A Comparative Framework for Design Recovery Tools

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.
