Problems solved by technology

Having to refine the system requirements is one of the most serious problems that might occur, because any modification to the requirements necessitates a redevelopment of the source code, starting the process all over again.
Thus, the testing and debugging phase is the longest phase in the software engineering process and the most difficult to estimate completion times.
Nevertheless, some mismatch between the problem space and the solution space remains, which gives rise to an opportunity for programming errors.
Because of the programming errors, it is necessary to undergo an extensive testing and debugging phase to isolate and fix the software faults.
Combining structured and objected-oriented techniques in a single method, however, makes it difficult to clarify the method semantics; thus, effective tool support is necessary for checking consistency.
Although these approaches are of some help for the first phase, i.e. in refining the requirements before the computer application is coded, they do not address the main source for the lack of productivity during later phases of ...

Embodiment Construction

to Create a Conceptual Model for a Software Program to Manage Expense Reporting by Employees, Expense Report Approvals and Payments

[0224] Requirements: The Problem to be Managed by the Computer Program to be Automatically Generated

[0225] The system will manage the expense reporting of employees, expense approvals and payments.

[0226] Expenses will reflect both: pattern currency and its equivalent to other currency. Expense line for user input of an expense will only allow input in the pattern currency.

[0227] Employees may present an expense report when they have supported expenses on behalf of the company. Typically, the expenses are associated to a certain project or specific task.

[0228] At presenting the expense report, supporting tickets and receipts will be attached and prior expense advances will be reflected. Advances must be discounted out from the expense report balance.

[0229] The expense report, once presented, must be authorized by a manager responsible for payment of expen...

Abstract

An automated software production system is provided, in which system requirements are captured, converted into a formal specification, and validated for correctness and completeness. In addition, a translator is provided to automatically generate a complete, robust software application based on the validated formal specification, including user-interface code and error handling code.
