A safety test support system comprises application storage 5, an
application activating means 7, check program storage 17 and an
inspection conducting means 19. The application storage 5 stores
applications for safety tests, which are functionally partitioned
according to data items and/or operations. The application activating
means 7 activates at least one application selected from the
applications. The check program storage 17 stores check programs each for
detecting a change or changes in one of the applications during the
system operation. The inspection conducting means 19 detects the changes
in the applications by sequentially executing the stored check programs
in response to an inspection conducting signal. Accordingly, the support
system carries out an inspection to automatically detect the changes
during the system operation so that the system can comply reliably with
the GLP and other standards.
