A method, system, and computer program product for error detection and correction of query expressions are provided. The method extracts a first set of queries from a set of programs prior to query editing. A first word set is generated from the first set of queries. A second set of queries are extracted from the set of programs after query editing. A second word set is generated from the second set of queries. The method determines a set of differences for word pairs within the first word set and the second word set. A third word set is generated from one or more edited queries based on the set of differences. The method generates an error report for the third word set based on the third word set and the set of differences.

Query expression error detection and correction

A computer-implemented method for detecting code regions related to specific processes in an application is provided including obtaining a call-graph of an application, each node of the call-graph representing a program in the application and each edge of the call-graph representing a call between programs, detecting merge points in the call-graph where paths from different entry points are merged, dividing the call-graph into sub-call-graphs at the merge points to create a macro-call-graph, each node of the macro-call-graph representing each of the sub-call-graphs, detecting code regions related to specific processes in each program in the application based on variable names corresponding to the specific processes, setting an initial state to each entry point of the sub-call-graphs, and identifying sub-call-graphs related to each specific process by using dataflow analysis with the initial states and the code regions based on entry states of the sub-call-graphs.

Systems and methods for quality analysis of a source code are disclosed. The method includes obtaining plural comments included in the source code. Each of the plural comments includes at least one of plural predetermined words. Also the method extracts plural candidate comments which are comments obtained by excluding plural specific comments from the obtained plural comments. Each of the plural specific comments can be identified using a similarity between a source code fragment relating to any of the obtained plural comments and an adjacent source code fragment adjacent to the source code fragment. In addition, the method outputs an evaluation about incompletion of the source code. The evaluation is determined using the plural candidate comments.

Methods, apparatus and systems to keep a desired element properly addressed in a structured document in which particular elements are addressed, even if the structured document is modified. In an example embodiment, the invention comprises a difference computation unit for computing a difference between structured documents, and an XPath update unit for generating addressing information from addressing information that addresses a part of a particular structured document based on information on the difference computed by the difference computation unit, the generated addressing information addressing a corresponding part of the other structured document.

Data processing and difference computation for generating addressing information

A structure pattern candidate generating system is disclosed for automatically generating many kinds of complicated structure pattern candidates and facilitating selection of a structure pattern suitable for the purpose. When the system is provided with a structure pattern pointing to an element or an element set in a document logical structure of a structured document, that has been specified by a user, a method for determining an item to be edited determines an item to be edited among the items composing the structure pattern. A method for generating structure pattern candidates replaces the item to be edited with items in different expressions based on the document logical structure information about the structured document to generate structure pattern candidates. A method for generating a structure pattern candidate list arranges the generated structure pattern candidates based on a condition and index for display for giving selection criteria to the user to generate a structure pattern candidate list. If the system is provided with an item desired to be edited, that has been specified by the user for the structure pattern, the method for determining an item to be edited determines the item desired to be edited as the item to be edited.
