1. A process for automatically producing software for a computer using a plurality of components which exist in executable code, comprising the steps of:

  • providing an input interface for each of the components in which respective methods of each of the components are defined which can be called and implemented as part of the respective component;

    providing an output interface for each of the components in which respective data formats are defined for data of a respective event as a result of implementation of one of a respective method and a respective component, and in which respective further methods are defined which can be called in the respective component but are not executably contained in the respective component;

    depicting, in a graphical editor, a symbol corresponding to one of the components having a respective input interface and a respective output interface;

    offering a selection option for directional linking of an output interface of one of the components to an input interface of another of the components; and

    producing a program code linking the one component to the another component based on links made.
