Summary:When the documentation about the sequence of interactions among the objects in a program is not available but it is required, some work has to be done to document and to obtain the sequence diagrams either by making it in a manual way, or to apply a reverse engineering process that helps to recover the individual diagrams. The present work proposes a computerized method that interprets the characteristics of programs written in C++ code and applies a conversion algorithm that obtains the UML sequence diagrams. To test the method and their conversion algorithm a study case using the work carried out at Gordon College has been taken, which is an automatic teller machine simulator system written in C++
