    This document discusses a pedagogical tool for forward and reverse engineering software designs. The tool provides automated processes and graphical user interfaces to reduce the manual work of entering and transforming designs. It also aims to aid decision making through visualization and syntactic checks. The tool allows designers to access features through a GUI and supports the design process by allowing entry of diagrams in popular design methodologies. However, it typically does not provide process guidance. Reverse engineering with this tool allows understanding an existing system's design specification through an interactive GUI that can convert source code to UML diagrams and vice versa.

    Abstract

    Title: A pedagogical tool for forward and reverse


    engineering

    Software design is a cognitively challenging task. Designers must manually enter


    designs, but the primary difficulty is decision – making rather than data-entry. If
    designers improve their decision making capabilities, it would result in better designs.
    This tool provides automation and graphical user interfaces that reduce the manual work
    of entering a design and transforming a design into code. They aid designers in decision-
    making mainly by providing visualization of design diagrams and simple syntactic
    checks. Also many tools provide substantial benefits in the area of version control and
    concurrent design mechanisms. One area of design support that has been not been well
    supported is analysis of design decisions.

    This tool is usable to provide a GUI that allows designers to access all the features
    provided by the tool. And they support the design process in that they allow the designer
    to enter diagrams in the style of popular design methodologies. But they typically do not
    provide process support to guide the designer through the design task. This teaching tool
    provides a very powerful opportunity to understand the design specification of an existing
    system and provides an interactive GUI to convert our java source file to UML notation
    and UML notation to a java source file. Using reverse engineering concepts a three-
    dimensional product or model can be quickly captured in digital form, re-modeled, and
    exported for rapid prototyping/tooling.

    Thus our innovative idea of this project lies in the definition “the process of analyzing
    programs in an effort to create representation of the program at the higher level of
    abstraction than source code. Reverse engineering is a process of design recovery”.
    Reverse engineering is not just the generation of data – rather it is a process to assure that
    the data is correct, the software functionality is understood and well documented and the
    software functions as intended and required by the system.
