Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining correlation between input and output messages in a system under test (SUT) is provided in the present invention. The SUT is provided with preset watch-points, and the running of the SUT is detected by triggering watch-points in a test platform at its run time. The method includes the steps of: upon detecting a message input operation, finding a variable that stores an input message, associating the variable with a tag of the input message, and adding a watch-point for the variable in the test platform; as well as, upon detecting network output operation, finding a variable that stores an output message of the SUT; and determining correlation between the output message and an input message according to a tag associated with the variable that stores the output message.
