Webinar Announcement: "How to Visualize the Specifications of Black-Boxed Legacy Open Systems"

■ The Serious Problems Faced by "Legacy Open Systems" with No Person in Charge and No Specifications
Currently, many companies are plagued by the black-boxing of legacy open systems (VB6, VB.NET, old Java, Delphi, etc.). Due to years of modifications and operations without updated documentation, and the retirement of personnel in charge, a situation has arisen where "no one understands the complete picture."

As a result:
- Delays in identifying causes when system failures occur
- High risk during modifications due to unpredictable impact ranges
- Ambiguous estimation of man-hours, stalling project progress
- Inability to make future migration decisions

These issues impact business continuity. What is needed is to correctly decipher the source code and visualize (document) the current specifications.

■ The Reality: Reverse Engineering Alone is Not Enough
Reverse engineering is an important technology for understanding system structures and dependencies. However, many companies experience a situation where "it ends with just seeing things" due to the following challenges:

- The obtained information is fragmented and difficult to use as design documents
- The granularity is not suitable for modification decisions or impact range analysis
- Deep understanding of language-specific characteristics (VB6, Delphi, etc.) is required
- It is unrealistic to manually document massive amounts of code

In other words, the real wall lies in organizing the visualized information into "usable design documents."

■ Automatically Generating "Usable Design Documents" from Source Code to Accurately Visualize Structures
In this seminar, we will introduce a method to automatically generate detailed design-level documents from source code using our proprietary reverse engine, accurately visualizing system structures and dependencies.
This is expected to yield the following effects:

- Easy understanding of the impact range
- Easy comprehension of relationships between modules, screens, and data
- Elimination of person-dependency, improving maintenance efficiency
- Clear basis for future migration/modification decisions

Currently, we are offering a free trial to create several sample design documents from your source code. We will guide you through the procedure during the seminar.

■ Future Feature: Summarizing Visualization Results with AI to Higher-Level Designs
While this seminar will focus on the "currently provided visualization features," we plan to implement a summarization feature using AI in the future.
This is expected to enable the automatic generation of higher-level documents from detailed design-level documents, such as:

- Summarization to the basic design level
- Abstraction to the requirement definition level

*The AI summarization feature is currently under development. This seminar will only introduce the implementation policy and roadmap.

■ Recommended for the following people:
- Those who want to visualize legacy open systems such as VB / Java / Delphi / C#
- Those who want to grasp the current specifications due to the retirement of personnel in charge or inadequate handovers
