Abstrak—Tujuan penelitian ini adalah penerapan reverse engineering untuk penentuan pola interaksi Sequence diagram yang bisa digunakan oleh sistem analis sebagai pola templateuntuk mendesain UML sequence diagram. Aplikasi yang digunakan sebagai data dasar berasal dari aplikasi contoh milik Android, aplikasi inilah yang mengalami proses reverse engineering dan teridentifikasi polanya. Tahap pertama yang dilakukan dalam penentuan pola interaksi ini adalah pengumpulan aplikasi dataset. Tahapan selanjutnya adalah identifikasi fitur dan aktifitas aplikasi, melakukan reverse engineeringsehingga didapatkan model sequence diagram,kemudian melakukan sistesis semua model tersebut menjadi pola interaksi sequence diagram. Langkah terakhir adalah menguji pola tersebut dengan menerapkannya dalam pembangunan aplikasi studi kasus. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi, disimpulkan bahwa pola interaksi pada sequence diagram yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini dapat diterapkan pada perancangan perangkat lunak yang memiliki fitur-fitur yang sama dengan fitur-fitur yang terdapat pada penelitian ini. Kata Kunci— Reverse Engineering, Pola Interaksi, Sequence Diagram, AndroidAbstract—The purpose of this research is to apply the application of reverse engineering to determine interaction patterns of the Sequence diagram that can be used by system analysts as a template for designing UML sequence diagrams. Sample applications from android are used as dataset for reverse engineering and pattern identification. The first step is collecting application datasets. The next stage is identifying the features and applications activity, reverse engineering to obtain a sequence diagram model, and then synthesize all of the models into an interaction pattern of sequence diagram. The final step is to test the patterns by implementing it in an application development case stud. The evaluation results concludes that interaction patterns of sequence diagram designs obtained in reverse engineering steps is able to be implemented in software development that contained similar features with the obtained features in this research. Keywords— Reverse Engineering, Interaction Pattern, Sequence Diagram, Android

Recently, reverse engineering has become widely recognized as a valuable process for extracting system abstractions and design information from existing software. This study focuses on ForUML, a reverse engineering tool developed to extract UML diagrams from modern object-oriented Fortran programs. Generally, Fortran is used to implement scientific and engineering software in various domains, such as weather forecasting, astrophysics, and engineering design. However, methods for visualizing the existing design of object-oriented Fortran software are lacking. UML diagrams of Fortran software would be beneficial to scientists and engineers in explaining the structure and behavior of their programs at a higher level of abstraction than the source code itself. UML diagrams can enhance discussions within development teams and with the broader scientific community. The first version of ForUML produces only UML class diagrams. Class diagrams provide a useful window into the static structure of a program, including the structure and components of each class and the relationships between classes. However, class diagrams lack the temporal information required to understand class behavior and interactions between classes. UML sequence diagrams provide this important algorithmic information. Therefore, herein, an extension for ForUML to extract UML sequence diagrams from the Fortran code is proposed, and this capability is provided using a widely used open-source platform. This study argues that the proposed extension will enable the visualization of object-oriented Fortran software behavior and algorithmic structure and thereby enhance the development, maintenance practices, decision processes, and communications in scientific and engineering software communities worldwide.
