The recent rise of smartphones has triggered a revolution in mobile development. As a result of this incremental mobile innovation, new software engineering techniques, software documentation, and tools adapted to the mobile platform remain essential in order to help developers to better understand, analyze, and bootstrap porting mobile applications. In this paper, the authors propose a model-driven reverse-engineering approach based on static analysis, which describes a semantic metamodel of the iOS mobile application and extract design information (such as user interfaces, activity diagram, entities, framework and library dependencies) in order to generate the functional specification documentation and the Android UI skeleton. Thus, aiding the project team, who has in charge porting the app to another mobile platform, to agree upon a consensus on what has to be implemented and safe development cost by auto generating the Android UI skeleton project. To experiment this approach, the authors have implemented a tool called iSpecSnapshot. Moreover, they evaluate the performance of iSpecSnapshot by an experiment involving iOS applications that are ported to Android platform.

“…MDA models show the software system at various abstract levels [7] -Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM), Platform Specific Model (PSM) and Implementation Specific Model (ISM). In the context of MDA the transformation between models is executed from CIM to PIM, from PIM to PSM and from PSM to ISM.…”

A domain model can provide compact information about its corresponding software system for business people. If the software system exists without its domain model and documentation it is time-consuming to understand its behavior and structure only from the code. Reverse Engineering (RE) tools can be used for obtaining behavior and structure of the software system from source code. After that the domain model can be created. A short overview and an example of obtaining the domain model, Topological Functioning Model (TFM), from source code are provided in the paper. Positive and negative effects of the process of TFM backward derivation are also discussed.

ResumenSe define un instrumento para caracterizar los métodos de ingeniería inversa que fue construido haciendo uso de la técnica de revisión de características establecida en la metodología DESMET. Se obtuvo así, la identificación de catorce características distribuidas en tres aspectos. El instrumento fue aplicado a diez métodos de ingeniería inversa para validar su utilidad. Esto permitió concluir que la metodología facilita la selección del método más adecuado para un caso específico bajo un escenario de aplicación de la ingeniería inversa. Palabras clave: ingeniería inversa, construcción del software, arquitectura de software, DESMET AbstractA tool for characterizing reverse engineering methods that was built using the technique of features revision established in the DESMET methodology is defined. This resulted in the identification of fourteen features distributed on three aspects. The instrument was applied to ten reverse engineering methods to validate its usefulness. This allowed concluding that the methodology facilitates the selection of the most appropriate method for a particular case under a scenario of reverse engineering application.
