Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an online test device, and more particularly to an online test device used to test the operation between information processing devices connected via a communication line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an online system including a plurality of information processing devices connected via a communication line, an OS is
File transfer and other information transfer are performed using a standard protocol such as I or TCP / IP or a protocol defined by the manufacturer. In this type of conventional online test equipment, a test program involving a series of multiple operations is operated or is normally used to test whether the transfer of such information is operating normally. Although the communication execution instruction is tested using such a program, the execution result of the abnormality is output only when the operation is abnormal.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-mentioned conventional online test apparatus, a series of tests are executed,
Since the execution result of the instruction is output when the processing is executed and an error occurs, when some instructions are executed due to the execution instruction of the previous communication instruction that causes such an error, If an error occurs in the execution result of the communication command, there is a drawback that it is not clear which communication command has the true cause of the error. Alternatively, when an error is not detected during the execution of the test program and it seems that the test program terminated normally, but the processing result is abnormal, it is extremely difficult to find out which communication command has an error. It has the drawback of being difficult.

It is an object of the present invention to execute communication commands one by one and display the commands and the execution results so that it is possible to easily know which communication command has an error when an error exists. To provide simple online test equipment.

An online test device of the present invention is formed by a plurality of information processing devices connected via a communication line and mutually exchanges data processed in each of the information processing devices. In an online test device that is included in an online system having a function of transmitting, and executes a communication command related to transmission and reception of the data, that tests whether or not the communication command is normally performed,
A built-in keyboard for inputting a communication command instruction code and information associated with the communication command command code, and a table for storing a communication command corresponding to the communication command command code in advance in association with the communication command command code Input data for extracting a communication command corresponding to the communication command instruction code by referring to the table when the communication command instruction code and the accompanying information are input from the keyboard and outputting together with the accompanying input information An analysis unit, an execution unit that receives the output from the input data analysis unit, executes a communication command, receives the execution result of the communication command, and outputs the result, and executes a communication procedure according to the command executed by the execution unit. A communication control unit that receives the execution result and outputs the result to the execution unit, and another unit via a communication line according to the output of the communication control unit. The communication control device that inputs and outputs data to and from the information processing device, and the output from the input data analysis unit and the execution result output from the execution unit as input, and edits the results according to predetermined specifications. An editing unit for outputting and a display unit for displaying the output from the editing unit are provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the online test apparatus of the present invention.

The online test apparatus of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, a keyboard 1 for inputting a code for instructing a communication command, that is, a communication command instruction code and accompanying information necessary for executing the communication command, the input command and its execution result are displayed. Display unit 2
And the input data analysis unit 4 for collating the code and other information input from the keyboard 1 with the contents of the built-in table to generate and output a communication command, and the communication command received from the input data analysis unit 4 and described later. The execution unit 5 receives the execution result, edits it according to a predetermined specification and outputs the result, and executes the process based on the communication command received from the input data analysis unit 4 and the accompanying information received at the same time. Information including the execution unit 6 that receives the executed result and outputs the result to the editing unit 5 described above, the communication control unit 7 that outputs the communication procedure according to the instruction executed by the execution unit 6, and the components described so far. It is composed of a processing device and a communication control device 3 for transmitting and receiving signals to and from another information processing device connected to the information processing device via a communication line.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining an example of the operation of the online test apparatus shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a table showing the correspondence between the communication instruction code and the communication instruction incorporated in the input data analysis unit 4. It is explanatory drawing of the content of.

In step (hereinafter referred to as S) 1, 3 is input as a communication command instruction code from the keyboard 1, and the content of the data is the communication command corresponding to this code and the accompanying information necessary for data transmission. When the data length and the like are input, the input data analysis unit 4 refers to a built-in table and generates a communication command called data transmission which is a communication command stored in association with this communication command instruction code. Output to the editing unit 5 and the execution unit 6 (S
2). The contents of the data and the data length described above are also included in this command. Similarly, keyboard 1 to 9
When is input, the input data analysis unit 4 outputs a communication command of ending as a communication command.

The output of the input data analysis unit 4 is output to the editing unit 5 and the execution unit 6. The editing unit 5 temporarily stores this, and the execution unit 6 executes and executes the input communication command. The result is received via the communication control device 3 and the communication control unit 7 and output to the editing unit 5 (S4).

The editing unit 5 has predetermined a communication command which has already been received from the input data analysis unit 4 and is temporarily stored therein, information input in accordance with this communication command, and the above-mentioned execution result output by the execution unit 6. Editing is performed according to the specifications, and the edited result is output to the display unit 2 (S5).

As is clear from the above description of the embodiment,
It is possible to input each communication command with the keyboard 1, display the execution result for each communication command, and know the content of the execution result.

[0014]

As described above, the online test apparatus of the present invention inputs communication commands one by one, and acquires and displays the execution result together with the input communication commands so that each communication command performs a desired operation. Since it is possible to confirm whether or not the error has occurred, it is possible to easily find out which communication command causes the error when the error exists.
