Patent ID: 8781785

Claim:
An information processing method for evaluating a communication state of a device, comprising: (a) obtaining communication data that includes content of communication between a plurality of devices; (b) creating a first test program to test communication between a test-target device and an other device, on the basis of the content of communication included in the communication data obtained in (a), the first test program to be executed when performing communication between the test-target device and the other device; (c) executing the first test program created in (b) and generating performance results regarding communication performed between the test-target device and the other device; (d) obtaining communication data that includes content of communication performed between the test-target device and the other device when executing the first test program created in (b); (e) creating a second test program on the basis of the content of communication included in the communication data obtained in (d), the second test program to be executed when performing communication between the test-target device and the other device; (f) outputting difference information obtained by comparing at least one part of content between the first test program created in (b) and the second test program created in (e); and (g) excluding predetermined test conditions from evaluation conditions by using the difference information and creating a third test program that is to be executed when performing communication between the test-target device and the other device.
