PURPOSE: To automatically generate a test program by standardizing a test program generating process and its form.
CONSTITUTION: By a test item symbol library (a) generated by a test item symbol registering means 1 for registering a test item as a symbol, a test standard table library (b) generated by a test standard table registering means 2 for setting a test format, and a test standard value input means 3 for inputting data in accordance with the test item, kind corresponding test standard value data (c) is generated. Subsequently, by a test flow chart generating means 4 for generating a test flow chart, test flow chart plotting data (d) in which the generated flow chart is registered is generated and by a test program generating means 5, the test flow chart plotting data (d) is analyzed, and kind corresponding test standard value data (c) is read and a test program (e) is generated.
