“…We have developed a tool to generate this functional flow as a control flow graph and depict the same in graphviz [30] with .DOT format. We have also extracted the thread model, using one of our tools [24], where we discover concurrency related design choices like thread work breakdown structure, global variable management, starvation and live-lock probability from multi-thread native programs. The extracted golden data [34] -the input and output data is fed as unit test data.…”

“…Hence additional support is required to understand the design of the application in such cases. We attempt to mine concurrency models from multi-threaded applications based on the PIN 3 instrumentation framework in [24], which we integrate with the proposed framework in this paper.…”

“…-Understanding the concurrency behaviour of the legacy application is important for migration specialists to design the target application. We use one of our implemented analysers D-Cube to discover design models from applications based on runtime traces in [24]. In D-Cube we trace every routine like thread creation, communication, data variables used in message passing, thread exit sequence, synchronization functions, signalling functions.…”

Many organizations rely on legacy applications for critical business pro- cesses, even though it incurs a huge cost due to obsolete hardware, software, compiler and the like. Replacing the business critical legacy requires extensive expertise to understand business requirements, esti- mate and test coupled with high cost. To ensure a strict cost budget of legacy migration projects, migration specialists need assistance to understand the facts of the legacy application component in a short span of time to estimate and deliver the target components. Avail- able program assistance tools do not address the needs to migrate the legacy applications. We have designed an effective framework to extract the run-time behaviour of the legacy application like function point, complexity, memory accesses and the like so as to estimate the scope and requirements of an application. The framework contains support to comprehend existing legacy applications, develop and test the target application with business-rules, non-functional requirements (NFR), test data, etc. Then we have proposed a tool assisted Agile way-of-working principles by augmenting our tool-set to migrate the legacy application quickly and effciently. The target components can also be validated co- existentially by exchanging live data with the existing legacy. Designed toolset is built on an open-source dynamic instrumentation framework and can be plugged to a wide variety of run-time environments.
