Abstract :
The Department of Defense is funding a number of substantial efforts to reduce the number of older legacy test stations and replacing them with standard more modern test systems. This will require a re-host of several hundred Units Under Test (UUTs) to the newer test systems. Several million lines of legacy source code will require analysis, while several million lines of new source code will be generated. Software tools can provide an automated means to analyze legacy code and to translate it to the target source code
