Method of creating debug specification and test program creating specification

A method of creating a test program creating specification comprising:

• reading into a computer a measuring specification;
• obtaining setting conditions for each of a plurality of measuring parameters from the read measuring specification;
• identifying all terminals of a circuit to be measured as checking terminals;
• establishing one of the setting conditions of the plurality of measuring parameters for each of the identified checking terminals as checking conditions;
• determining whether the identified checking terminals and the checking conditions for each of the plurality of measuring parameters have changed from corresponding previously established plurality of measuring parameters;
• identifying any changed checking terminals and changed checking conditions as changing conditions and establishing times at which the changed checking conditions take place;
• creating a test program creating specification by adding measuring conditions and standard values to all the changed checking conditions and the times at which the changed checking conditions take place for all the plurality of measuring parameters;
• and
• outputting the created test program creating specification.
