Reverse Engineer Your Way to Modernized Code


Many software developers are tasked with completely refactoring legacy code into new code bases using modern paradigms. An effective approach can be Model-Driven Engineering. With this approach, the old code is reverse engineered so that its functionality and hierarchy are fully understood. From this point of understanding, a clear model is formed. Then, as Rick Leinecker explains, the new model is forward engineered using current techniques so that the final product is worthy of contemporary standards.
