Device, method and program for performing system testing

A device for testing the operations of a host system during a host system migration, the device comprising:

• a storage unit for holding files created by extracting messages generated by manual operations of a terminal among messages exchanged between the host system and the terminal prior to the migration;
• a sending and receiving control unit for performing an exchange of messages with the host system after the migration;
• a manual operation replay unit for replaying messages registered in files, and sending the reproduced messages via the sending and receiving control unit to the host system after the migration;
• an automatic response message generating unit for automatically generating response messages for requests, and transmitting the generated messages via the sending and receiving control unit to the host system after the migration in case messages received from the host system after the migration via the sending and receiving control unit are messages requesting a response;
• a screen data generating unit for generating screen data for a screen to be displayed on the display unit of a terminal on the basis of the messages received from the host system after the migration via the sending and receiving control unit;
• and
• a comparison unit for comparing the screen data generated by the screen data generating unit to the screen data generated by replaying the operations of the terminal to determine whether or not there is a match, wherein the sending and receiving control unit sends the messages replayed by the manual operation replay unit after the messages generated by the automatic response unit have been sent when messages generated by the manual operation replay unit and messages generated by the automatic response message generating unit are to be sent for messages received from the host system after the migration.
