Abstract

This reduces the workload of workers who test application programs executed on image forming machines. [Solution] The test support program is a test support program that tests an application program installed on a computer that controls an image forming apparatus, and causes the computer to execute a test execution step (S02) in which it executes the application program in accordance with a test execution instruction input from an external source, a code image generation step (S05) in which it generates a code image for notifying a test result management service of the execution result performed in accordance with the test execution instruction, and an output step (S06) in which it outputs the code image.
