Claim 0:
1. A source code correction assistance apparatus comprising:
a storage device that stores an updated source code updated by a developer based on an input condition causing a defect to occur; and
an arithmetic operational device including one or more processors that executes:
a process of generating, as a template of an evaluation code for evaluating the updated source code, a template including a conditional branch sentence regarding each case of success or failure of the input condition,
a process of notifying a terminal of a predetermined evaluator of a creation request of the evaluation code based on the template,
a process of controlling an access to the updated source code by the evaluator in response to the creation request,
a process of receiving editing by the evaluator on a text of the conditional branch sentence in the template, and
a process of generating a list of input values for executing all control paths of the evaluation code after the editing, wherein the list of input values is generated in response to a determination by the evaluator that the specific conditional branch sentence is based on a boundary value of a variable that is unnecessary, and generating an evaluation code driver that automatically executes the evaluation code by inputting the input values.
