The reverse engineering into CASE technology (RECAST) method takes the source code for an existing common business-oriented language (COBOL) system and derives a no-loss representation of the system documented in a structured systems analysis and design method (SSADM) format. This representation of the system is derived through the use of a series of transformations. The environment within which RECAST has been developed is described, the stages and steps of the RECAST method are outlined, and the use of software support tools is discussed. An overview is given of a case study that has been carried out for a live system
