  • Patent number: 6272543
    Abstract: The worker enters information regarding allocation objects, necessary to build a client-server system, from the problem input means 10. The worker also specifies in advance, through the characteristic input means 11, the characteristic the allocation result should have. The worker enters information necessary to get an effective allocation from the supplementary information input means 12. When the allocation means 13 receives information from the problem input means 10, characteristic input means 11, and supplementary information input means 12, it searches for an effective allocation result. The allocation means 13 then outputs the result to the allocation result output means 16, and the worker judges the result using the judgment result input means 15. The final allocation result output means 16 outputs the allocation result which is judged as the final allocation.

  • Patent number: 5828829
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention to provide a system test support system and a system test support method which allows a developer to make a significant test even when the input contents are determined by a plurality of transitions. To achieve this objective, the present invention, by virtue of a software operation specification input, allows a developer to enter a software operation specification using a state transition model. A test sequence is then set up from transition sequence from a plurality of transition sequences and identification setting up feature, subsequently sets up the object identification to indicate the objects associated with the transition. Input items containing an operation that causes an event for each transition and operation targets which indicate the type of object on which the operation will be performed, are set up.
