Application Reengineering

Reverse engineering provides a new approach. If there is no system documentation for a system, reverse engineering the system can produce a reconstructed design that captures the functionality of the system. The design is represented at an abstraction level that removes implementation language dependencies.

As a result, it is possible to re-implement the system in a new language. In addition, the reconstructed design can be transformed to modernize it, restructure it, incorporate new requirements, etc. Thus re-engineering based on a reverse engineering process offers many of the advantages of the redesign and re-implement approach. This approach is always feasible if the source code for a legacy system exists.
