Method for improving utilization rate of automatic testing resources

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the utilization rate of automatic testing resources and provides a method in which idle resources in a testing task are released in time for other testing tasks to use so as to improve the utilization rate of the automatic testing resources. The method comprises the following steps: a, allocating various testing resources needed for the testing tasks; b, determining the releasing priority of the current testing resource Rn; c, executing all testing examples of the testing resource with the most needed demand and the highest releasing priority; and d, counting and releasing the idle testing resources; and e, judging whether the execution of the testing tasks is finished, if so, ending, and if not, returning to step b. By utilizing the method, in-time and flexible releasing of the idle testing resources of the testing tasks in the process of automatic testing according to the user demand condition can be realized, so that the testing resources are ensured to be utilized furthest, thus effectively reducing the software development cost and shortening the software development period.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reasonable utilization of test resources, in particular to a method for improving the utilization rate of test resources in an automated test system. Background technique [0002] In order to ensure software quality, software testing is an essential link in the software development process. In the process of test execution, testers may repeatedly test a certain module, especially when the product has frequent changes in functions, in order to ensure that the changed functions will not affect the normal operation of other functions, the original The function of the function is verified, which is the so-called regression test. In the process of regression testing, testers may have to perform dozens or even hundreds of repeated tests, which will inevitably make the testing work boring, difficult to improve the enthusiasm of testers, and cause a serious waste of human resources , increasing the development cost of software prod...

Problems solved by technology

Since this management method meets the test requirements of all test TOPOs, the test task can be successfully completed, but it also has obvious defects: for each test task, it may involve several or even dozens of logical TOPOs, The resource requirements of these TOPOs may vary greatly. In addition, logical TOPOs that require many test resources may only be required by a small number of use cases, while most test cases only require a small number of test resources, which results in huge test resources. waste

For example, if a test task contains 100 test cases and involves two test TOPOs (TOPO1 and TOPO2), TOPO1 needs 10 test resources, and TOPO2 needs 1 test resource. Before the test is executed, the test task needs to Allocate 10 test resources, and among the 100 test cases, only 1 test case needs to use TOPO1, and other test cases use TOPO2, because the test resources need to be released at the end of the entire test task, which causes The serious waste of those 9 test resources

In addition, because the test resources are not released in time, other test tasks cannot be run in time, which prolongs the test time, prolongs the development cycle, and increases the development cost
