Reengineering a Legacy Tool for Software Evolution

This paper describes how a commercial legacy tool originally developed for a centralized computing environment has been reengineered for a heterogeneous distributed computing environment which allows the tool to be accessed remotely. In addition, we discuss how the tool was further enhanced to componentize customers' business applications in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment
