AUTOMATIZING SYSTEM FOR TEST DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM OF INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To shorten both test and maintenance time by selecting and executing automatically a test executing part to be executed in accordance with the relation of each test executing part registered in advance when an error is detected in the test executing part. CONSTITUTION:As for tables which a test executing part relation managing means 5 has, there are a test executing part name table 13 and a test result code table 14. By using an executed test executing part name as a key and retrieving the test executing part name table 13, a head address and an end address of an area in the test result code table 14 corresponding to the test executing part are obtained. Subsequently, by using a test result code as a key and retrieving extending from the head to the end address in the test result code table 14 obtained from the test executing part name table 13, the test executing part name to be executed is obtained. In the case when the record concerned does not exist as a result of retrieval of the test result code, in accordance with its relation, the text executing part to be executed in the next time is handled by deciding it not to exist. In such a way, it does not takes a long time for executing a test.
