Abstract

A failure detection system detects a failure in a remote management system that performs remote management of image forming apparatuses. The failure detection system automatically executes a UI test that is a test for normality of the remote management system with respect to an operation through a web application serving as a user interface of the remote management system, and reports a failure in the remote management system depending on the result of the executed UI test.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A failure detection system to detect a failure in a system, the failure detection system comprising:
a test executor that automatically executes a test for normality of the system with respect to an operation through a user interface of the system; and a failure reporter that reports the failure according to a result of the test executed by the test executor.

2 . The failure detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the test is executed to detect an abnormality in output content in the test.

3 . The failure detection system according to claim 1 , wherein the test is executed to detect an abnormality in time having been occupied by the test.

4 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a failure detection program for detecting a failure in a system, the failure detection program causing a computer to implement:
a test executor to automatically execute a test for normality of the system with respect to an operation through a user interface of the system; and a failure reporter to report the failure according to a result of the test executed by the test executor.
