abstract = {Over the last decade, numerous techniques have been
proposed in the literature to reverse engineer large
legacy systems, several of them even claiming success
on industrial scale. Consequently, when faced with a
reverse engineering request from a large banking
company, we decided to reuse an existing technique
(namely, feature location using formal concept
analysis on execution profiles) and see whether we
could replicate their results. This paper reports our
experience with such a replication experiment: we
list those things that worked well (and fortunately,
there were quite a few) and those things that did not
work so well (and try to identify root causes and
solutions for the problems we encountered).},
