Problem
There are situations for a software system that the original architecture has been lost or
outdated due to further development. The software architect has no detailed picture of what
the software system’s architecture looks like but only the source code. While the software
architect would require the architecture when migrating the software system to a new
environment such as cloud computing environment.
