the maintenance and reuse of software which can be further invested in such a manner that its value may increase with passage of time but not like accountability whose value diminishes with the time. It has been an issue of forceful debate and keen interes...
متن کاملUsing Reengineering Techniques for Distance Study Course Improvement
The paper analyses the reengineering concept as it comes from software engineering and management fields. We combine two viewpoints and apply them to solve a problem of reengineering of a distance study system, in general, and the unit of learning, in particular. We propose a framework for reengineering of unit of learning, based on general model of software reengineering, and present a case st...
