EZSource Training

EZSource provides software for analyzing legacy applications. It allows users to import various types of files associated with a legacy application, including code, configuration files, databases, and more. The software then generates various views of the application's structure and logic, including graphs, tree views, flowcharts, and reports. It also includes a build system to compile code and check for errors, as well as a repository for storing analysis results. Program slicing functionality allows users to identify all code related to a particular variable or section of code.
