Abstract

A help creation support apparatus includes: an identification unit to identify a operational component included in a graphical interface based on source code of the graphical interface; a generation unit to generate management information including identification information that represents the identified operational component; a storage unit to store the management information; an input unit to input a help corresponding to the operational component to be added to the management information stored in the storage unit for identification information; and a file creation unit to create a file in which the help corresponding to the operational component is stored based on management information to which the help is added.

Claims

1. A help creation support apparatus comprising:

an identification unit to identify a operational component included in a graphical interface based on source code of the graphical interface;

a generation unit to generate management information including identification information that represents the identified operational component;

a storage unit to store the management information;

an input unit to input a help corresponding to the operational component to be added to the management information stored in the storage unit for identification information; and

a file creation unit to create a file in which the help corresponding to the operational component is stored based on management information to which the help is added.

2. The help creation support apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a detection unit to compare first identification information in management information based on not-updated source code with second identification information in management information based on updated source code and to detect an added or deleted operational component based on a comparison result; and

a notification unit to notify the detected operational component.

3. The help creation support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the detection unit compares the not-updated source code and the updated source code and detects an operational component having a changed processing.

4. The help creation support apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising,

a template creation unit to create a source code template including a process of causing the operational component to displaying the help corresponding to the operational component.

5. A method for creating a help, comprising:

causing a computer to execute operation of;

identifying component operational component included in a graphical interface based on source code of the graphical interface;

generating management information including identification information that represent the identified operational component;

storing the management information in a storage unit;

adding a help which is input for the identification information to the management information; and

creating a file to store a help corresponding to the operational component based on management information having the added help.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

comparing first identification information in management information based on not-updated source code with second identification information in management information based on updated source code;

detecting an added or deleted operational component based on a comparison result; and

notifying the detected operational component.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein an operational component whose operation has been changed is detected by comparing the not-updated source code and the updated source code.

8. The method for creating a help according to claim 5, further comprising,

creating a source code template including a process of causing the operational component to displaying the help corresponding to the operational component.

9. A storage medium storing a program cause a computer to:

identify component operational component included in a graphical interface based on source code of the graphical interface;

generate management information including identification information that represent the identified operational component;

store the management information in a storage unit;

add a help which is input for the identification information to the management information; and

create a file to store a help corresponding to the operational component based on management information having the added help.

10. The storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the program cause the computer to:

compare first identification information in management information based on not-updated source code with second identification information in management information based on updated source code;

detect an added or deleted operational component based on a comparison result; and

notify the detected operational component.

11. The storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the program cause the computer to,

create a source code template including a process of causing the operational component to displaying the help corresponding to the operational component.
