REGoLive: Web site comprehension with viewpoints

This paper describes a demonstration of the REGoLive reverse engineering tool. REGoLive supports comprehension of Web sites with three distinct viewpoints: developer-view, server-view, and client-view. Each viewpoint provides unique information about a Web site, which is not contained in other viewpoints. REGoLive is built on top of the Go-Live Web authoring tool, which allows us to expose the developer-view of sites that have been built with GoLive. REGoLive shows a graph visualization of each viewpoint and allows the reverse engineer to navigate mappings between them. We believe that all three viewpoints are necessary to understand a Web site effectively.
