Developing an application is teamwork. It requires complementary skills to make it run smoothly. Though, bugs happened frequently and it’s not easy to read the code and all its interdependencies. So the easiest way would be to call your colleague who worked on it, but he has a flu and can not answer you. To

For five years now, our team is working on the preparation to migrate Berger-Levrault’s apps. To ease framework’s transition to new standards, we created Casino. A homemade tool to assist in future migrations. Casino, what’s that? It’s an innovative tool to simplify the migration process by automatically transforming apps code. We explain below the four

We led this project to determine the possibility to control a Microsoft Access 2013 application (or more recent versions) from a Java program to enable its migration.We’ve set up a two-steps approach: A first step to allow the utilization of Access software Application Programming Interface (API). Then, we studied the API to let us manipulate
We are glad to announce the Ph.D. thesis defense of Benoit Verhaeghe. Benoit mainly worked on method and tools to semi-automatically migrate front-end frameworks. His work particularly focused on the migration Google Web Toolkit to Angular environement. The defense will take place in Lille on October 21st, 2021. Resume Developers use GUI frameworks to design
During my Ph.D. migration project, I consider the migration of several GUI aspects: Visual, Behavioral and Business. These elements are the main ones. When perfectly considered, you can migrate the front-end of any application. But, we are missing some other stuff 😄 For example, how do you migrate i18N files? In this post, I’ll present how to build a simple migration tool to migrate I18N files from .properties (used by Java)
