Renaissance: a Method for System Evolution

  • Chapter
The Renaissance of Legacy Systems

Part of the book series: Practitioner Series ((PRACT.SER.))

Abstract

Engineers have developed several techniques, based on software engineering, for practising software evolution. However, software evolution has yet to reach its full potential because, to a large extent, these techniques are not integrated. While technologies such as “reengineering”, the “evolutionary” paradigm, and “reverse engineering” make significant contributions to the field, they are difficult to use together in an effective way.
