Background

Nowadays, different software systems developed in-house are growing; companies or organization is facing problems of new collaborations and mergers. Therefore there should be a system which could help the developers to discuss how to merge two or more software systems.

General Description

The main goal of our project is to provide users a tool which could help them to merge two or more different systems. With the help of our system, the developer will know the time effort as well as some suggestions when he wants to make the new system or modify the old systems. Our software should provide users a friendly GUI and easy way of using it.
