# Contributing to Eclipse MoDisco

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 »
