Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve working efficiency and to shorten working time in confirming work for terminal equipment environment. CONSTITUTION:This device is a confirming device for the terminal equipment environment used in a computer system, and it is provided with hardware required for the execution of a job at every individual terminal equipment by referring to a Job pattern master 5 representing component constitional information classified by every job name, and a managing means 1 which generates a managing file 6 representing the constitution of software to operate the hardware. Also, it is comprised of a recognizing means 2 which recognizes the software to operate the hardware that should be in the terminal equipment based on the constitutional information in a generated managing file 6, and a test means 3 which tests the software recognized by using a test program 7 prepared in advance, and outputs a result to a test output file 8. In this way, the confirmation of the terminal equipment environment can be automatically performed, and confirmation omission or erroneous work can be prevented from occurring.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a terminal environment checking apparatus, and more particularly to checking a terminal environment used in a computer system and automating a test for checking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when checking a terminal device environment,
An operator manually creates a hardware configuration list for each task of the terminal device, and from the hardware configuration list, lists the necessary hardware configurations that should be in the terminal device. Check with the hardware configuration of.

Next, the operator judges the items necessary for the test for each hardware, conducts the test, and confirms whether or not there is an error in the current terminal device environment based on the test result. It was

[0004]

The above-mentioned conventional confirmation of the terminal device environment by the worker is performed by the operator in order to confirm whether or not there is an error in the current terminal device environment based on the test result. There is a drawback that leaks and work mistakes occur.

Further, since the operator manually judges the items required for the test and carries out the test, there is a drawback that much work time is required.

The present invention solves these drawbacks by
(EN) Provided is a terminal device environment confirmation device capable of confirming a terminal device environment in a short time by eliminating manual work by an operator, avoiding confirmation omissions and work mistakes, improving work efficiency.

[0007]

A terminal device environment confirmation device of the present invention is a terminal device environment confirmation device used in a computer system, and refers to business pattern information indicating parts configuration information for each business name. Management means for creating a management file indicating the hardware necessary for executing the business and the software configuration for operating this hardware for each terminal device, and the management means for creating the management file in the terminal device based on the configuration information of the created management file. A recognition means for recognizing software for operating the desired hardware and a test means for testing the software recognized by using a test program provided in advance and outputting a result are provided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal environment confirmation device of the present invention is
As shown in FIG. 1, hardware (for example, a display, a printer, etc.) for configuring a terminal device, software for operating this hardware, and jobs Management means 1 for creating a management file 6 for each terminal device from software, and the created management file 6
And a recognition means 2 for recognizing software and business software for operating the hardware that should be in the terminal device based on this information, and a test program 7 for testing the recognized software and business software. And a test means 7 for outputting the test result to the result output file 8 and the terminal system 4.

In this embodiment, the hardware A1 to A1 is used as the hardware for constructing the terminal device system.
An, and further, these hardware A1 to An
The software components B1 to Bn and the business software components C1 to Cn for operating are also provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment thus constructed will be described. First, a worker inputs a business name into the management means 1 to create a management file. The management unit 1 refers to the work pattern master 5 that stores the work configuration information for each work name, and as the necessary components for configuring the terminal device system 4, hardware, software components for operating this hardware, and business software components. And, hardware A1 to An, software components B1 to Bn, and business software components C1 to Cn
Search from.

Here, the hardware and software parts necessary for constructing the terminal device of this embodiment are hardware A1 and A3, software parts B1 and B3 for operating them, and business software parts C2 and C.
Assume four.

Then, the management file 6 showing the component information for each individual terminal device is created based on the retrieved result.

Next, the recognition means 2 reads the component information of the management file 6 and operates the above-mentioned hardware A1 and A3 and the hardware A1 and A3 as the components which should be present in the terminal device. Software component B
1, B3 and business software components C2, C4 are recognized.

Subsequently, the test means 3 tests the software components B1 and B3 and the business software components C2 and C4 recognized by the recognition means 2, so that the test programs TB1, TB3 and T are selected from the test programs 7.
C2 and TC4 are taken out and activated to automatically perform a test, and the test result is output to the result output file 8. As a result, the worker confirms the current terminal device environment based on the test results output to the result output file 8.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the operator inputs the required business name, and thereafter the management means 1, the recognition means 2 and the testing means 3 confirm the terminal environment. Since it is automatically executed, there is an effect that the omission of confirmation and the occurrence of work mistakes are eliminated, work efficiency is improved, and work time can be shortened.
