Abstract

There are many languages, tools, and design methodologies in the software community that are aimed at the creation of new software. But a lot of valuable software is the product of evolution, reuse, and reengineering. Some software is too expensive to "throw away and start over." A skilled software team will have an arsenal of techniques at their disposal for adapting, evolving, and refactoring existing code and designs. Adapting legacy software is a kind of recycling. If extending a legacy system is done well, it can help deliver business value sooner at a lower cost.
