Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily execute the test of an information processing system by preparing data the information processing system to execute a series of operation contents, which are shown by operation history read from an external storage device, at time intervals shown by operation time, outputting these data to the information processing system and executing the test of the system. CONSTITUTION:At the time of ordinary operation, when the operation is started from a character display input device 26 to an information processing system 10, an operation history collector 21 collects a series of the operation contents as the operation history together with the operation time and an operation history recorder 22 records the collected operation history to an external storage device 25. This operation is repeatedly executed until a system test start sign is given from the character display input device 26. When the system test start sign is given from the character display input device 26, an operation history reader 24 reads out the operation history recorded to the external storage device 25.
