Bachelor’s thesis #

“Design and development of a legacy software modernisation analysis tool”

The project was a consultancy engagement for a large German industrial company. It needed suitable strategies for legacy applications on a mainframe: continue running them or switch them off? I designed a rapid assessment that used as little data as possible to reach a decision and communicate it to the client, including the reasoning behind it.
