Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to execute testing to accurately reproduce problems of a TCP/IP protocol without mistakes without knowledge or skilled techniques of the TCP/IP protocol and reduce effort required for carrying out testing. The traffic generation apparatus 32 sends the test traffic data 55 to the testing server apparatus 41. The response traffic data 57 which is the response data of this test traffic data 55 is processed in a pseudo-communication environment constructed in the communication network emulator apparatus 37 to reproduce problems of the TCP/IP protocol. Settings and control for realizing this reproduction are automatically carried out by the testing control apparatus 44 using predetermined setting information 45a, 45b, 45c and control information 47a, 47b and 47c.

Abstract: A reasoning method capable of easily describing a model of diagnosis, a diagnosis method based on the reasoning method and a fault diagnosis system for performing efficiently faulty component diagnosis. Basic knowledge of a domain for which a knowledge base is used, expert's heuristic knowledge and meta-level knowledge for determining a scheme of use of the basic knowledge and the heuristic knowledge are provided. Fault diagnosis is performed for an objective of interest by executing a combination of reasoning based on the basic knowledge and reasoning based on the heuristic knowledge, in accordance with the meta-level knowledge.

Abstract: A program data managing apparatus comprising memories for storing as program data a source code, technique data on a process for making the source code, and intention data on intention to make the source code; a link indicative of the mutual relationship between program data; a display for displaying the relationship between the program data using the link; a link provided to indicate the relationship between a newly developed source code and the original program data from which the new source code derives; and a display for displaying the source code developed stepwise by that link and the related program data.
