Architectural Modeling Component Diagram Forward and Reverse Engineering

Forward and Reverse Engineering 
Forward Engineering 
To forward engineer a component diagram, 
  • For each component, identify the classes or collaborations that the component implements 
  • Show this with a manifest relationship 
  • Choose the form for each component 
  • The choice is between source code (a form that can be manipulated by development tools) or a binary library or executable (a form that can be dropped into a running system) 
  • Use tools to forward engineer your models
Reverse Engineering 
To reverse engineer a component diagram, 
  • Choose the target you want to reverse engineer 
  • Source code can be reverse engineered to discover components and then classes 
  • ⃝Binary libraries can be reverse engineered to uncover their interfaces 
  • Executable's can be reverse engineered the least 
  • Using a tool, point to the code you want to reverse engineer 
  • Use the tools to generate a new model or to modify an existing one that was previously forward engineered
  • Using the tool, create a component diagram by querying the model 
  • Expose or hide the details of the contents of this component diagram as necessary to communicate your intent
