Generating a natural language specification of a computer program by generating an intermediate expression table based on a flow chart from analyzed syntax of the program

摘要

A specification generating method for a computer program comprises the steps of: analyzing the syntax of a predetermined computer program; generating a control flowchart based on the analyzed syntax; generating an intermediate expression table based on the control flowchart; providing block numbers for calls and branched destinations; attaching an item number and a heading to every call and branched destination; and generating the specification of the computer program, using a natural language based on the item number and the heading.
