PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that quantitatively evaluates a maintenance man-hour of a component for improvement in maintainability of the system.SOLUTION: When a component as a unit of a subsystem in which a system designer puts functions and data of a business application together is designed, a maintenance pattern having an influence wave, a place, a correction man-hour, etc., in maintenance pattern patterned using maintenance history information is extracted, and the maintenance man-hour of the component is evaluated with the maintenance pattern, so that a component having a minimum maintenance man-hour can be designed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient program analysis method for specifying a source code in which factoring is truly necessary, without extracting a complicated source code in which refactoring is unnecessary.SOLUTION: A program analysis method includes steps of: measuring metrics from a source code/configuration management system/operation log; evaluating whether the source code is applicable to an anti pattern using the metrics measurement result; and calculating and presenting priority of refactoring on each source code using the metrics measurement result.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Source code evaluation system and method

An apparatus specifies, for each of interfaces described in a source code, an installed program associated with the each interface, based on a description of the source code including a relevant source code corresponding to the installed program, and stores an identifier of the specified installed program in the memory in association with an interface associated with the installed program. The apparatus specifies an interface to be executed upon execution of a program based on the source code, according to contents defined in the source code. The apparatus, upon execution of the program based on the source code, outputs information on the installed program whose identifier is stored in the memory in association with the specified interface, so that the installed program is identifiable.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a component division support device for simplifying component division work. SOLUTION: The component division support device has: a component element definition storage part for storing a service interface and a table which are component elements of software to be developed and definition data about dependency between them; a dependency policy storage part for storing policy data which define illegal dependency with respect to the dependency; an improvement measure storage part for storing an idea for improving the dependency against the policy; and a dependency analysis part for using the policy data which define the illegal dependency stored in the dependency policy storage part to detect dependency against the policy from among the dependencies and using a plan to improve the dependency against the policy to output a candidate of an improvement plan of the dependency against the detected policy.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a class structure concerning component design. SOLUTION: A service interface definition table, a table definition table, an inter-service interface dependency definition table, a service interface-table dependency definition table, a service input/output definition table, a table use method definition table, and an inter-class dependency template definition table, etc., which are inputted via an input part 30, are defined as bases. Based on the above tables, a processing part 10 generates a class, stores information concerning the generated class in a class definition table, generates information concerning inter-class dependency, stores the information in an inter-class dependency definition table, generates information concerning the dependency between the class and the table, and stores the information in a class-table dependency definition table, etc. A display part displays the information stored in the class definition table, the inter-class dependency definition table, and the class-table dependency definition table, thereby displaying the class structure.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus that generates clauses as contract clauses for implementing standard contract transaction which agree with the contents of a new insurance product. SOLUTION: A product data editing part 102 reads out from a product data storage part 150 product data 120 constituted of coverage information corresponding to units of clauses generated by insurance products, such as main and special contracts, and product information defined for combining the coverage information according to an insurance product to be generated, and edits it in accordance with the statements and logical structure of clauses to be generated in consideration of structural differences and coverage references in the product data 120. A condition data generation part 104 converts the edited product data 124 into clause data 128 in a display format and outputs it to a display device 204. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for developing a business system related to a provision capable of easily correctly reflecting content of the provision. SOLUTION: A provision processing part 102 refers to a provision information database 104 storing information about an element component of a unit that is a constituent element of the provision 100 such as a chapter, an article, a clause, or a number, and a combination component showing relation inside the provision such as a hierarchical structure of the provision, and makes a user designate such the components to make provision information having the same structure as the provision 100 be defined. A concept model generation part 106 generates a concept model from the defined provision information. A business processing program generation part 110 generates a business processing program 114 from the generated concept model. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
