Abstract

This chapter introduces and explores the POSAR test, a recent forensic procedure for establishing software copyright infringement cases. Firstly, there is an overview of the 3-stage, linear sequential AFC test. By introducing the 5-phase, cyclic POSAR test as AFC's logical extension, the chapter then presents the POSAR test in detail in its five different phases and then explains the POSAR test algorithmically for the benefit of forensic practitioners and researchers. The chapter concludes with a juxtaposed comparison of the POSAR and the AFC tests and a discussion on the advantages, disadvantages, and caveats in the use of POSAR, with suggestions for further customization of the POSAR test.
