The comment field 52 is a field for accepting comments input by the worker. When the screenshot is taken, the information of the image file of the screenshot is automatically registered in the comment field 52 by the control unit 25.

The worker input field 53 is a field for receiving input of the name of the worker who performs the confirmation work of the display error from the worker. The version input field 54 is a field for receiving input of information on the version of the computer program for which a display error is detected from the operator. The screen number column 55 is a column in which the number of the game screen for confirming the presence or absence of a display error is displayed.

The mask check column 56 is a column for receiving an instruction from the operator to remove the mask image displayed superimposed on the game screen. If the mask check column 56 is checked, the entire game screen can be confirmed by removing the check. Also, by checking again, the mask image can be superimposed and displayed on the game image again.

The back button 57a and the next button 57b are buttons for advancing the work of confirming whether or not there is a display error in the previous item and the next item, respectively.

For example, if the back button 57a is pressed by the operator when the confirmation work for the item of item number 2 shown in FIG. 2 is being performed, the work can be returned to the confirmation work for the item of item number 1. .. Similarly, when the next button 57b is pressed by the operator when the confirmation work for the item of the item number 2 is being performed, the work can proceed to the confirmation work for the item of the item number 3.

The control unit 25 displays the confirmation item data 24a shown in FIG. 2 on the display unit 23, accepts the selection of the item to be confirmed by the operator on the display screen, and performs the confirmation work of the item. You may move it.

The OK button 58a is a button pressed by the operator when there is no error in the display as a result of confirmation. The NG button 58b is a button pressed by the operator when there is an error in the display as a result of confirmation.

The hold button 58c is a button pressed by the operator when holding the determination of whether or not there is a display error. When the hold button 58c is pressed by the operator, the control unit 25 takes a screenshot of the screen on which the mask images are superimposed, and the information of the image file is registered in the comment field 52. The screenshot may be taken manually by the operator.

The confirmation result information input by the operator is registered in the confirmation result data 24c shown in FIG. 6 by the control unit 25.

Returning to the description of FIG. 7, the control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display the game screen selected as the detection target of the display error by the operation of the operator (step S13).

Subsequently, the control unit 25 reads out the mask image corresponding to the game screen displayed on the display unit 23 from the mask images stored as the mask image data 24b in the storage unit 24 (step S14). Specifically, the control unit 25 reads out the mask image corresponding to the screen number in the confirmation item data 24a shown in FIG. Then, the control unit 25 superimposes the read mask image on the game screen and displays it (step S15).

After that, the control unit 25 accepts the input of the confirmation result in which the operator confirms the presence or absence of a display error (step S16). Specifically, it accepts the pressing operation of any of the OK button 58a, the NG button 58b, and the hold button 58c on the operation screen 50 shown in FIG.

Then, the control unit 25 determines whether or not the confirmation of the presence or absence of display errors has been completed for all the confirmation items (step S17).

When the confirmation of the presence or absence of a display error is not completed for all the confirmation items (NO in step S17), the processes after step S13 are executed for the items for which the confirmation has not been completed.

Specifically, the next button 57b on the operation screen 50 shown in FIG. 8 is pressed by the operator, and the game screen is advanced to the screen to be confirmed, so that there is no display error for the following items. It is confirmed whether or not.

When the confirmation of the presence or absence of display errors for all the confirmation items is completed (YES in step S17), this display error detection support process ends.

In the example of FIG. 4, it is assumed that there are two unmasked areas for one mask image, but there may be one unmasked area, or three or more areas. You may.

Further, the control unit 25 may associate the mask image with the additional information and register it in the mask image data 24b, and display the mask image together with the additional information.

Specifically, when there are three or more unmasked regions, the control unit 25 sets the frame of the related regions in the same color as additional information indicating the relevance of the related regions. It may be displayed or displayed with the same type of line so that the operator can easily check it.

Further, the control unit 25 may display the information of the explanation regarding the confirmation as additional information in association with the unmasked area. The explanatory information is, for example, explanations of precautions and supplementary items for confirmation, information on the name of the target displayed in the unmasked area, and the like.

Further, not only one mask image is prepared for one screen, but a plurality of mask images may be prepared.

For example, when there are many areas to be confirmed on one screen, the control unit 25 displays a plurality of mask images prepared for each area or a plurality of mask images prepared for each group of a plurality of areas. It may be switched sequentially and displayed on one screen.

As a result, the number of areas that the worker should check at one time can be reduced, and it is possible to prevent the worker from making a mistake in checking.
