Specifically, when the test module 11 is powered on to operate, the processing unit 111 executes the test program and tests the main board unit 12 to be tested, and the processing unit 111 displays the test information to be displayed in the process of executing the test program through the screen display unit 13 to display the display information, so that the current state of executing the test program by the processing unit 111 and the information to be input and returned can be known through the display information, for example: in the test process, a Serial Number (S/N), a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a power-off test, an input of a light-on result for confirming whether the light message of the hard disk indicator module 113 is normal, and an input of information such as whether the color of the screen display unit 13 is the same as the test information are required. In other words, during the process of executing the test program, the processing unit 111 needs to receive the required information before continuing to execute the test program.

The server apparatus 3 analyzes and decodes the display information displayed by the screen display unit 13 into a corresponding check message through the image analysis unit 31, and transmits the check message to the execution unit 32.
