Analyzing the Application of a Reverse Engineering Process to a Real Situation Fabio Abbattista (*), Gregorio M.G. Fatone (**), Filippo Lanubile (*), Giuseppe Visaggio (*) (*) Dipartimento di Inform atica, University of Bari, Italy (**) Basica S.p.A., Potenza, Italy Abstract A reverse engineering process model was applied and on the basis of the data collected, some modifications were made aiming to improve its efficacy.The experience gave rise to various considerations of interest, first among them being the clear interaction between the quality of the product and the quality of the process. A method of synergetic application of static and dynamic analysis to improve understanding of the program was consolidated. The experience enabled modifications to be introduced connecting the reverse engineering process more closely with the understanding of the programs and information deriving from the application domain. Finally, the problem of the efficacy of the tools used to obtain the reverse engineering products was made evident during the experimentation on the field. 1: Introduction We present an experience in which process qualityand product quality interact and mutually improve one another. The process is reverse engineering while the product is the documentation of programs necessary to exploit the program better. The salient point to be gained from the experience are, in general, the model as it appears after improvements stemming from trial on the field and, in particular, the method for integrating static and dynamic analyses to improve the process. The paper describes the application of a process model to a real situation. The scenario is a set of programs with the following characteristics: language:COBOL operating system:BS2000 total no. of programs:653 no. of on-line programs:348 no. of batch programs:305 no. of files:70 no. of data:9 000 no. of Instructions:900 000 2: The reverse engineering process Our reverse
