This paper describes static analyses for reverse engineering graphical user interfaces (GUIs). These analyses, implemented in the Bauhaus tool suite, support typical maintenance tasks like migrating from a hand-written GUI to so-called GUI builders and redocumentation of the GUI. Our tool extracts the program's windows and their structure, the attributes of the widgets and their values, the GUI events that might occur at runtime, and the event handlers associated with those events. We explain our approach and report encouraging results for several programs.

“…Many research on user interface reengineering focuses on migrating user interfaces, either from textbased platforms to GUI based platform [16] [18], or from one GUI platform to another [14]. The authors of [1] points out that reengineering existing user interfaces improves the performance and user satisfaction, while shortening training and reducing error rates.…”

The interface between human operators and industrial control systems (HMI, Human Machine Interface) is a key component for operating and configuring industrial machines and facilities, which have grown in terms of functionality and complexity. However, HMI software in industrial operation tends to have a longer lifespan than desktop or office software. Besides growing maintenance cost over time, it might also happen that the capability or lifecycle of the base technologies render the adaption to new requirements extremely difficult if not impossible. Quite frequently, HMI software targeting a specific application domain is then completely rebuilt from scratch on the base of a new or heavily altered base technology. In our work, we support the reengineering of HMIs by static analysis of its source code and the extraction of key information to an implementation technology independent model. In a subsequent step these models shall be the starting point to generate at least parts of the HMI based on a new technology. This paper describes the motivation, requirements and challenges that inhere in this task. In addition, we provide a short insight into first findings based on the analysis of a real world HMI source code from the domain of injection moulding.
