The Bauhaus toolkit is a set of tools to extract, analyze, query, and visualize information about existing software.

• you inherited a legacy system with obsolete documentation
• your architecture deteriorates due to ad-hoc changes
• you want to mine your software for reusable assets
• you want to build a software product line from existing systems
• you may have a large code base you lost control on
• you bought or are about to buy source code and need to judge its quality
• your manual code audits are too costly and unreliable because of the increasing size of your system and the many hidden effects

• it lets you conduct detailed code audits effectively and efficiently
• it helps you to understand your program in the small and in the large
• it supports you in reconstructing the software architecture from source code

Bauhaus offers a wide range of techniques: source code metrics, pointer analyses, side-effect analyses, data flow analyses, program slicing, code duplication techniques, static tracing, query techniques, source code navigation and visualization, object recovery, remodularization, architecture recovery techniques, and more.
