Abstract :
This work focuses on architectural recovery for program understanding and reuse reengineering of legacy object-oriented systems. The proposed method is based on dynamic analysis of the system for the selected test cases that cover relevant use cases. The theory of formal concept analysis is applied to decompose the logical hierarchy of subsystems, so that parts of the system which implement similar functionality are grouped together
