A Mathematical Model to Verify a Reverse Engineering Approach Which Convert Form Fill Format into UML Class Diagram (original) (raw)

A NEW REVERSE ENGINEERING APPROACH TO CONVERT FORM FILL FORMAT DOCUMENT INTO UML CLASS DIAGRAM

This paper propose a new reverse engineering approach to convert a form fill format document into a set of related tables that can be used to generate the entity relationship diagram. A relationship between the set of tables is generated. In addition, the entity relationship diagram will be converted into a UML class diagram. However, this approach will be very helpful for researchers and practitioners in Software Engineering field, since most of the reverse engineering approaches are based on source code. This approach is tested by using several word form fill format documents and the results show a high accuracy rates comparing with the forward engineering.

An Overview of Research on Reverse Engineering XML Schemas into UML

Proceedings of Information Technology and Applications, 2005. ICITA 2005, 2005

Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become a standard for data representation and exchange over the Internet. XML schemas are often used to define vocabularies of XML document types and to validate whether the XML documents adhere to the rules defined in the XML schemas. Since XML schemas are textual, programmatic, logical-level schemas, users of XML schemas often find it difficult to understand and communicate with each other the structure and content of the XML schemas and documents as the XML schemas grow in complexity. A solution to the problem would be to convert the logical-level XML schemas developed back to conceptual-level Unified Modeling Language diagrams to facilitate easy understanding and communication. This research paper provides an overview of research on reverse engineering XML schemas into UML diagrams.

Reverse Engineering: From Xml to Uml for generation of software requirement specification

Reverse Engineering (RE) is a method to extract requirement information application from XML at higher level of abstraction. At present, reverse engineering of XML focus on transformation XML to conceptual model, which is UML. The transformation result is presented in variety of diagrams. The transformation result is beneficial for developer and designer tracking changes in analysis phase. However, it does not show changes from the requirements view. Therefore, this paper shows the framework of reverse engineering from XML to UML for generating software requirement specification. In this work, the related work of reverse engineering XML is clear but none are extending to requirements level. This paper also proposes research method to extend transformation XML to SRS.

Reverse Software Engineering Using UML tools

In this paper, we have taken the source code for social Networking sites and we are going to perform Reverse engineering. For this we are using UML Tools like Microsoft Visio and visual paradigm. Here, we are going to compare the outcome of these UML tools . This comparison will show how we can effectively produce meaningful and semantically accurate UML models using reverse engineering.
