Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the program test efficiency by using a test data editing part, a test program start part, and a test result output part to perform the test of a business work processing program. CONSTITUTION:An input device consisting of a keyboard 1 and a CRT 2 is provided together with a storage 3, a processor 7 consisting of a test data editing part 4 which works with the information inputted from the input device, a test program start part 5 and a test result output part 6, and an output device 8. Then the input test data are edited to a program to be tested. This program is read and started and then executed based on the test data. The executing result of the program is edited and outputted. Thus a business work processing program can be easily tested and in a short time. Then the test efficiency is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a simple program test method for testing a large number of business processing programs running on a computer system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, computer systems are composed of a large number of programs, and testing them requires a large number of man-hours. In particular, testing of online business processing programs typically requires a large number of man-hours because an online network environment is used each time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the system construction process, the development of the control program and the business processing program proceed at the same time, so testing of the business processing program is postponed, putting pressure on the testing period.

In addition, especially in online business processing program testing, since an actual program operating environment is used, a large number of man-hours are required for preparation work for setting up the environment, operations for executing the program, and the like.

Furthermore, when a problem occurs in a program, it takes time to determine whether the problem is caused by the control program or the business processing program, which reduces testing efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The simple program test method of the present invention is realized by inputting and editing test data, starting a program to be tested and executing it according to the test data, and editing and outputting the execution result of the program.

Further, the program simple test method of the present invention includes: a test data editing section that edits input test data in accordance with a program to be tested; a test program starting section that reads and starts the program and executes it according to the test data; and a test result output unit that edits and outputs the execution results of the program.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the program simple test method includes an input device consisting of a keyboard 1 and a CRT 2, a storage device 3, a test data editing section 4 that operates based on information input from the input device, a test program starting section 5, and test results. The processing device 7 includes an output section 6 and an output device 8.

The input devices are a keyboard 1 and a CRT 2. The keyboard 1 inputs control commands for controlling the operation of the CRT 2, and also inputs instruction commands for instructing the processing device 7 to start processing. The CRT 2 displays the input data format on the screen, and the keyboard 1 can be used to input test data on the screen.

The storage device 3 stores a business processing program to be tested.

The test data editing section 4 operates according to instruction commands from the keyboard 1, and upon receiving the display instruction command, displays the test data on the CRT 2.
Display the data input screen and receive the input instruction command
The test data displayed at T2 is read out, edited so that the business processing program to be tested can be processed, and an instruction to start the business processing program to be tested is given to the test program starting section 5.

The test program starting section 5 is the test data editing section 4.
It operates in response to a startup instruction from the test data editing section 4, reads out the business processing program to be tested from the storage device 3, starts the business processing program to be tested, and transfers the test data edited by the test data editing section 4. Then, the test result output section 6 is instructed to output the test results.

The test result output unit 6 operates upon receiving an output instruction from the test program starting unit 5, edits the test results of the business processing program to be tested, and outputs the test results to the output device 8.

Output device 8 outputs the test results.

First, when testing a business processing program, a test data input screen is displayed on the CRT 2 by a display instruction command from the keyboard 1 to the test data editing section 4, and test data is created on the screen using the keyboard 1. Then, in response to an input command from the keyboard 1 to the test data editing section 4, the test data editing section 4 reads out the test data displayed on the CRT 2.
Edit the business processing program to be tested so that it can be processed.

To start the business processing program to be tested, first, the test data editing section 4 gives a start instruction to the test program starting section 5. The test program starting unit 5 reads out the business processing program to be tested from the storage device 3,
□Start the business processing program to be tested, and
The test data edited by the data editing section 4 is delivered to the business processing program to be tested.

The test results are first output from the test program starting section 5.
An output instruction is given to the test result output section 6 from the test result output section 6. The test result output unit 6 edits the test results of the business processing program to be tested so as to output them to the output device 8, and outputs them to the output device 8.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the simple program test method according to the present invention tests a business processing program using a test data input means, a test program startup means, and a test result output means. Testing of processing programs can be done easily and in a short time, etc.
It is effective in shortening the test period of business processing programs and improving test efficiency.
