Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic test framework applicable to cloud computing. Based on an object-oriented idea, repeated parts in a script are extracted out, are used as a shared object to be stored into a shared object resource database; an automatic test use case is constructed by capturing, storing and calling a WEB object and a business unit assembly object of a tested procedure, thus completing mass automatic test of business process. The automatic test framework disclosed by the invention can quickly select the automatic test use case, can improve scientificalness and comprehensiveness of selection of the automatic use case, can lower maintenance cost and labor cost of an automatic test script, can improve automatic test success rate and can finally improve systematicness and readability of the automatic test result.

Description

An automated testing framework for cloud computing

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of automated testing, in particular to a method for quickly selecting automated test cases, by rationally dividing common modules and core modules of software, and according to the selection ratio and complexity of test cases, rapid selection can be effective Use cases for automated testing to reduce the cost of automated testing.

technical background

Cloud computing based on IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) products are also springing up like mushrooms. How to improve product quality and competitiveness, efficient software testing undoubtedly plays a pivotal role. Although the automated testing tools and testing methods of traditional application software have matured day by day, the automated testing technology in the field of cloud technology still needs to be further explored. Automatic and efficient testing of the platform.

At present, the construction method of automated test cases is generally based on software-based business processes. When the test scripts created by this method undergo minor changes in programs, data changes, and functions increase, all scripts involved need to be rewritten, which is time-consuming, laborious, and costly. high.

To this end, an automated test framework (OBP) suitable for cloud computing is provided. This framework builds business process test scripts by dividing business unit components, saving WEB object attributes and operations, and combining business unit components to improve script flexibility and reduce scripts. maintenance costs.

Contents of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose an automated testing framework suitable for cloud computing in view of the problems of low flexibility, low reuse rate and high maintenance cost of the current cloud computing automation framework.

The technical scheme adopted in the present invention is:

An automated testing framework suitable for cloud computing, referred to as OBP, based on object-oriented thinking, extracts the repeated parts of the script, including specific objects (WEB interface objects) and abstract objects (business components), and store them as shared objects. Enter the shared object resource library, and build automated test cases by capturing, saving, and invoking the WEB objects and business unit component objects of the program under test, and complete the batch automated testing of business processes.

The above method is adopted to replace the previous business process-based automated test case construction method, thereby increasing the reuse rate of automated test scripts and reducing the maintenance cost of automated test scripts.

Note: Framework (Framework) is a reusable design of the whole or part of the system, expressed as a set of abstract components and methods of interaction between component instances.

The test framework includes the following processes:

1) In the early stage of automated test case construction, the interface elements of the program under test are regarded as objects one by one, and the object attributes and object operations of the WEB interface are captured and saved to the database through the framework to provide reliable information for the construction of business component objects. the object of the operation;

2) Divide the business process of the program under test into inseparable and reusable business component objects to facilitate the combination of test processes;

3) When creating specific automated test cases, complete the construction of automated test cases by combining business unit components.

The business component object is referred to as a business unit, and each business unit corresponds to a business unit implementation script and a business unit inspection script;

The business unit implementation script is created by calling the WEB interface object library and stored in the database; the business unit check script is created by adding checkpoints to the script and stored in the database.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

The invention can quickly select the use case of the automation test, improve the scientificity and comprehensiveness of the selection of the automation use case, reduce the maintenance cost and labor cost of the automation test script, and improve the success rate of the automation test. Ultimately improve the systematization and readability of automated test results.

Description of drawings

Figure 1 is a flowchart of the framework of the present invention.

Detailed ways

Referring to the accompanying drawings, taking the automated test script "login" as an example, the specific implementation process of the framework is explained:

1. At the beginning of the script creation, the OBP framework captures the WEB objects of the program login interface, such as: user name, password and other attributes and possible operations, and saves them in the database;

2. Through the OBP framework, call the objects in the WEB object database, build the login script, and add checkpoints (correctness check, maximum length check, special character check, etc.) to the script, and the implementation script and check script of the business unit are automatically saved into the database;

3. When automating other use cases, such as creating virtual machines. It is possible to combine and call the creation of implementation scripts and inspection scripts of business units such as "login", "jump to the virtual machine management page", "create virtual machine" and "exit";

4. When the program under test changes, for example, a verification code needs to be added for program login, the script of "creating a virtual machine" does not need to be changed, only the implementation script of the "login" business unit in the database needs to be changed.

Claims (3)
