Advint's Chameleon code transformer has been selected by United States Air Force (USAF) Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) for use in migrating legacy Test Program source code from obsolete test systems to new testers such as Teradyne's Spectrum 9100 automatic test system. The Chameleon preserves existing software investment via code translation 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. Translation models are developed to define the inter-relationship between old and new languages upon which the code conversion is based.
The Chameleon facilitates quick and cost effective TPS re-host. It provides multi-dialect code conversion with a single tool which is key to the Air Force since the depot contains many different types of testers all using different programming languages. WR-ALC requires legacy languages to be modeled and converted to ANSI C using a single software translation environment. 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 translation process. Formatted output can be generated in customer specific formats to facilitate readability/maintainability in accordance with style guide requirements.
