abbreviation Technical meaning of LEGACY CODE legacy system 3
noun Definition of legacy code in Technology (jargon) A computer system or application program which continues to be used because of the cost of replacing or redesigning it and often despite its poor competitiveness and compatibility with modern equivalents. The implication is that the system is large, monolithic and difficult to modify. If legacy software only runs on antiquated hardware the cost of maintaining this may eventually outweigh the cost of replacing both the software and hardware unless some form of emulation or backward compatibility allows the software to run on new hardware. 1
noun legacy code Source code that relates to a no-longer supported or manufactured operating system or other computer technology. 0
