Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to record the state of an application to be logged of a client at a server and to evaluate the code efficiency for each change of state so as to consistently achieve optimal code efficiency. The operational log record system (1) of the present invention is configured with a client apparatus (3) and a server apparatus (2) for storing the operational log thereof, wherein a memory device (14) of the server apparatus and a storage device (16), via a communication interface (10), store a code table generation program (104) for generating a code table on the basis of an operational log transmitted from the client apparatus (3), a code function group (500) for coding the operational log, and the program state upon the client apparatus which has been estimated on the basis of the operational log. The memory device (14) of the client apparatus (3) stores the code table which has been transmitted from the server apparatus (2), an application group to be logged (110), and an operational log acquisition program (108) for acquiring the operational log. The server apparatus (2) stores away the operational log which has been received from the client apparatus (3) in a sequential storage device (16) as the operational log.
