Automatic addition of software component wizards by usage analysis

摘要

There are some researches which the wizard is added to the component in order to make the complex setting easy. However, the components with the wizards are actually a few, because it is difficult to develop wizard's code, and to derive preferable setting of property. In this paper, we propose a technique to add the wizard for component automatically by usage information on the property of the component. Our system analyzes information of the properties in the applications (Usage Information Analysis), and derives the combinations of property which set to the component based on the value of the property in sample applications immediately after the component generation. The wizard which is automatically generated presents application developers the combinations of property and the value of property.
