Original Abstract Submitted

A test code generation device includes an action generation unit that acquires at least one of pieces of API-related data of an API specification, an API execution order file, a parameter setting file, a script setting file, a test type, and a parameter list and generates action code data corresponding to an action of a state transition pattern of an API adapter, and the test code generation unit that generates a test code of the API adapter based on the action code data generated by the action generation unit and the state transition pattern of the API adapter.
