The apparatus including: an acquisition section acquiring, for each of the multiple target programs, an input/output constraint showing a condition to be satisfied by an input value and an output value; a constraint condition generating section generating a constraint condition which becomes true when the multiple input/output constraints for the multiple target programs are satisfied, input values for the multiple target programs are equivalent, and output values for the multiple target programs are not equivalent; and a constraint releasing section giving the constraint condition to a constraint solver to obtain an input value satisfying the constraint condition.
