Abstract

The man-months definition table 106 defines man-months for each combination of a function, data, and an infrastructure for both As_Is and To_Be of EA. The content retrieval patterns database 109 sets a development example for each combination of the function, data and the infrastructure. The EA result analysis unit 113 creates a retrieval pattern used for retrieving man-months from EA planning results of the EA planning results database 108, and the man-months calculation unit 114 searches the man-months definition table 106 to calculate development man-months. The example retrieval unit 115 creates a retrieval pattern used for retrieving content and searches the content retrieval patterns database 109 for a suitable development example.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A development support system which supports system development based on EA, said system comprising:

an EA planning results database which stores EA planning results about a system intended for improvement;
a man-months definition table database which stores information used for calculating man-months of system development;
a content retrieval patterns database which stores a document name that corresponds to a system development example;
a particular development examples database in which design specifications corresponding to a development example that is defined in said content retrieval patterns database are stored;
an EA result analysis unit which creates a retrieval key to search said man-months definition table database by analyzing EA planning results stored in said EA planning results database;
a man-months calculation unit which calculates development man-months by searching said man-months definition table database based on the retrieval key created by the EA result analysis unit;
and
an example retrieval unit which creates an example retrieval key based on the EA planning results stored in said EA planning results database, searches said content retrieval patterns database based on the example retrieval key, and searches a development example from said particular development examples database based on the retrieval results.
