■ Online business program to be tested before modification (
In order to extract the transaction record during actual operation in the online business program to be tested (hereinafter simply referred to as online business program) from the actual operation transaction record file 1, the input unit 7 inputs the transaction record to the actual operation extraction unit 2. An operation signal (command) is input.

This operation signal is sent from the input section 7 to the extraction section 2 during actual operation.

Based on this operation signal, the actual operation extraction unit 2 extracts the input messages from the transaction records of the online business program before modification in the actual operation transaction record file l in the order of transaction completion, and extracts the input messages from the input message file. Store in 3.

In addition, the actual operation extraction unit 2 sequentially extracts transaction records related to transactions generated by the extracted input message from the actual operation transaction record file l, and executes the transaction records as comparison information (in the format of a comparison information record). It is stored in the operating comparison information file 8.

Through these operations, input messages during actual operation are extracted into the input message file 3 in the order of transaction execution (order of transaction completion during actual operation), and transaction records regarding these transactions are stored in the actual operation comparison information file 8. Comparison information indicating all of the above is extracted.

(2) In order to start the reprocessing of the modified online business program based on the input message extracted into the input message file 3, the input unit 7 receives an operation signal for the reprocessing start instruction unit 4.

This operation signal is sent from the input section 7 to the reprocessing start instruction section 4.

The reprocessing start instruction unit 4 reads the input messages one by one from the input message file 3 based on this operation signal in order to test the operation of the modified online business program. Instructs to start a transaction in an online business program.

Here, since the reprocessing start instruction unit 4 does not start the transaction generated by the next input message until the transaction generated by one input message ends, the transaction execution order during testing and the transaction execution order during actual operation are completely in sync with.

In this way, the operation confirmation test of the modified online business program is performed using the same input message and in the same transaction execution order as during actual operation.

In the course of such reprocessing, the reprocessing start instruction unit 4 saves the test transaction records to the test transaction record file 5.
