- reverse engineering — (systems, product, design) The process of analysing an existing system to identify its components and their interrelationships and create representations of the system in another form or at a higher level of abstraction.

For example, one might take the executable code of a computer program, run it to study how it behaved with different inputs and then attempt to write a program which behaved identically (or better). An integrated circuit might also be reverse engineered by an unscrupulous company wishing to make unlicensed copies of a popular chip.
