Lack of precise specification is a well-known syndrome in the software industry. This article covers some peculiar aspects of the problem and its causes in the automotive software industry. We describe how the situation motivates engineers to grasp reverse engineering methodologies to comprehend third-party components. We tell our story of a reverse engineering practice that we have developed and adopted in a recent project on testing embedded systems of a modern vehicle.
