Abstract
Software evolution is the process of adapting an existing software system to conform to an enhanced set of requirements. Software reengineering is software evolution performed in systematic way. Especially software system is fundamentally different from developing one from scratch. Consequently, tools to support evolution must go beyond forward engineering tools. This paper presents a reengineering method and tools for software evolution or modernization. The paper briefly describes MARMI-RE methodology before presenting the individual tools and how they interoperate to support legacy system modernization. We expect that our proposed methodology can be used flexibly because it presents various scenarios of migration process.
