Abstract

A control sever electronically connects a test server via network interfaces. The test server includes multiple storage mediums that store multiple test programs for testing the test server. The control server includes a switching control unit. The switching control unit selects one storage medium from the storage mediums as a startup device of the test server, and sends a control command to run one or more test programs stored in the startup device. In response to receiving a test result from the test server, the switching control unit selects a next storage medium from the storage mediums as a new startup device, and runs one or more test programs stored in the new staring device until all the storage mediums have been selected as startup devices one by one.
