Abstract Because of the huge number of monolithic and inflexible object-oriented systems and their huge costs there is a need for redesign in order to maintain and to reuse them. For redesigning such a system we have to eliminate the design flaws, and this is possible with the help of detection strategies in a systematic, scalable and repeatable way. In this paper will be presented a software tool which models the detection strategies using metrics, statistical operators, detects problems in legacy systems and offers introspection at the exact suspect entity.
