Term reengineering refers to improve the quality of the system. Continues maintenance and aging degrade the performance of the software system. Right approach and methodology must be adapted to perform reengineering. With lack of right approach and methodology, reengineering itself will be costly and time-consuming. For the process of reengineering main concerns include when to reengineer, how to estimate cost, the right approach for reengineering, and how to validate software enhancement. This research paper proposed a framework to identify the need for reengineering, to estimate the cost of reengineering, and to validate software quality improvement. Research work used the agile methodology to perform tasks of reengineering. Reengineering needs are identified using prediction based decision tree approach. Reengineering is applied using the agile Scrum methodology. Cost estimation is done using story point estimation. Performance analyses are done using complexity measures analysis of the internal design metrics and mean time to execute metric. The research used various automated tools like CKJM ver1.9, Rapid Miner studio ver7.1, and Net beans7.3 framework.

“…In the second phase, the code bases were swapped and asked to do the second reengineering assignments following the methodology. In the second case study, the eight teams were asked to learn and use the Rational Unified Process (RUP) [4] and Agile Unified Methodology (AUM) [16] for the first assignment. Then, teams used the methodology for the second assignment after swapping the code bases.…”

“…RELATED WORK There are very few studies performed on reengineering processes and methodology even though several plan-based and agile forward engineering processes and methodologies are currently used for reengineering activity. A frameworkbased agile reengineering process named PARFAIT using static structure of rational unified process (RUP) is described in [4], which explains how to rapidly provide an user with evolved versions of legacy system. [5] describes a segmentation reengineering process after recovering the analysis model from the procedural legacy C code and then partially transforming it to an object-oriented java code using design patterns.…”

Software maintenance is an important phase in the software development life cycle. More than 75% of maintenance efforts are enhancement. Currently, most enhancement projects are carried out in an ad hoc manner, depending on the knowledge and experience of the developers. Software reengineering aims to provide an engineering approach for software enhancements. In this paper, we present an agile reengineering methodology for object-oriented software. The methodology has a quick planning phase followed by a series of iterative reengineering phases. Each iteration consists of three legs: the reverse engineering leg, the reincarnation leg, and the validation leg. Academic and industry experiments show promising results.

“…The motivation to create the GREN-WizardVersionControl tool became evident after two reengineering case studies: the first for a library legacy system (Cagnin et al, 2003a;Chan et al, 2003), and the second for a electronic appliances repair shop legacy system (Cagnin et al, 2003b), both developed in Clipper. The reengineering of these systems was done with the support of the PARFAIT 1 agile reengineering process (Cagnin et al, 2003b).…”

Framework based application development is increasingly being adopted by software organizations. Frameworks provide reuse of both software design and code, and supply more trustable applications, as the components used to implement them have been previously tested. However, version control is more problematic than in conventional software development, as it is necessary to control both the framework versions and the versions of the applications created with it. Furthermore, aiming to minimize the impact of system requirement changes, framework based software development and reengineering processes adopt the incremental approach, which is a “must” in agile methodologies. This approach makes easier to fulfill requests for system requirements change at any time during the process application. In that context, there is a lack of tools that support version control of applications created with frameworks. This paper presents a tool that aims to aid in the fulfillment of that need, contributing to quality assurance of the products that result from software development or reengineering.
