1. A computing system for acquiring a status of and/or controlling a device for testing leakage of a drug container, the device comprising:
a support member;
a movement member; and
a drug container receptacle for receiving the drug container;
wherein the support member supports the movement member, the movement member is movable relative to the support member in a movement direction which is parallel to the opening direction of a rubber stopper disposed in a stopper opening of the drug container, and the movement member extends into the drug container receptacle for the displacement of the rubber stopper such that part of the movement member is inserted into the drug container through a communication hole which is provided at the drug container apart from its stopper opening for enabling fluid communication of the interior of the drug container and the exterior of the drug container;
wherein the computing system is configured to acquire a status of and/or control the device for leakage testing of the drug container.
