A test case is executed on a product using a hardware machine, the product being configured in manufacturing according to a configuration, the test case being related to an estimation function. A set of data points resulting from the executing is collected. Using the estimation function, an estimated time needed for the executing is computed. Using the set of data points, an actual time used for the executing is computed. A determination is made whether a difference between the estimated time and the actual time is within a tolerance. Responsive to the difference not being within the tolerance, the estimation function is adjusted using the set of data points and at least one other set of data points, the other set of data points being generated by executing the test case on a second product configured according to a second configuration at a previous time.

Responsive to the difference not being within the tolerance, the estimation function is adjusted using the set of data points and at least one other set of data points, the other set of data points being generated by executing the test case on a second product configured according to a second configuration at a previous time.

An interface circuit includes: a connector connectable to a PC; a communication circuit capable of generating a transmission signal to another electronic device; a first region that is set between the connector and the communication circuit to allow an electrical isolation device to be mounted therein; wiring lines used to connect the communication circuit and the connector to each other through the first region; and wiring lines used to connect the electronic circuit and the connector to each other through a region other than the first region.
