COURSE SYNOPSIS

This course examines techniques for creating system documentation, and therefore current operational documentation, when none exists. This process is called reverse engineering and it uses the current system and its code to create a model of the “as-is” system.”

The student will learn how to document system processes by looking at both normal and error processing, and by following transactions or event streams.

BABOK REFERENCE

This course addresses and expands Section 4.11.

An abbreviated set of these materials is included in the IIBA07 course. This course is for a team that wants more in-depth hands-on experience with reverse engineering techniques.
