Abstract

By using several reverse engineering tools and techniques, it is possible to extract business rules from legacy source code that are easy to understand by the non-IT experts. To make this information usable to business analysts, it is necessary to connect the artifacts extracted to existing documents. In this paper, we present how we use source code analysis and keyphrase extraction techniques to connect legacy code, business rules and documentation.
