Towards the reverse engineering of UML sequence diagrams
Lionel Briand, Yvan Labiche, Y. Miao · 2004
The objective of the work reported here is to defineand assess a method to reverse engineer UML sequencediagrams from execution traces. We do so based onformal transformation rules and we reverse engineerdiagrams that show all relevant technical information,including conditions, iterations of messages, and specificobject identities and types being involved in theinteractions. We present the fundamental principles ofour methodology, illustrate it with examples, and validateit through a case study.
