Abstract

After reading catalog data corresponding to test items previously stored in a recording medium via a medium handling unit, a correcting section retrieves a device address portion in the catalog data based on a table or the like, and corrects the device address portion in accordance with the actual hardware configuration or invalidates a command line in the catalog data, which includes the name of a device which is not used in the actual hardware configuration. A command developing section develops the corrected catalog data to an operator command by referring to a correlation table between the catalog data and operator command, which is stored in a correlation table storage. A program test is executed based on this developed operator command.
