Abstract

We describe the applicability of reverse engineering of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams from object-oriented source code to the field of verification and validation of software systems. This requires recovering not only static information, but also dynamic behavior from the source code. Most Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools can reverse engineer class diagrams and there is little tool support for extracting sequence or activity diagrams from C++ source code. Therefore, we have developed a reverse engineering tool for transforming C++ source code into UML class, sequence, and activity diagrams.
