PURPOSE: To carry out the business work and a test operation in parallel with each other by attaining the pseudo use of a data base to a test business program under development.
CONSTITUTION: When a pseudo mode is pointed by a pseudo mode pointing part 7, a file access control part 10 of a control program 1 sets a pseudo mode for the file access of a test business work program 3 and starts a pseudo updating means 9 in a write mode to write the write data into an updating information accumulation means 11. In a read mode, the part 10 starts a pseudo retrieving means 8 to read out a data base 4 and also the means 11. Then the part 10 corrects the data on the base 4 with the data on the means 11 and returns this corrected data to the program 3 as the pseudo data. Thus the business work and a test operation are carried out in parallel with each other.
