Facts Extraction
Program-Transformation.Org: The Program Transformation Wiki
FactsExtraction is the first step of a
ReverseEngineering or
ReEngineering effort. An extractor (a.k.a. parser or analyzer) processes the
LegacySystem's artifacts to extract useful information (a.k.a. facts).
There are many different approaches (please update/expand):
- lexical analysis
- parsing
- hybrid
Fact extractors by programming languages:
FactsExtraction is a surprisingly hard problem with many different approaches each having their own trade-offs.
ExtractorBenchmarks are an empirical method to assess the performance and characteristics of an extractor.
