Advint's Chameleon code transformer has been selected by United States Air Force (USAF) Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) for use in migrating legacy Test Program source code from obsolete testers to its new test system. The first application of this process is the conversion of B-1B Intermediate Automatic Test Equipment (IATE) ATLAS to IEEE-ATLAS-716 1989 to run on Teradyne's Spectrum 9100 automatic test system. Chameleon preserves existing software investment via code transformation to modern programming environments. The tool employs XML based models. Language models for legacy and target programming dialects are created via parsing of existing source code. Transformation models are developed to define the inter-relationship between old and new languages upon which the code conversion is based.
Chameleon facilitates quick and cost effective TPS re-host. It provides multi-dialect code conversion with a single tool. Chameleon also ensures traceability between legacy and new target code. The tool's open architecture approach allows update and customization by the end user as needs arise. It also increases the conversion quality via systematic defined transformation process. Formatted output can be generated in customer specific formats to facilitate readability/maintainability in accordance with style guide requirements. In addition, Chameleon can also generate TPS metrics reports and standard documentation (e.g., ATE Asset Utilization report, Test Requirements Document (TRD), etc.)
