Abstract :
An environment is described which supports the reengineering cycle at the design level and provides a homogeneous software configuration for the maintenance process. The environment is based on an integration tool which takes the output from a static analyzer, used for reverse engineering and populates the repository of a computer-aided-software-engineering (CASE) tool, usually used in forward engineering. The integration allows enhancement of the knowledge of the program, the reliability of modifications, the reusability and the change management. A case study is shown in which the design of a sample program is recaptured from the source code
