Abstract

A simulator apparatus collects communication information on a transmission line by a line information collecting module, extracts the communication information between a server and clients from the collected communication information by an information extracting module, and further discriminates the communication information necessary for a simulation on a protocol unit basis from the communication information and converts to a simulating procedure by a procedure converting module. A simulation processing module performs a simulating operation of the client for the server in accordance with a simulation definition file of the simulating procedure and operating conditions and stores an operating situation to a performance log file.
