Abstract:
Provided is a management server that is used in constructing a high-quality test environment. The management server is an operating server that is connected via a network to an image forming apparatus registered as a management target, and that remotely manages the image forming apparatus. The management server includes a data-collection unit, a connection-receiving unit, and a data-relay unit. The data-collection unit receives collection-target data from the image forming apparatus and accumulates that data in a database. The connection-receiving unit receives a connection with a test sever having the same functions as self server. The data-relay unit also transmits the collection-target data received by the data-collection unit to the test server, the connection of which is received by the connection-receiving unit. Therefore, the collection-target data is accumulated in the test server in the same way as in the management server, and can be used as test data.

Claim (Index 8):
A test environment construction system comprising: plural image forming apparatuses that transmit collection-target data; an operating management server that, via a network, remotely manages the plural image forming apparatuses that are registered as management targets; a relay apparatus that is provided in a communication path between each of the plural image forming apparatuses and the management server; and a test server that comprises the same functions as the management server; wherein\n each of the management server and the test server comprise: a data-collection unit that receives the collection-target data from the image forming apparatuses and accumulates the data in respective databases; an operation unit that receives control instructions for the image forming apparatuses; and a command-processing unit that, together with transmitting commands to the image forming apparatuses based on the control instructions received by the operation unit, receives responses to the commands from the image forming apparatuses; and the relay apparatus comprises: a connection-receiving unit that receives a connection with the test server; a data-relay unit that transmits the collection-target data that is transmitted from each of the plural image forming apparatuses to the test server, the connection of which is received by the connection-receiving unit; and a command-relay unit that, together with relaying the commands for the image forming apparatuses that are transmitted from the test server, the connection of which is received by the connection-receiving unit, transmits the responses to the commands by the relaying received from the image forming apparatus to the test server, the connection of which is received by the connection-receiving unit.
