Change requests are often formulated into concepts or
features that a maintainer can understand. One of the
main issues faced by a maintainer is to know and locate
"where does this program implement feature X".
However, these features are implicitly available in the
code and scattered elsewhere that make them
undoubtedly difficult to manage. A technique called
software reconnaissance was originally inspired by
industrial maintainers about the need for better ways of
locating software features in large systems. This paper
presents the authors' experience in using the software
reconnaissance technique and tool called RECON2,
developed by the university of West Florida. Our
objective is to understand how the technique and tool
work and to further suggest some enhancements with
respect to software understanding strategies.
