Legacy takeover & regression fixing
Take over existing code, locate issues, add tests, fix and regress — with fix notes and diffs.
This page is a capability demo and reference build. The UI is illustrative — not a delivered artifact for a specific client.
Background
Taking over an undocumented system whose author is long gone, the big risk is "fix one thing, break three." The safe move isn’t a rewrite — it’s a test safety net first, then small fixes with regression at every step.
How we do it
01 Code archaeology: map module dependencies, reconstruct key paths, flag minefields
02 Safety net: add unit/integration tests on core paths to lock current behavior
03 Small-step fixes: root-cause, minimal change, regress each step
04 Documentation: fix notes, diffs and maintenance recommendations
What you get
- ✓ System state review and dependency map
- ✓ Core-path unit/integration tests (safety net)
- ✓ Fixes + regression verification + diff notes
- ✓ Maintenance recommendations and roadmap
Outcomes & acceptance
- Acceptance standard: every fix has a matching test and regression — no new holes
- Core paths locked by tests, future changes have a net
- Fix notes and diffs are auditable, handover not by word of mouth
- System goes from "don’t touch" to "sustainably maintainable"
