Evaluation device, evaluation method, and program for evaluation device

An evaluation method that evaluates an object to be evaluated by using an evaluation device that evaluates performance of the predetermined object to be evaluated by varying a temperature condition and that comprises a heating furnace having a furnace inner space to house the object to be evaluated and a temperature adjusting mechanism to heat or cool the object to be evaluated or its surroundings, wherein

• the temperatures of a plurality of locations in or around the object to be evaluated are acquired, and
• the temperature adjusting mechanism is controlled to keep an absolute value of a temperature difference between the acquired temperatures at a plurality of the locations lower than or equal to a predetermined value.

A computer readable medium for an evaluation device that evaluates performance of a predetermined object to be evaluated by varying a temperature condition and that comprises a heating furnace having a furnace inner space to house the object to be evaluated and a temperature adjusting mechanism to adjust the object to be evaluated or its surroundings by heating or cooling the object to be evaluated or its surroundings, wherein the computer readable medium has instructions thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to produce functions as

• a temperature acquisition unit that acquires the temperatures of a plurality of locations in or around the object to be evaluated, and
• a temperature adjusting mechanism control unit that controls the temperature adjusting mechanism to keep an absolute value of a temperature difference between the acquired temperatures at a plurality of the locations lower than or equal to a predetermined value.
