Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional configuration diagram of a program test execution system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The program test execution system 10 of the present embodiment includes a program data file 30 in charge, a divided test execution unit 21, and a parallel test execution unit 22.

The assigned program data file 30 includes:
When the input / output device 20 generates and corrects a program, the name of the person in charge and the name of the corrected program are registered. FIG. 2 shows an example of the contents of the assigned program data file 30. As shown, the name of the person responsible for modifying the program 31
And the corrected program name 32 are registered in association with each other.

The division test execution means 21
When a process execution instruction for a processing program composed of a plurality of component programs is issued from 0, the program program refers to the assigned program data file 30 to determine whether the component program to be executed is the pre-correction program or the post-correction program. The data processing by the processing program is performed based on the input data and the update base database 51, and output data as the processing result is output, and the update result of the update base database 51 is updated to the updated database 52 or 53.
To store.

[0010] The parallel test execution means 22
When input data is inputted from 0 and a program test execution instruction is issued, input data for executing the pre-correction program and input data for executing the post-correction program are created,
Based on the respective input data and the update base database 51, the data processing by the pre-correction and post-correction programs is executed in parallel, and the output data as the execution result is output.
Are stored in the updated database 52 and the updated database 53, respectively.

Next, the operation of the program test execution system will be described. First, the operation of the division test execution unit 21 will be described with reference to the state diagram of FIG. 3 and the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 is an example showing a program state when a program test process is performed using the division test execution means 21 of the program test execution system 10. As a premise of the processing by the division test execution unit 21, four programs (modules) 1 to 4 (modules) 4 are registered in the division test execution unit 21 as shown in FIG. The modified program 2-1 is generated by modifying the program 2 of the person in charge A, and the program 3 of the person in charge B is modified.
It is assumed that the corrected program 3-1 is generated by the correction of the program 2, and the program 2-1 (after the correction) is newly registered for the program 2, and the program 3-1 (after the correction) is newly registered for the program 3.

Then, the assigned program data file 3
In 0, the name of the person in charge and the program name after correction are registered as a set. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the person in charge A and the program 2-1 and the person in charge B and the program 3-1 are registered in association with each other.

A case will be described in which the name of the person in charge (person in charge A) is input together with the input data 41-1 in the above state, and the execution of the processing is instructed. The instruction to execute the process includes an instruction as to whether the program corresponding to the input person in charge should be executed before or after the correction.

The division test execution means 21 receives an execution instruction including input data (person in charge A) (step 4).
01), program 2-
1 is determined (step 4).
02).

When there is no instruction, the program before modification is selected for all the programs other than those in charge of the person in charge A, and the program 2 before modification is selected for the program in charge of the person in charge A. The program is executed (step 403). That is, the program is executed by the call path (program 1, program 2, program 3, program 4) shown in FIG. By executing the program, data processing of the update base database 51 is performed based on the input data 41-1, the update result of the update base database 51 is stored in the updated database, and the output data (person in charge A) 61-1 is updated. It is output (step 404). The output data (person in charge A) 61-1 is data indicating a description of the update content of the update base database 51 or a change content of the input data by data processing.

If there is an instruction in step 402, the program data file 3
0 is searched by the name of the person in charge (step 405). As a result of the search, it is determined whether a correction program corresponding to the input person-in-charge name is registered in the responsible program data file 30 (step 406). If the correction program corresponding to the input person in charge is not registered in the responsible program data file 30, all the programs (program 1, program 2, program 3), and program 4 before correction are executed ( Step 403). In the example of FIG. 3, the person in charge A is input in the execution instruction, so that the answer to step 406 is YES.
For example, if the person in charge of the program 1 is input in the execution instruction, the result of step 406 is NO.

In step 406, if a correction program corresponding to the input person in charge is registered in the responsible program data file 30, the corrected program is selected for the program corresponding to the input person in charge. For the programs other than those in charge of the person in charge A, the program before correction is selected and the program is executed (step 407). That is, the program is executed by the call path (program 1, program 2-1, program 3, program 4) shown in FIG. Then, by executing the program, the input data 4
Data processing of the update base database 51 is performed based on 1-1, the update result of the update base database 51 is stored in the updated database, and output data (person in charge A) 61-1 is output (step 404). ).

As described above, the program before the modification is always selected and executed for the program which is not assigned by the person in charge based on the name of the person in charge entered in the execution instruction. Even if a program other than the program in charge of the person in charge (program 3 in the example of FIG. 3) is modified, the effect of the modification of the program other than the program in charge of the person in charge on the test results can be blocked. it can. In the example of FIG. 3, the test execution before the correction is first performed for all the programs, and then the test execution including the corrected program 2-1 is performed only for the program 2. The effect of the program 2-1 can be confirmed from the updated database or output data.

Next, the operation of the parallel test execution means 22 will be described with reference to the state diagram of FIG. 5 and the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 5 shows a program test execution system 1.
5 is an example showing a program state when a program test process is performed using the 0 concurrent test execution means 22. As a prerequisite for the processing by the parallel test execution means 22, the parallel test execution means 22 includes a program 2 before modification and a modified program 2-1 generated by modifying the program 2 of the person in charge A. Shall be registered. Assigned program data file 30
, The person in charge A and the corrected program 2-1 are registered in association with each other.

FIG. 5 is an example showing the flow of test data when the parallel test execution means 22 is used. When the parallel test execution means 22 receives the name of the person in charge and the input base data 45 included in the execution instruction sent from the input / output device 20 (step 601), the person in charge A refers to the program data file 30 in charge and It is confirmed that there is a program before and after the modification of the program in charge (step 602), and based on the input basis data 45, the input data 41-
1 and input data 4 for executing the modified program 2-1
1-2 is created (step 603).

Then, by executing the program 2 before the correction, the data processing of the update base database 51 is performed based on the input data 41-1. At the same time, the input data 41- 1, the data processing of the update base database 51 is performed (step 604).

The update result of the input data 41-1 is output data 61- as the processing result of the program 2 before correction by the input data 41-1 and the update base database 51.
1, the update result of the update base database 51 is stored in the post-update database 52, and the input data 41-2 as the input data 41-2 and the processing result of the program 2-1 corrected by the update base database 51.
Is output as output data 61-2, and the update result of the update base database 51 is
3 (step 605).

As described above, the input data for the pre-correction program and the post-correction program are created based on the input data input by the execution instruction, and the pre-correction and post-correction programs are executed in parallel by the respective data. , The comparison of test execution results can be performed simultaneously. As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the effect of a modification program other than the modification program to be tested can be cut off in the test confirmation of the modified program, so that it can be applied to other modification programs. There is no possibility that the test will be interrupted due to the influence or the test confirmation result will be abnormal. As a result, it is possible to confirm the influence caused only by the modification of the program to be tested, and it is possible to perform highly reliable test confirmation.

By executing the program processing including the program before the correction and the program processing including the program after the correction in parallel with respect to the same input data, the comparison of the execution results can be performed simultaneously.
