System and method of interactively developing desired computer programs by using plurality of tools within a process described in graphical language

摘要

The method and system of this invention assist a user in the achievement of a task according to a set of procedures such as those used in the design of software products. A functional description of the process of designing the software is instantiated by the system whereupon the system provides the user with a series of choices relating to the software development. The choices selected, in turn, permit a variety of system tools, each operating in parallel and concurrently, to be used in the development of the software. The system automatically monitors and checks the process during any manipulation and provides error analysis as well as suggested courses of action to the user. The system provides flexible support without requiring the user to follow a rigid development pattern.
