Detection of Web Design Patterns Using Reverse Engineering

Design Patterns are very popular topic in software development. They solve the common software problem of defining web applications. Good use of design patterns increases code maintainability and provides good understanding to other developers. It helps in reducing the learning curve when dealing with a particular piece of code. By reverse engineering these applications we can make it possible for other (secondary) developers to understand the code better which will reduce human efforts of maintaining any documents for the Web Application. Hence, the detection is necessary for having an update or to study any application. The proposed work consists of a new improved method which creates a diagrammatic representation of the design patterns used in the program which is further used by the end developers to understand the code in a better way.
