A scenario display method, apparatus and computer program for displaying in a current scene, included as one of a plurality of sequential scenes of a scenario, information indicating relations between the current scene and scenes occurring before and after the current scene. Relation information is stored indicating relations between actors, resources and actions performed by the actors on the resources with respect to the scenes. Information of a current scene including actors, resources and actions performed by the actors on the resources is displayed. A retrieval operation is performed to retrieve information indicating relations between the resource of the current scene and actions performed on the resources of the current scene by actors in scenes occurring before and after the current scene. The retrieved information is displayed in the current scene.

Scenario display method and apparatus

On a computer, components forming a development subject are arranged on a scenario editor by using basic component parts, and the component data are set. And a procedure call sequence is defined by specifying procedures of defined components in order of call. The call sequence data is generated in the computer as scenario data. Then, the defined group of scenarios are selected and reflected on the model editor. A whole requirement is created. At that time, a procedure name to be called subsequently on the connection line between components is acquired from the defined procedure sequence data, and a program for effecting animation is generated. Finally, by executing the generated animation program, the procedure call sequence is displayed in an animation form and the requirement is created. By interactive operation alone of the screen using the scenario editor and the model editor, therefore, the requirement of the development subject from the customer can be easily acquired and the whole requirement can be created.
