Different software reengineering projects often perform similar reengineering tasks. This paper presents an industrial case study about an architecture recovery of a batch system using generic reengineering services. The case study is evaluated to identify key concerns for a generic approach.

Software architectures capture the most significant properties and design constraints of software systems. In our research work we intended to propose architecture for a reengineering tool. So, this paper will present a survey of techniques that have been proposed a comprehensive technique for design reengineering tool, here emphasize only how basic steps and architecture (extractor) for compre...

This paper provides a new approach for object-oriented reengineering. One of the difficulty in software testing and maintenance has been identified as caused by the convention that code and its tests are developed and described separately. This paper develops a method of built-in test (BIT) for OO reengineering. The advantage of this method is that the BITs in reengineered OO software (OOS) can...

This paper is an attempt to define what software reengineering is and what it has accomplished in the light of 20 years of practical application. The paper points out that reengineering is one of the many software maintenance activities, i.e. everything done with software once it has been put to use. Reengineering actions are devoted to improving the technical quality of existing software. By a...

Executives are experts in managing their business systems, much in the same way Formula One drivers are experts in driving their cars. However knowing the behaviour of cars doesn’t tell one how they are constructed and could be improved with new technology. The same holds true for Reengineering Business Systems through Information Technology. If management wishes to redefine the organisation, t...

ERP and other systems projects are now commonly preceded or accompanied by reengineering efforts. Traditional reengineering projects use a ‘clean sheet’ approach, in which companies attempt to design ideal processes without being bound to existing processes and constraints. When reengineering is associated with information technology (IT) implementation, the more common approach is known as ‘to...

Better understanding manual reverse engineering can make it and any associated systems reengineering more effective. We reverse engineered a version of a system (referred to as "BOS/X") in support of a broader reengineering effort. System reengineering goals and other circumstances dictated a focused, limited duration, manual reverse engineering exercise. This presented an opportunity to study ...

Zusammenfassung: Architekturen stellen prinzipiell ein mächtiges Mittel zur Unterstützung von Reengineering-Aktivitäten dar. In der Praxis scheitert dies allerdings häufig, da Architekturen nicht präzise definiert und sich insbesondere im völlig qualitätssicherungsfreien Raum befinden. In diesem Papier werden diejenigen qualitätssichernden Maßnahmen beschrieben, die VOR dem Einsatz von Architek...
