Patent ID: 8819174

Claim:
An information processing system comprising a first server and a second server that can communicate with each other through a network, the first server including a processor comprising: a running unit that runs a virtual machine; and, a load-information transmitting unit that transmits, to the second server, load information indicative of a processing load generated in the first server as a result of running the virtual machine when the running unit runs the virtual machine, and, the second server including a processor and a test program storing unit that stores a test program to generate a processing load in accordance with input of an index value and to vary the processing load in accordance with a magnitude of the index value, the processor comprising: a load generating unit that generates a processing load corresponding to the load information received from the first server, wherein: the load-information transmitting unit transmits the index value as the load information; and the load generating unit reads out the test program from the test program storing unit, inputs the index value received from the load-information transmitting unit into the read-out test program, and generates the processing load.
