Abstract

While many commercial and academic design recovery tools have been proposed over the years, assessing their relevance and comparing them is difficult due to the lack of a well-defined, comprehensive, and common framework. In this paper, we introduce such a common comparative framework. The framework builds upon our own experience and extends existing comparative frameworks. We illustrate the comparative framework on two specific design recovery tools.
