  • Publication number: 20070074177
    Abstract: In extracting logic by backward slice, all logic portions influencing an output start point are extracted and the extraction result contains logic not necessary for a user. In order to solve this, a user is made to designate input information on logic to be extracted from a program constituting an already existing system, and it is judged whether it is necessary to extract specific logic of each command statement of the program. Extraction necessity of specific logic from an analysis subject program is classified as follows. A command statement influenced by only an input designated by a user is classified into a command statement to be extracted, a command statement influenced by both an input designated by the user and an input not designated by the user is classified into a command statement to be corrected, and a command statement influenced by only an input not designated by the user is classified into a command statement not to be extracted.
