Project Title: Refactoring Legacy Software for Layer Separation

========================================================================

Content:

This Github project contains descriptions of lab package for layer separation experiment. The experiment is for an educational system.

The BLDALmono package consists the middle layer of a monolithic system. This package includes 4 classes that are related to an educational system: teacher, student, course and section.

The BL_DAL_Separated package is the resulting software after separating the layers; separating the data access layer from the commercial layer. Thus, the data access codes are separated from the business codes in the first package and transferred to another layer.

========================================================================

Specifications:

The initial program code is written in Java as a single layer and is automatically refactored into two layers in Java by a code scanner.

Input: student class, lecturer class, course class, section class ==> Business layer

output: student class, lecturer class, course class, section class, DALClass ==> Business layer + Data Access layer
