What is Legacy Software?

Aug 2, 1998 - © Faisal Bin Bashir

Legacy software may be defined informally as "software we don't know what to do with, but it's still performing a useful job." Legacy software systems are programs that are critical to the operation of companies, but that were developed years ago using early programming languages such as Cobol and Fortran. These programs have been maintained for many years by hundreds of programmers, and while many changes have been made to the software, the supporting documentation may not be current. These factors contribute to the staggering cost of maintaining legacy systems. Consequently, there is an urgent need to find ways to make these programs more maintainable without disrupting the operation of the company.
