RECAST: reverse engineering from COBOL to SSADM specification
Helen M. Edwards, Malcolm Munro · International Conference on Software Engineering · 1993
The reverse engineering into computer aided software engineering (CASE) technology method (RECAST) takes the source code for an existing COBOL system and derives a no-loss representation of the system documented in a structured systems analysis and design method (SSADM) format. This representation of the system is derived through the use of a series of transformations. The authors describe the environment within which RECAST has been developed, outline the stages and steps of the RECAST method and discuss the use of software support tools. An overview is given of a case study that has been carried out for a live system. >
