Information processing apparatus, flow generation method, and computer program product

A flow generation method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• displaying one or more screens that receive an operation by a user;
• identifying an operation item corresponding to the operation based on display information of the one or more screens, according to the operation on the one or more screens;
• generating an operation component associated with a condition corresponding to the operation item;
• generating a flow of operations based on the operation component according to an order of operations including the operation by the user, the flow of operations being a flow to be processed by a computer that executes an application;
• comparing multiple flows including the generated flow with one another, to extract a difference between multiple operation components including the generated operation component included in one of the multiple flows and multiple operation components included in another one of the multiple flows;
• and
• adding an operation component of a conditional branch before one of the multiple operation components, the one of the multiple operation components being a component for which the difference is extracted.

A computer program product for being executed on an information processing apparatus, comprising instructions, which, when executed by the information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to carry out a flow generation method comprising:

• displaying one or more screens that receive an operation by a user;
• identifying an operation item corresponding to the operation based on display information of the one or more screens, according to the operation on the one or more screens;
• generating an operation component associated with a condition corresponding to the operation item;
• generating a flow of operations based on the operation component according to an order of operations including the operation by the user, the flow of operations being a flow to be processed by a computer that executes an application;
• comparing multiple flows including the generated flow with one another, to extract a difference between multiple operation components including the generated operation component included in one of the multiple flows and multiple operation components included in another one of the multiple flows;
• and
• adding an operation component of a conditional branch before one of the multiple operation components, the one of the multiple operation components being a component for which the difference is extracted.
