ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of performing a system reverse engineering process. The method provides for an examination of the application system that requires reverse engineering by examining the entire network structure forming the system, by tracking chains of nodes and links in accordance with a predetermined tracking method, that will ensure a complete examination. The information gathered from the examination will permit formatting of the information into a form in which it represents the application system in a usable form. The method of the invention provides also for the creation of a software program or an entire software system that can be employed for carrying out the reverse engineering process.
