Abstract

An apparatus has program analysis information generation device for automatically generating program analysis information by analyzing a computer program, and program analysis information storage device for sequentially storing the generated program analysis information in a predetermined data recording medium in arbitrary units. A plurality of kinds of program analysis information generated by the program analysis information generation device are stored in the data recording medium as a database every time individual analysis information is obtained. Hence, upon obtaining program analysis information for a large-scale program, even when the memory capacity that can be mounted on a computer is limited, target program analysis information can be reliably obtained without encountering any memory shortage during analysis.
