Abstract
Through an operation of a debugger 57, a process with respect to certain assumed collaboration is carried out for each module such that breakpoints may be set up at appropriate locations in a program. Executing the program, call relations up to a setup time of a breakpoint are stacked on a call stack. Using the debugger 57, these call relations are stored into a collaboration repository 51. A builder 52 is a means for controlling an overall development environment. This builder 52 may call a debugger 57 or another function 53 for displaying program information that comprises a collaboration matrix 54, a call graph 55, a class browser 56 and the like.
