Abstract:
Disclosed herein is user augmented reverse engineering, where, in one embodiment, during the generation of a graphical representation of a codebase, database, binary and the like, users may be provided with an option to ‘focus’. For example, during the graphical generation of a large codebase, a user may select one or things to limit the extent of the graphical representation generation. In another embodiment, a graphical generation may encounter one or more pre-defined boundary conditions. Upon encountering a boundary condition, the generation of the graphical representation may determine that it is unable to complete the graphical generation within a pre-defined set of requirements without additional instructions. Thus, the graphical generation may complete and then prompt a user for solutions to any boundary conditions it has encountered, or the generation may pause at each boundary condition it encounters and prompt a user for a solution to the boundary condition.
