Extract and document your business rules

Module: X-Rules

Through proprietary static analysis algorithms, X-Rules automatically extracts, cross-references and stores business rules implemented in your applications.

Building a repository of business rules saves valuable time and money in reengineering and rewrite projects, package replacement projects and ongoing legacy maintenance activities as well:

  • Facilitates analysis and portability of business logic
  • Makes business logic more accessible to end users and business analysts
  • Lowers the cost of developing and modifying business logic
  • Facilitates reuse of proven logic
  • Externalizes rules so they can be shared by multiple applications
  • Improves architecture by further separating UI, database, and business logic layers

The single most cost-effective and accurate source of business requirements is always your legacy application.
