Abstract
Software reverse engineering is a unit of software engineering that specializes in using special tools for re-planning, re-engineering, re-designing and reuse of classic and deprecated applications or software systems. This paper proposes a Reverse Software Engineering Model (CRSE) for Legacy Software and deploy a use case scenario in validating the model in developing system. The research uses a hybrid of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and the Agile Software Development - eXtreme Programming Methodology (XPM) as its methodology. The model and its analysis is presented in this paper. The Use case selected will be designed using the reverse Software engineering process model developed in the research.
