Abstract

We demonstrate REFINE Language Tools, a family of interactive, extensible software evaluation and reengineering tools. We also demonstrate applications of REFINE Language Tools to software quality assurance. These applications were built using Software Refinery and the REFINE Language Tools´ application programmer´s interface. REFINE Language Tools provide functionality for evaluating and reengineering code in Ada, C, COBOL and FORTRAN. Each REFINE Language Tool has an extensive application programmer´s interface (API) for building customizations. REFINE Language Tools use an intuitive X Window System-based graphical user interface
