AEM™ Task 3. Flowcharting

We automatically flowchart each program in MS Office Visio. The flowcharts account for every line of code in the application. Each flowchart symbol is hyper-linked to the corresponding source code in the repository.

Flowcharts provide a convenient way to view and understand program logic. Flow of control, depth of nesting and complexity of decision-making are all apparent from reviewing the flowcharts.

We also use the information gathered during this task to generate Application Overview Maps. These diagrams depict the major relationships among application components, showing the business function, user interface components, and data files associated with each individual program. This provides a powerful way to review and assess the primary application artifacts related to each program.

Flowcharting Output:

• A detailed flowchart of each program in the application.
• Overview maps of the entire legacy application.
