Abstract

We describe the experiences we have had in using ManSART - a software architecture recovery tool that we developed and are employing in the analysis of large scale legacy software systems. ManSART uses a battery of standard data flow, control flow, and program slicing capabilities to automatically recover architectural features from source code. This source code analysis is enabled by representations called analysis. Analysis modules describe the interfaces of each component in a multiple component system. ManSART uses these modules to focus source code analysis and to store the results.
