Test specification generation system and storage medium storing a test specification generation program

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. A test specification writing device outputs fixed output lines and test items generated by the first test item generation device and the second test item generation device, to generate a test specification file.
