Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an online processing system, particularly an online processing system such as a banking system, in which a program under test is created, and file access by a business processing program and file access by the program under test are performed.・Access is performed through mutually independent routes, and the input data distribution program distinguishes between data input for business processing and data input for testing or operator training. - This relates to an online processing system in which tests or operator training can be conducted in parallel during online processing by the business processing program.

Conventionally, in an online processing system such as a banking system, for example, when testing an online program, a separate system is configured and conducted separately from the online processing operation.

For this purpose, either the above-mentioned online processing system is not in operation, or a separate standby system is established and a device capable of online testing is incorporated into that system. ing.

In the former case, program testing is performed at night or on holidays after online work is completed, which poses problems such as scheduling constraints on data processing system use and securing operators.

In the latter case, the amount of capital investment is high, and if the system scale is relatively small, a sufficient configuration cannot be achieved.

As a result, the reliability of the system often decreases even though sufficient testing has not been performed.

In addition, training for terminal operators is generally carried out at a training center or the like using terminal equipment exclusively for training, but there is little flexibility in terms of training schedules and man-hours.

Therefore, it is desirable to be able to train using a general terminal device as needed during online business operations.
