Computer-readable recording medium string a bug detection support program, similar structure identification information list output program, bug detection support apparatus, and bug detection support method

A recording medium on which is recorded a similar structure identification information list output program, the similar structure identification information list output program causing a computer to execute:

• a similarity calculation step of cross-referencing a source code configured of a plurality of structures, and, when receiving from a user a selection of any item of structure identification information from a structure identification information list in which the structure identification information for identifying structures which are possibly bugs is listed, calculating a similarity between structures corresponding to each item of structure identification information in the structure identification information list and a structure corresponding to the selected structure identification information;
• a structure identification information specification step of specifying items of structure identification information, from among the items of structure identification information in the structure identification information list, of which the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation step is of a pre-set predetermined threshold value or greater;
• and
• a similar structure identification information list output step of generating a similar structure identification information list, in which are listed the items of structure identification information specified by the structure identification information specification step, and outputting the generated similar structure identification information list, correlated to the structure identification information selected by the user, for the user.

A bug detection support apparatus, comprising:

• a structure identification information list output unit which cross-references a source code configured of a plurality of structures, and a plurality of items of detection condition information indicating detection conditions for detecting a structure which is possibly a bug, detects structures which are possibly a bug, and outputs a structure identification information list, generated listing structure identification information uniquely given to the detected structures, for a user;
• a similarity calculation unit which, in the event of receiving from the user a selection of any item of structure identification information in the structure identification information list, calculates a similarity between structures corresponding to each item of structure identification information in the structure identification information list and a structure corresponding to the selected structure identification information;
• a structure identification information specification unit which specifies items of structure identification information, from among the items of structure identification information in the structure identification information list, of which the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation unit is of a pre-set predetermined threshold value or greater;
• and
• a similar structure identification information list output unit which generates a similar structure identification information list, in which are listed the items of structure identification information specified by the structure identification information specification unit, and outputs the generated similar structure identification information list, correlated to the structure identification information selected by the user, for the user.

A bug detection support method comprising:

• cross-referencing a source code configured of a plurality of structures, and a plurality of items of detection condition information indicating detection conditions for detecting a structure which is possibly a bug, detecting structures which are possibly a bug, and outputting a structure identification information list, generated listing structure identification information uniquely given to the detected structures, for a user;
• in the event of receiving from the user a selection of any item of structure identification information in the structure identification information list, calculating a similarity between structures corresponding to each item of structure identification information in the structure identification information list and a structure corresponding to the selected structure identification information;
• specifying items of structure identification information, from among the items of structure identification information in the structure identification information list, of which the calculated similarity is of a pre-set predetermined threshold value or greater;
• and
• generating a similar structure identification information list, in which are listed the items of structure identification information specified, and outputting the generated similar structure identification information list, correlated to the structure identification information selected by the user, for the user.
