Hi Chris,

As i understand ,Legacy Systems Consume High Percentage of Corporate Resources,organization's business policies, processes,
and procedures are often maintained there and it is incomprehensible that these systems can simply be abandoned when a new
system is envisioned. In that context this title assumes significant importance .

In one of our earlier attempt to reverse engineer an application was a great disaster but we learnt a greet deal in that process.

My understanding is ,when we say reveres engineering ,the underlying assumption is this is coupled with a forward engineering phase
as well ,What is your thought on that and do you discuss about that in your book?

Thanks
Sundar

In addition to that,Broadly at high level

The reverse engineering phase focuses on capturing the application architecture, features, design and structure in a series of design
Models In order to identify clearly features and allow the legacy code to be easily modified without the risk and cost normally associated
With making changes to legacy code.
What are the intricacies of Re-engineering per se?
