Abstract
We articulate the notion of reverse engineering of vendor databases and argue that this is a compelling technology that organizations should be routinely practicing. We take the perspective of a large organization that is a consumer of software (and not the perspective of a software vendor). We frequently reverse engineer vendor databases in our consulting practice and the technology has been enthusiastically received by industry.
