Abstract
During a software designing operation, a designer accesses a level prescribing unit through an interaction managing control unit. The level prescribing unit provides the guidance to specification information and design parts, etc. at a desired design level. If the designer selects and inputs specification information or design parts, the design editor corresponding to the design specification information in a design editor unit is activated, so that the designer is guided and aided through a display to produce a desired software. At this time, the information about the state of the editing operation 'completed' or 'not completed' is stored with the directory. The designed document satisfying a specific condition, for example, a document determined to be 'design completed', is stored as a data base by a design data base storing unit. To update the information stored in the design data base, a design information inconsistency correction support unit presents the designer with the part of the information affected by the update, thereby supporting the correction.
