Provided are an apparatus and method for developing software. More particularly, provided are a software development apparatus and method enabling prediction of non-functional performance, such as execution time, as well as functional performance of each constituent module in a software development process. The apparatus includes: an Application Programming Interface (API) performance index database (DB) for storing performance information on APIs; a performance DB constructor for separately executing APIs used in a source code of a module to measure performance, and storing performance information on the respective APIs in the API performance index DB; an editor for editing the source code of the module and displaying performance of the module; and a code performance analyzer for receiving the source code of the module from the editor, calculating the performance of the module with reference to the API performance index DB, and providing the calculation result to the editor. The apparatus and method allow a developer to readily predict performance of an under-writing module of under-development software and write a code complying with required performance. |
