Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a software development support system, and particularly provides a support tool suitable for software designers to create software documents and programs.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, when developing software, procedures such as external specifications, program specifications, coding, punching, etc. are required.↓9.
They provided information that could be used to create and code all documents by obtaining them. This manual creation and coding process was prone to errors, and furthermore, it required even more effort to modify the specifications.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, specifications are created and coded manually, and it is necessary to perform bunching, key operations, etc. each time. Processing by routine acquisition is a kind of tedious process, and often leads to mistakes. Furthermore, it takes effort to rewrite or add to the resulting program specifications.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the effort required to create source programs, and to prevent writing errors in routine parts.
The purpose of this invention is to improve the efficiency of North program creation by making it possible to use diagrams, which are intermediate products, as program specifications.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to capture key press sequence information through interaction with the terminal, create a key sequence flow diagram, create matrix information representing key rice harvesting, create a table for procedural control from them, This is achieved by linking with program parts made to correspond to the keys.

[Effect]

In the algorithm construction method using key sequences, by inputting a key sequence flow diagram showing the temporal flow through interaction with a terminal, an execution procedure table is created from a business M/key type matrix table that shows the entire business.
A program is automatically constructed by taking/receiving a program that has been turned into a component corresponding to a key. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of program creation.

〔Example〕 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. 'W, In Figure 1, 1 is the terminal for inputting commands and displaying figures, 2 is the part that takes in the commands,
3 is a processing unit that interprets the captured data, displays or edits the corresponding diagram, and stores the results as drawing information in file 5; 4 converts the drawing information into matrix information and stores it in file 6; In the storing process, 7 is a processing unit that generates a source text from the information 5 and 6 and outputs it to the printer 8, and 9 is a processing unit that outputs the information in the file 5.6 to the printer 8 as a document.

FIG. 2 is a processing flowchart for realizing the present invention.
f Show. The process branches into five steps depending on the specifications from the keyboard. When creating a flow diagram for the first time, specify the drawing mode. In this drawing mode, a command is accepted in step 13, and a key sequence flow diagram is drawn in 14. Figure 3 (
In a), the input commands and the elements drawn by them are made to correspond by arrows. The character string shown in the lower part is the input data, and then level 1;...level n: is output from the system. For example, in the diagram.

A RTN indicates that the KA function key is pressed first, and then (level 2) indicates whether the B or C function keys are pressed or omitted (ΔNispace). Inputting only RTN indicates the end of the key sequence. This shows the correspondence between the input and output diagrams for business 1 (Gl).

The flowchart drawn in this way is saved in the drawing information t file 5 in step 15. In this way, business 2 (G2)
If you save in the same way (flow diagram in Figure 3 (b)), it will finally be saved in file 6 as a flow diagram (ORed) of Gl and 02 (Figure 3 (C)) (
Step 16).

@Diagram 4 (a) and (b) compare which key is pressed during which task for the status? It shows,
This is a matrix table. The ◎ mark in Fig. 4 (b) indicates that A is always pressed in status 1, and O indicates that B or C1 or omitted in task 1 (Gl) of status 2), task 2 ( In G2), either C or D must be pressed *1 - typically marked Q).

The business type table 22 shown in FIG. 5 is based on the information in FIG. 4<b). A status table 23 in which the execution status of each task is arranged, a two-part link table 241, and a parts group 25 and each table 22 to 24 are generated.
Link relationship table? Automatically generate. The grogram parts group 25 includes each function (A, B, C
. . . F . . .)), two pre-made parts are prepared in advance to easily respond to changes in the order of key presses, deletion of keys, etc. This is the process performed in steps 19 and 20 in the source generation mode of FIG. Therefore, if the flowchart is to be modified, this is done by steps 11 and 12 in the edit mode in FIG. You can also generate sources and build new processing systems.

Finally, it can be used as a specification by executing steps 17 and 18 in the document output mode in Figure #42.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by inputting commands by interacting with a terminal,
By creating a key sequence flow diagram, creating an execution procedure table based on that information, and linking it with a group of program components, a processing algorithm can be automatically generated. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of program development, automatically generate programs with high reliability and high maintainability, and the diagrams created at that time can also be used as documents. Also, changes can be easily made by modifying the figure using the editing function t-.
