Forensic software engineering

Description

Usually, forensic software engineering is performed with an interest in understanding the functionality - and sometimes intent - of software that has been abandoned by its creators, with an eye to correcting unexpected outcomes or determining whether to port, rebuild, replace, or retire a functional software instance.[1]

Is often required as a result of a corporate mergers or acquisitions, or during the migration/transition from an old datacenter to a newer one.
