Abstract: - In recent years, large-scale-sizing and complication of software development are being followed wholeheartedly. On top of that fast delivery and low cost developments are being required as compared to up to now, and the environments, which surround software development are becoming more severe. For this reason, the industry is demanding high talented people with potentials of practical senses from the universities. For this reason, Shibaura Institute of Technology Information Engineering Department, in order to master the knowledge and technology for software development, is carrying out the group exercise class of the software development, which adopts a style more close to actual exercise. The group exercise can lower the burden of the teaching person regarding the instructions to students than the instructions for individual exercise, but it is difficult for giving instructions matching with every student's capacity. In addition, since the school hours assigned to software engineering are insufficient, it becomes important to prepare the environments where a student can exercise also out of school hours. Moreover, the goal of a exercise class is to acquire the knowledge and skill for software development on the individual level of a student. Therefore the authors having multi functions that were necessary for support to the group exercise and a high possibility to be included in the group exercise, developed group exercise supporting circumstances EtUDE[1] (Environment for Ultimate software Development Exercise) of the software development with function to automatically detect the student requiring individual instructions.
