a) Re-engineering
b) Reverse engineering
c) Software re-engineering
d) Science and engineering
- Reverse engineering involves analyzing an existing system to understand its components, architecture, and functionality. This process is often used to create documentation, such as analysis and design documents, which can be used for various purposes like maintenance, improvement, or creating a new system.
Differentiating from Other Options:
- Re-engineering is a broader term that involves modifying an existing system to improve its quality, performance, or maintainability.
- Software re-engineering is a specific type of re-engineering focused on software systems.
- Science and engineering are general fields of study and not specific to the process of analyzing an existing system.
