Abstract: We have proposed the concept of environment-adaptive software that automatically converts and operates program code once written so that it can be used appropriately in the environment in which it is placed. This paper proposes a new element of environment-adaptive software, a method that analyzes the code of general-purpose programs and allows users to add and change the processing they want to perform. The proposed method divides the application on the basis of related processes and localizes changes on the basis of the division boundaries, making it easier to add and change services. We check that the sample applications can be automatically divided using the proposed method, compare the number of lines in the divided file group and the original file group, and show that the scope of checking the change impact when adding the process that the user wants to perform becomes smaller.
