- the GUI information extraction operation is started by receiving screen name designation information after the screen name designation unit 2 completes the screen name designation operation by level.
- the GUI information extraction unit 3 receives the screen name designation information from the screen name designation unit 2, first, the GUI information extraction unit 3 arbitrarily selects a processing target from an unprocessed screen among the evaluation screens of the evaluation target system 6. A screen to be selected is selected (step S101).
- the GUI information extraction unit 3 sets the screen name search level to level 0 (Lv0), which is the highest level (step S102). Then, for the set search level, a part (screen name notation part) designated for each level is searched (step S103).
- step S104 if text data exists in an area corresponding to the screen name notation location of the current search level on the processing target screen (Yes in step S104), the text data is set as the screen name of the current search level on the same screen. Another screen name information is generated and recorded in the GUI information recording unit 5 (step S105). On the other hand, if there is no text data in the area corresponding to the screen name notation location of the current search level (No in step S104), the screen name information by level is determined as the screen name of the current search level in the same screen is empty. It is generated and recorded in the GUI information recording unit 5 (step S106).
- step S103 to S106 After recording the screen name information by level for the current search level, the next level (lower level) is set as the search level, and there is information that specifies the screen name notation location of the search level set in the screen name specification information If so, the operations from step S103 to S106 are repeated for the search level (Yes in step S108). By executing the operations from S103 to S108, screen names of all designated levels are acquired for a single screen.
- step S108 when the lower level is set to the next search level, if there is no information specifying the screen name notation location of the set search level (No in step S108), it has been specified by the processing so far. Assuming that the search has been completed for the screen names of all levels, the configuration information is acquired with reference to the screen name notation of the lowest level (step S109). With the above operation, the process for one screen to be evaluated is completed. Next, if an unprocessed screen still exists (Yes in step S110), the process returns to step S101, the screen to be processed next is selected, and the same operation is repeated. When there is no unprocessed screen (No in step S110), the GUI information extraction unit 3 ends the GUI information extraction operation.
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a screen name determination operation performed by the screen name determination unit 4.

- a screen set to be processed is selected from the screen sets with matching screen names at all levels.
- Step S203 For example, “AAA” is added as the screen name of level 0 and “BBB” is added as the screen name of level 1 and screen set 1 is composed of two or more screens, and the screen name of level 0 is “ If there is a screen set 2 consisting of two or more screens with "AAA" and "CCC" as the level 1 screen name, process either screen set 1 or screen set 2 What is necessary is just to select to the screen set made into object.
- the screen name determination unit 4 compares the constituent elements between the screens included in the processing target set (step S204). As a result of the comparison, if there is a difference in the constituent elements (in this example, if there is a different part in the type or text content (data content) between the constituent elements having the same arrangement order) (Yes in step S205), the corresponding It is determined that “there is a problem” in the uniqueness of the screen names between the screens (step S107).
- the screen name is determined to be “attention (possibly there is a problem)” (step S108).
- step S208 The identity determination of the components in steps S204 to S207 is repeated for all screen combinations included in the screen set to be processed (No in step S208, returning to step S204).
- the process returns to step S203, and the next processing target Select a set of screens to repeat and repeat the same operation.
- the screen name determination unit 4 displays screens (other screens) not included in the screen set. And “no problem” or “attention” are determined as “no problem” (step S210).
- step S202 if there is no set having the same screen name (No in step S202), the process proceeds to step S210 as it is and it is determined that there is no problem for all the screens.
- the evaluator uses any of the evaluation target screens and designates the location where the information corresponding to the screen name is written and the level of the information written in the location in the screen name via the input / output means 1.
- an operation for designating the window title part (area A11) as the screen name notation of level 0 is performed.
- an operation for designating a region (region A12) in which the upper left text on the screen is arranged as a screen name notation of level 1 is performed.
- the designation operation for level 0 can be omitted.
- the screen name designating unit 2 is based on the operation information of the operator input through the input / output means 1, information indicating the window title part as the level 0 screen name notation, and the screen as the level 1 screen name notation. Is generated as screen name designation information in association with information indicating the text area arranged at the upper left of the screen name. Also, for example, the evaluator specifies the text “Business System A” written in the window title part as the screen name of level 0, and the text “Application for business trip” written in the upper left of the screen is the screen name of level 1
- the screen name designating unit 2 may designate the area (area A11, A12) where each text is written as the screen name notation of the corresponding level based on the operation information.
- the GUI information extraction unit 3 sequentially acquires information on the evaluation target screens, and acquires screen names by level for each evaluation target screen based on the screen name designation information.
- “business system A”, which is the text written in the window title part (area A11) is extracted as the screen name of level 0 of the screen, and the top left of the screen
