TESTING STATE DISPLAY METHOD

PURPOSE:To easily understand a testing state in each step by displaying artificially the testing state in each operation step of a hardware. CONSTITUTION:An image for showing a testing state in each operation step of hardware is generated in advance and stored in a storage part 1, and a test program is executed. Subsequently, when a test in each operation step of hardware is being executed, an image for showing a testing state of hardware corresponding to its operation step is read out of the storage part 1 and displayed, and also, an image for showing the testing state of hardware of its previous operation step is displayed supplementarily on a display device 6. Accordingly, the test can be executed by generating the artificial state of hardware on a work station, and also, a place for executing a test and its time are not restricted. In such a way, the testing state can be understood easily.
