Abstract
A method and system capable of creating UML protocol state machine for classes and interfaces of a software, by instrumenting the software to obtain a call graph comprising classes and interfaces and respective values associated with class variables and interface variables; identifying particular classes and interfaces in the call graph; identifying call patterns from the call graph to generate a protocol state machine.
