Abstract :
Software systems must continually evolve to meet ever changing needs. However, such systems often become legacy systems as a consequence of uncontrolled maintenance combined with obsolete technology. To control maintenance costs and preserve complex embedded business rules, companies must evolve their legacy systems. This article introduces technologies for software reengineering.
