Reengineering (software)

Reengineering (software)

The reengineering of software was described by Chikofsky and Cross in their 1990 paper [Chikofsky, E. and Cross, J., 1990. Reverse Engineering and Design Recovery: A Taxonomy. IEEE Software, 7(1):13-18.] , as "The examination and alteration of a system to reconstitute it in a new form". Less formally, reengineering is the modification of a software system that takes place after it has been reverse engineered, generally to add new functionality, or to correct errors.

This entire process is often erroneously referred to as reverse engineering; however, it is more accurate to say that reverse engineering is the initial examination of the system, and reengineering is the subsequent modification.
