Abstract
Software is a critical issue nowadays. The selection and design suitable technique/process/method for maintenance phase for the same, we required suitable reengineering tool and technique, extractor one of the most important component of reengineering tool, for design appropriate extractor, we survey the several extractors, which read the source code find out the architecture of code and design level problems and remove the problems make a new update architecture diagram. We studied several extractors and not found any suitable tool for achieve completeness architecture recovery. In this paper, we tried to survey available extractor to find their merits and demerits. The requirement set is proposed for the constructing the new extractor those who take the merits of existing extractor and some required based on our study.
