ABSTRACT:
A method of generating data for evaluating a source program comprising a program dividing process of reading the source program for controlling the operation of an information processing system and dividing the source program into program blocks each time a branch instruction and a label are detected and generating basic block data every program blocks, a variable data extracting process of extracting variable data for substituting and referring to a calling variable in the source program, a branch data generating process of generating branch data between the program blocks, for shifting from one program block to the other program block and storing the generated branch data, a path data generating process of generating path data for each processing path of the source program in order of the sequential program blocks, based on the variable data and the branch data, and a test data generating process of generating data for testing the source program from the path data and the variable data. Further, the method may preferably have a path data selecting process of selecting data about a main path from the path data and a test data generating process of generating test data from the path data selected by the path data selecting process and the variable data.
