Abstract:
1. A communication test apparatus for a system comprising a plurality of processes and a process control block including run-time execution information about the plurality of processes in order to determine whether or not communication between a plurality of processes is performed without error, the communication test apparatus comprising: an insertion module configured to insert a communication test agent into the process control block; a hooking module configured to hook a test target to a test code in such a manner that the communication test agent executes the test code instead of functions of the plurality of processes when an event related to communication occurs between the plurality of processes; a scanning module configured to collect pieces of test information about communication between the plurality of processes for the purpose of determining a defect in the communication between the plurality of processes, when the test target is hooked to the test code; a logging module configured to store the pieces of test information collected by the scanning module; and an analysis apparatus configured to analyze the pieces of collected test information to determine a defect in the communication between the plurality of processes.
