Design Recovery

The X-Analysis Design Recovery solution set addresses the requirement of isolating, indexing, and

documenting the design elements of a legacy application that are relevant in a modern version of the

application being assessed. Before doing this, let’s see how the X-Analysis helps in analyzing a

monolithic legacy application by breaking it down into different sub areas for ease of working.

Application Area Diagrams

One can easily sub divide an application into business areas or application areas using

the X-Analysis. User can further split the application areas into sub application areas for better

application analysis (we shall do this latter in the tutorial). For the ease of analyzing an application/

application area, the X-Analysis provides another diagrammatic construct called ‘Application Area

Diagram’.

The ‘Application Area Diagram’ helps in visualizing the relationships between various applications

areas. The 'Application Area Diagram' option when opted for entire cross-reference library then it

displays all ‘Application Areas’ and ‘Sub-Application Areas’.

Application Area Diagram on complete cross-reference

The bluish grey blocks represent an application area. The size of the box is indicative of number of

objects it contains. A larger box has more objects as compared to a smaller box.
