Process evaluation device, program and method

A process evaluation device, comprising:

• a development process definition memory storage unit which stores definition information on a plurality of processes for developing software and sequence numbers thereof;
• a transition information acquiring unit which acquires identification information or a sequence number of a new process after a backward transition occurs, wherein a process transition from an evaluation origin to said new process is said backward transition when a sequence number of said new process is smaller than a sequence number of said evaluation origin;
• and
• a transition information analysis unit which calculates and thereby outputs a backing-away distance, which is a difference between a sequence number of said evaluation origin and a sequence number of said new process, for said backward transition.
