USE CASE: REQUIREMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION

Reverse engineering legacy systems into requirements

Sanciti RGEN reverse-engineers legacy code and turns it into readable requirements, business rules, use cases and test cases. On an automotive mainframe project, RGEN extracted requirements from the COBOL codebase 60% faster than manual analysis.

Why legacy systems need reverse engineering

Most legacy applications do far more than their documentation says. The rules that actually run the business are in the code, and the people who wrote it have often moved on.

Without a clear picture of what the system does today, every modernization estimate is a guess. Teams spend months in workshops and code reviews before a single line of new code gets written.

What Sanciti RGEN produces from legacy code

RGEN reads the code and related material, then writes documentation your analysts and architects can review.

1

Business rules and requirements

Plain-language requirements and business rules pulled from the code, with links back to the source.
2

Use cases and user stories

Structured use cases and stories ready for Jira.
3

Dependency and data flow maps

How modules, jobs, schemas and data flows connect.
4

Test cases

Test cases based on the current behavior, so the new system can be checked against the old one.

FAQS

It is the process of working out what an existing application does, including its business rules, data flows and dependencies, directly from its code.

In client projects RGEN has analyzed COBOL, DB2 and JCL, Java and Java Struts, stored procedures and legacy ETL workflows.

Yes. RGEN combines code with regulatory documents, meeting transcripts and stakeholder notes.

The requirements feed LEGMOD for wave planning, CodeGen for new code and TestAI for tests, so the whole migration stays traceable.
