Abstract

PURPOSE:To extremely shorten the data changing time and to improve the working efficiency in the system by separating the data from its executing part and therefore requiring the change of only the changed part of a data part when a test diagnostic program is changed or added. CONSTITUTION:An input means 20 which starts a test reads a data part into an area set previously for the test diagnostic program stored in an external storage 10. Then the entire data part read into the means 20 is converted into such a form that can be processed by a computer via a changing means 30 and then held as it is. Then the data part held by the means 30 is read into a test executing means 40, and a test is carried out by a CPU 60. If the change of data is requested, the data is changed by the means 40 and the second test is carried out. Then the changed data is stored in the storage 10 as long as no problem is confirmed. Thus it is possible to extremely shorten the data changing time and to improve the working efficiency in a test diagnostic system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a test diagnosis method for an information processing device, and particularly to a test diagnosis method for an information processing device that allows easy modification and addition of test data.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of test diagnosis program had a data section and a test section integrated. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional test diagnostic program described above has the data section and the test section integrated, when the data section is changed or added, the entire data section can be processed by the computer using the programming language. Because it has to be converted into a language like
For example, in the case of a large program, even if 1% of the program is modified, the entire program must be repaired, which requires a large amount of time and is extremely inefficient.

[Means to solve the problem]

A test diagnosis device for an information processing device according to the present invention includes an input means for reading data from a data section stored in an external storage device at the time of starting a test, and converting the data read by the input means into data that can be processed by a computer. A test execution means including a conversion means that performs the conversion and vice versa, a test execution unit that executes a computer test using the converted data, and a test execution means that includes a test execution unit that executes a computer test using the converted data, and a test execution means that performs arbitrary changes or changes according to an operator's instructions or an external request. and output means for adding data to be added onto external storage.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention.

This embodiment includes an external storage device 10, an input means 20, a conversion means 30, a test execution means 40, an output means 50,
It has a central processing unit 60.

When the test is started in response to an instruction from the operator, the input means 20 reads the data part (hereinafter referred to as the data part) for the test diagnostic program stored in the external storage device 10 into a preset area ( Note that the data section includes test data and expected value data). Next, all the data portions read into the input means 20 are converted into a form that can be processed by the computer using a conversion step 30 and are held. Subsequently, the test execution means 40 reads the data part held in the conversion means 30, and the central processing unit 60 executes the test. After execution, if a change is requested by an operator or from outside, the test execution means 40 changes the data and executes the test again.

After the re-execution, if there is no problem, the converted data part is converted by the conversion means 30 to be stored in the external storage device 10, and is stored in the external storage device 10 via the output device 50.

The details of the processing will be explained below using the flowchart shown in FIG. Initially, according to the operator's instructions,
When the test is started, the input means 20 reads the data section from the external storage device 10. Next, all the data parts read into the input means 20 are converted and held. Next, test execution means 4
0, the data held in the converting means 30 is read in, and the central processing unit 60 executes a test on the test data l data at a time. After the test is executed, the result value after the execution is compared with the expected value data read into the test execution means 40, and if they do not match, an error message is displayed on the screen for each error. If all the data match and there are no errors, the process ends.

If an error message appears on the screen and the operator changes the data, try again. When the test is executed after the data has been changed, if the result value and the expected value data match and the test is completed normally, only the changed data is changed by the converting means 30 into a form that can be stored in the external storage device 10. , the external storage device 10 via the output means 50
is stored in

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when a test diagnostic program is changed or added, by separating the data and the execution part, only the changed part of the data part needs to be changed, which makes it possible to replace the conventional overall system. This has the effect of significantly reducing change time and dramatically increasing work efficiency compared to the method of changing.
