Abstract

A test system for performing a test of a device is provided that comprises a source file of a test plan that describes a program for performing a test, and one or more of elements that are formed in a unit that divides the source file into one or more blocks. The test system further comprises an annotatable object that, when debugging of objects of the source file is performed, manages modification details of the debugging with reference to an element corresponding to a portion where the debugging is performed, and a controller that, after the debugging, rewrites the source file with details after the debugging is performed on an element basis based on the element and the annotatable object.

Claims (21)

1. A test system for performing a test of a device, the test system comprising:

a source file of a test plan that describes a program for performing a test;

one or more elements that are formed in a unit that divides the source file into one or more blocks;

an annotatable object that, when debugging of objects of the source file is performed, manages modification details of the debugging with reference to an element corresponding to a portion where the debugging is performed; and

a controller that, after debugging, rewrites the source file with details after the debugging is performed on an element basis based on the element and the annotatable object.

2. The test system according to claim 1 , wherein

the test plan comprises one or more source files, and

the one or more elements are created for each of the one or more source files.

3. The test system according to claim 2 , wherein the test system comprises:

source file information that that is associated with each file name of the one or more source files and manages a series of elements that correspond to that source file.

4. The test system according to claim 1 , wherein

separation of a block which is a unit in which the one or more elements are formed is determined based on a delimiter written in the source file.

5. The test system according to claim 1 , wherein

the debugging is performed using a GUI tool.

6. A method of performing back annotation processing for reflecting modification details of debugging in an original source file in a test system for performing a test of a device,

a controller of the test system comprising the steps of:

loading a source file of a test plan that describes a program for performing a test;

forming, after the loading, one or more elements in a unit that divides the source file into one or more blocks;

managing, when debugging of objects of the source file is performed, modification details of the debugging with an annotatable object that is associated with an element corresponding to a portion where the debugging is performed; and

rewriting, after debugging, the source file with details after the debugging is performed on a the element basis based on the element and the annotatable object.

7. A computer-readable recording medium in which is stored a program for making a computer perform the back annotation method according to claim 6 .
