The invention relates to a
software testing method, in particular to an engine
control software testing method, and solves the technical problem that the data
throughput capacity of an RS-232
serial port communication mode cannot meet the rapid
data access requirement due to the fact that the
baud rate cannot be increased under the condition that the
serial port communication mode is ensured by an existing engine
software testing method. Comprising the following steps of: writing a keyword in a Workitem.log file, supplying power after communication between
test equipment and a product is established, executing a keyword instruction at the moment, running content indicated by the keyword, finishing checking whether the Wkresut.log file exists or not, and writing 'Done!' if the Wkresut.log file exists, and the like. Different functions are operated according to actual conditions, each function corresponds to a respective keyword,
mode switching and data packaging downloading are carried out on instructions in a product, the number of
handshake times between communication and the product is reduced, the whole access and transmission efficiency is improved by properly reducing
data traffic on
serial port communication, and the service life of the product is prolonged. Therefore, the purpose of improving the communication transmission efficiency of the RS-232 serial port is achieved.
