TransformPlus for Reverse Engineering Legacy Apps

TCS - MasterCraft

Intelligent automation product that analyzes the code to plan, strategize and execute modernization

TCS MasterCraft™ TransformPlus is a patented, cognitive code analysis and intelligent product that enables modernization of legacy applications by deciphering their functional and technical aspects.

TransformPlus analyzes the application’s static code, offers a blueprint view of the application, extracts the business rules and transactional flows into a central repository and represents the analyzed data points graphically. TransformPlus deciphers the legacy systems and enables enterprises to modernize them by:

Creating a central knowledge repository with all the details of the application, extracted from the source code
Analyzing the static code and providing complete insights about the application components and their complexity, program and transactional flows
Extracting application knowledge, such as business rules and functional details, from the source code using automation
Documenting the extracted technical details automatically from the source code into a formal language format

Key Capabilities:

360 Degree Insights: Deep dives into legacy applications, explores them and helps users understand the complexity and hidden values in the code
Extensive Knowledge Management: Identifies the entry points to the application to track the transactional flow from each entry point
Enriched Visual Representation: Graphically represents conditions and operations of transactional flows in the application to depict the internal logic within each application module
Business Rule Extraction: Extracts business rules/requirements from the applications and converts the source code into a formal language to facilitate application modernization
Comprehensive Documentation: Creates technical documentation for the applications by auto-translating and auto-populating technical details extracted from the application code to formal language format, using a translation engine

Benefits:

Continuous Engagement: Enables continuous engagement with users during and after the application modernization process
Multiple Technology Support: Supports COBOL, RPG, Java, Visual Basic and others on different platforms such as Mainframe, AS400, Open System etc.
Evolving Knowledge Repository: Provides built-in parsers evolved over the years by working with multiple applications, which built the knowledge repository, irrespective of the application size
Customized Reports: Allows users to provide metadata for the captured information, making the reports more personalized and useful
Enhanced Productivity: Enables users to understand and modernize their legacy applications with an improved productivity rate of about 30%
