Study on Software Reverse Engineering

This study, sanctioned by the University of Maryland, College Park and Tufts University Institutional Review Boards, is designed to develop a better understanding of how practitioners reverse engineer software systems.

Participation in this study will consist of an approximately 90-minute interview. During the interview participants will be asked to walk the interviewer through the process they used recently when reverse engineering a software system. Throughout, the interviewer will take note of the different questions the participant tries to answer about the program, the ways they answer these questions, and the decisions they make.

We will not ask any participants to disclose confidential or proprietary information. Find Out More
