META-TOOLS FOR AUTOMATING SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

…and we provide training and consulting in their use.

What is XTRAN?

XTRAN is a software meta-tool we have developed that marries compiler and expert system technologies to provide the automation of software engineering tasks involving a wide variety of computer languages, using a rules language that can be learned by any senior software engineer.

XTRAN has the ability to automate, through the creation of rules, virtually any software engineering task to the greatest possible extent:

Code analysis — including both ad hoc and production, from simple to very complex
Code re-engineering — applying transformations to existing code, from simple to very complex
Code translation — including assemblers to higher languages and many other language combinations
Code generation — such as compilation
Text processing — including the use of delimited lists and regular expressions

This includes automating every aspect of every software engineering project and process, including major undertakings such as legacy modernization and forensic analysis. We back up this claim with many XTRAN examples.
