Abstract

In the present paper, a reverse engineering tool that represents the design intention of engineers is proposed. Without considering the design intention, it is difficult to reproduce documents that represent the design information of existing software. Therefore, estimating the intention of engineers could be a key factor in the construction of an understandable model of the software structure. Since naming conventions are established in each organization and in product development, a module name may suggest the design intention. Based on this premise, the authors proposed a method for estimating feature categories of modules with the design intention and implemented the method in a reverse engineering tool. This paper analyzes two kinds of embedded software products for a body fat scale and wireless communication equipment using the proposed tool and discuss the results.
