Abstract: A test specification generation system which utilizes a repository of design information entered in a design process so as to enhance operational efficiency of a testing process. A data analysis device reads statements written in the test configuration file, line by line, to thereby determine whether a read statement line is a fixed output line or a program output line. A test item determination device determines whether generation of a test item requires design information alone or not only the design information but also information from a standard test item file stored in a standard test item storage device. A first test item generation device generates test items based on information that the design information reading device obtained from tables of the design information, while a second test item generation device generates test items from the tables and the standard test item file.

Abstract: A screen layout corresponding to a transaction routine is input to a FORM, and an item and a code of design information corresponding to a screen input are generated as a table. A location of the screen input is associated with a record in a design information table, and the design information table is searched for based on the screen input to display a screen output, in a program design process prior to the program manufacturing process, so that pseudo operations of the transaction routine are performed on the screen. The present invention reduces an amount of feedback after a program is manufactured, by displaying a screen in a similar manner as in actual program execution, and verifying the program, in a program design process prior to a program manufacturing process of a transaction routine, and also makes program generation efficient, by inheriting data from the design process to the program manufacturing process.
