Business Rule Extraction TechnologyNetron, Inc. "Accelerating e-Business Through Legacy Renewal" Netron has a powerful rule extraction tool called HotRod. Using patent-pending algorithms to fingerprint COBOL code, it sifts through about 4,000,000 lines per hour, identifying all business rule candidates along with their defacto input, output, and temporary variables. Additionally, it will (at a somewhat slower rate) classify all of your COBOL paragraphs and sections into clusters of similar functionality. Given that most systems grow by copying and modifying existing code, HotRod, together with their forward engineering tool, Netron Fusion, offers the powerful potential to collapse unnecessary complexity that creeps into large legacy systems over time. Netron also has the capacity to "componentize" business rules by extracting Cobol subroutines or XML, wrapping those routines and exporting these components into the Fusion environment.
