Abstract:
A program conversion system for converting a test program for a semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising:a simulator for simulating a transmission line characteristic from a semiconductor integrated circuit that is assumed to be mounted on a test board to a tester that is assumed to be connected to the test board based on chip parameters indicating a circuit characteristic of the semiconductor integrated circuit, test board parameters indicating a circuit characteristic of the test board, and tester parameters indicating a circuit characteristic of the tester; difference acquiring means for calculating a difference between a transmission characteristic from the semiconductor integrated circuit to a first tester that is assumed to be connected to a first test board and a transmission characteristic from the semiconductor integrated circuit to a second tester that is assumed to be connected to a second test board based on simulation results of the simulator; and program converting means for converting a first test program that was generated so as to conform to the first test board and the first tester into a second test program for the second test board and the second tester based on the calculated difference.
