Test input information search device and method
First Claim
1. A method that improves functional testing of a computer system that accesses a database, the method comprising:
- retrieving information from the database including a plurality of elements configured with a first structure;
retrieving screen information including the plurality of elements configured with a second structure and displayed;
identifying, from the second structure, a relation between the elements in the plurality of elements included in the screen information, determining a candidate for test inputting from the information from the database based on the relation identified between the elements; and
testing the database by inputting the candidate into the computer system and evaluating a response in the computer system caused by the inputting;
wherein the second structure includes a display positional relation between the elements in the plurality of elements included in the screen information and attributes of the elements, and the candidate is further determined based on the attributes of the elements in addition to the relation identified between the elements.

Abstract
A test input information search device searches for a candidate for test inputting in a database, and stores information of the database including a plurality of elements configured with a first structure, stores screen information including the plurality of elements configured with a second structure and displayed, identifies, from the second structure, relation between the elements in the plurality of elements included in the screen information, and searches for, based on the identified relation between the elements, the plurality of elements as the candidate for the test inputting from the information of the database.

8. An apparatus that improves functional testing of a computer system that accesses a database, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface communicatively coupled to the database;
a processor communicatively coupled to the communication interface, wherein the processor;
retrieves, using the communication interface, a plurality of elements configured with a first structure from the database, retrieves, using the communication interface, screen information that includes the plurality of elements configured with a second structure and displayed, identifies, from the second structure, relation between the elements in the plurality of elements included in the screen information, determines a candidate for test inputting from the information in the database based on the relation identified between the elements, and test the database by inputting the candidate into the computer system and evaluating a response in the computer system caused by the inputting;wherein the second structure includes a display positional relation between the elements in the plurality of elements included in the screen information and attributes of the elements, and the candidate is further based on the attributes of the elements in addition to the relation identified between the elements. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
