Claim One:
1. A method of classifying states of an object in an object-oriented program by using a computer, comprising: designating a to-be-determined object that is to be determined, and a state of the to-be-determined object; creating a method set comprising, as elements, methods called from the designated state of the to-be-determined object; using, as a to-be-determined state, the designated state of the to-be-determined object or another state obtained by calling methods from the designated state, and executing a program for calling methods included in the method set from the to-be-determined state; recording an execution result in a case of calling the methods; and creating a pseudo-state by merging a method group that is the elements of the method set, and the execution result in the case of calling each method of the method group, in association with the to-be-determined state of the to-be-determined object.
