7. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to record the reference information and the processing load information as a log, the log comprising a date and a time of each measurement, information identifying a program update related to each measurement, and the processing loads of each measurement associated with one another.

8. A control method for an information processing apparatus that manages a repository to which a program file is recorded, the control method comprising:

receiving a request to update a program file recorded in the repository;

acquiring, in a predetermined manner at a time of receiving the request, reference information regarding a processing load of an execution object based on the program file, wherein the reference information regarding the processing load of the execution object is based on a first elapsed time from a time of execution of the execution object to a time when a predetermined screen appears following the execution of the execution object;

creating a provisional execution object based on the program file related to the request;

measuring the processing load of the provisional execution object to acquire a result of the measurement as processing load information, wherein the processing load information regarding the provisional execution object is based on a second elapsed time from a time of execution of the provisional execution object to a time when the predetermined screen appears;

verifying the processing load information regarding the provisional execution object on a basis of the acquired reference information; and

subjecting a result of the verification to a predetermined process.

9. The control method of claim 8 , further comprising:

measuring the processing load of the execution object created on a basis of the program file recorded in the repository at the time of receiving the request; and

acquiring the result of the measurement as the reference information.
