A program managing method in a web service system for providing a web
service for testing a message which has been changed in response to a
change made in interface definition information comprises steps for
judging as to whether or not an error occurs when an access request made
by a message is transmitted, which is caused by the change of the
interface definition information indicative of an interface of a
destination of the access request; changing the message in correspondence
with a content of the changed interface definition information in the
case that the error occurs which is caused by the change of the interface
definition information; and transmitting an access request made by the
changed message in a test mode. It then becomes possible to correct and
test the program in a dynamic manner for preventing recurrence of this
error.
