Thanks for your interest in this project. | |
## Project description | |
Eclipse MoDisco provides an extensible framework to elaborate on model-driven | |
solutions supporting software reverse engineering and modernization use cases | |
such as technical migration, software improvement, documentation generation, | |
quality insurance, etc. Legacy systems embrace a large number of technologies, | |
making the development of tools to cope with legacy systems evolution a tedious | |
and time consuming task. As modernization projects face with both technologies | |
combination and various modernization situations, model-driven approaches and | |
tools offer the requisite abstraction level to build up mature and flexible | |
modernization solutions. Quality Assurance: verifying whether an existing system | |
meets the required qualities (detection of anti-patterns in existing code and | |
computation of metrics.) Documentation: extraction of information from an | |
existing system to help understanding one aspect of this system (structure, | |
behaviour, persistence, data-flow, change impact , etc). Improvement: | |
transformation of an existing system to integrate better coding norms or design | |
patterns. Migration: transformation of an existing system to change a component, | |
the framework, the language, or its architecture more about MoDisco ยป | |
