Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose an automation technology for the test process of system integration (SI). Our proposed method automatically generates a test program which evaluates that the target system design satisfies the system requirements. We model both the system requirements and system design as graph structures, and define the test templates which contains abstract test commands and search methods of their syntax parameters. After referring to the test templates and acquiring parameters from the system design graph according to search methods, test commands are translated into concrete test scripts, which is compatible for different environment such as OS types and network configuration, by referring to the command templates. Finally, we evaluate the test program generated by our proposed method on an Openstack virtual environment and show that the test program can evaluate the target system design per each test unit, which composes the system requirements.
