Extracting Objects from Legacy Imperative Code

R. R. Sward, Thomas C. Hartrum

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for extracting objects from legacy imperative code. The parameter-based object identification (PBOI) methodology is based on the thesis that object attributes manifest themselves as data items passed from subprogram to subprogram in the imperative paradigm. A taxonomy of imperative subprograms is presented and the PBOI methodology is defined. Several examples are provided.
