In this paper we present MANTOOL, an automatic tool for managing the software maintenance process according to MANTEMA, a rigorous methodology for maintenance. After explaining briefly the MANTEMA structure, the article explains how MANTOOL allows users to manage modification requests following the different stages of the methodology, showing it with some examples. The data saved in MANTOOL can be used to extract different kinds of reports and to do estimations of future maintenance interventions. The paper also includes some experience reports about the construction and application of MANTEMA and MANTOOL, and some reflections on the benefits of its use.

Maintenance of legacy systems is a challenging task. Often, only the source code is still available, while design or requirements documents have been lost or have not been kept up‐to‐date with the actual implementation. In particular, this applies to many business applications which are run on a mainframe computer and are written in COBOL. Many companies are confronted with the difficult task of migrating these systems to a client/server architecture with clients running on PCs and servers running on the mainframe. REforDI (REengineering for DIstribution) is a graph‐based environment supporting this task. REforDI provides integrated code analysis, re‐design, and code transformation for COBOL applications. To prepare the application for distribution, REforDI assists in the transition to an object‐based architecture, according to which the source code is subsequently transformed into Object COBOL. Internally, REforDI makes heavy use of generators to reduce the implementation effort and thus to enhance adaptability. In particular, graph‐based tools for re‐engineering are generated from a formal specification which is based on programmed graph transformations. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
