Keyword driving havigation method

Abstract

The present invention provides key word driven navigation method, wherein adopting static script and dynamically script composed navigation script, storing key word, navigation key word and correlation among key word realizing function in central data base, then static script completing central data base loading and to establish relevant dynamically script according to required key word. Said dynamical script obtains corresponded key word realizing function through finding said central data base according to key word and navigation key word, said dynamical script transmitting key word parameter in testing logic to said key word realizing function, through executing said key word realizing function capable of completing relevant test function and feeding back result to testing logic. Said invented method can raise development efficiency and reduce navigation script maintenance cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to automated testing technology, and more specifically, relates to a keyword-driven navigation method. Background technique [0002] In the process of testing telecommunication equipment or software, Key-Word Driven (Keyword Driven) technology is usually used, which is implemented based on Rational's Robot tool platform, and is usually applied to the automation of GUI (Graphical User Interface) testing. [0003] In keyword-driven technology, testers will use a form similar to an Excel worksheet to create test cases by entering keywords (Key-Word). The entire process (including functions) of this method is driven by keywords, and keywords control the entire testing process. [0004] Table 1 shows an exemplary test case.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0015] (1) Mainly used in GUI automated testing, and implemented based on Rational's Robot tool platform, (a) its cross-platform (specifically operating system) portability is relatively weak, (b) cross-tool platform portability is relatively weak , (c) and it is not suitable for automated testing of communication equipment products

[0016] (2) Lack of central database (CDB), AW (Keyword) itself is NKey (Navigation Keyword), keyword navigation is directly implemented in the driver module, usually through the case statement or if statement provided by the programming language , as shown in Figure 2, therefore, if a new keyword is added, the driver module must be modified; the result will be: (a) the development cost increases during the automated testing process, (b) the keyword will have a lot of redundancy , (c) Multiple versions of driver modules need to be maintained at the same time

[0017] (3) The transplantation of test cases between different products / versions cannot be realized

[0018] (4) The implementation of keywords can only be realized through scripts, and cannot be realized through other programming languages ​​such as C, Pascal, etc.
