Abstract

Currently the abilities of companies have to be improving to compete the market challenges, so their all assets are under consideration for up-gradation including human resources, structures, and computer based system,technically here focus is on software system which have become agile because emerging requirements and functional changes have been incorporated continuously to fulfill the demands and ultimately it has itself become an issue. Reengineering has come up with a useful and stable tool for managing and realizing these up-gradations, but with the issues and risks that accompany traditional process of reengineering and having a question whether it can achieve the desired benefits.This paper addresses several issues which should be undertaken while the system is under up-gradation with long term maintenance; this paper focuses on the risks and issues of reengineering of agile software assets as code, data and structure with its implementation challenges.
