Abstract

A load test apparatus includes a computer which is implemented with an operating system having a window management function, and can be connected to a network device to be tested through an information network, and a terminal emulation program used to direct a computer to perform a first function for providing an execution environment in an MDI system of an application in a plurality of virtual terminals in a first window, and a second function capable of generating a plurality of second windows which cannot be discriminated by the window management function in the first window by managing independently from the operating system the second window generated in the first window. The terminal emulation program is executed by the computer to access to the network device from the plurality of virtual terminals, thereby conducting a load test.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a terminal emulation program for load test of network device, and used to direct a computer to realize:

generating a plurality of virtual terminals in a multiple document interface (MDI) container of a computer wherein, in said computer, an operating system having a window management function is implemented;

activating WEB browsers in each said plurality of virtual terminals by an MDI system;

executing said WEB browsers to access said network device;

issuing, by at least one WEB browser of said WEB browsers in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals, a request to open a window of said WEB browser to said operating system;

capturing, by said window management function, a command issued from said operating system to open said window of said WEB browser related to said request;

issuing, by said window management function, a cancellation of said command to open said window of said WEB browser issued by said operating system; and

performing, by said window management function, a process of opening said window of said WEB browser in one of said plurality of virtual terminals generated in said MDI container under a control of said window management function, said opened window having a window named, independently from said operating system,

wherein

in said performing, a window property table stored in a storage unit is used to perform said process of opening said window of said WEB browser in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals in said MDI container said window property table at least including a virtual terminal management number for identification of the window as to which it belongs in a plurality of virtual terminals generated by the MDI container, a window management number in a virtual terminal for management of the window in each virtual terminal, a window name for internal management storing the name of the window for management of a window independent of the operating system and a parent window pointer for internal management indicating from which window the window has been opened.

2. A load test method of network device, comprising:

generating a plurality of virtual terminals in a computer providing an execution environment in a multiple document interface (MDI) container, wherein, in said computer, an operating system having a window management function is implemented;

activating WEB browsers in each of the plurality of virtual terminals by an MDI system;

executing said WEB browsers to access said network device;

issuing, by at least one WEB browser of said WEB browsers in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals, a request to open a window of said WEB browser to said operating system;

capturing, by said window management function, a command issued from said operating system to open said window of said WEB browser related to said request;

issuing, by said window management function, a cancellation of said command to open said window of said WEB browser issued by said operating system; and

performing, by said window management function, a process of opening said window of said WEB browser in one of said plurality of virtual terminals generated in said MDI container under a control of said window management function, said opened window having a window named, independently from said operating system, wherein

in said performing, a window property table stored in a storage unit is used to perform said process of opening said window of said WEB browser in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals in said MDI container, said window property table at least including a virtual terminal management number for identification of the window as to which it belongs in a plurality of virtual terminals generated by the MDI container, a window management number in a virtual terminal for management of the window in each virtual terminal, a window name for internal management storing the name of the window for management of a window independent of the operating system and a parent window pointer for internal management indicating from which window the window has been opened.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

recording at least an access history information by an actual physical terminal to the network device;

wherein the executing executes WEB browsers to access the network device according to the recorded access history information.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein an operation log recording an access progress from an actual terminal to the network device is collected, and access to the network device from each of the plurality of virtual terminals is controlled based on the operation log, thereby conducting the load test.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a terminal emulation program for load test of network device, and used to direct a computer to realize:

generating a plurality of virtual terminals in a computer wherein, in said computer, an operating system having a window management function is implemented and which is connected to a network device to be tested over an information network;

activating WEB browsers in each of the plurality of virtual terminals by a multiple document interface (MDI) system;

executing said WEB browsers to access said network device;

issuing, by at least one WEB browser of said WEB browsers in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals, a request to open a window of said WEB browser to said operating system;

capturing, by said window management function, a command issued from said operating system to open said window of said WEB browser related to said request;

issuing, by said window management function, a cancellation of said command to open said window of said WEB browser issued by said operating system; and

performing, by said window management function, a process of opening said window of said WEB browser in one of said plurality of virtual terminals generated in said MDI container under a control of said window management function, said opened window having a window named, independently from said operating system, wherein

in said performing, a window property table stored in a storage unit is used to perform said process of opening said window of said WEB browser in each of said plurality of said virtual terminals in said MDI container, said window property table at least including a virtual terminal management number for identification of the window as to which it belongs in a plurality of virtual terminals generated by the MDI container, a window management number in a virtual terminal for management of the window in each virtual terminal, a window name for internal management storing the name of the window for management of a window independent of the operating system and a parent window pointer for internal management indicating from which window the window has been opened.
