Method for expanding identifiable control of automatic test tool

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for expanding an identifiable control of an automatic test tool. The method comprises the following steps that: 1, the automatic test tool acquires control identification information of a non-identifiable control from software to be tested according to a local configuration file; 2, the automatic test tool sends the control identification information to the software to be tested; 3, the software to be tested sends an attribute of the control during running to the automatic test tool; and 4, the automatic test tool resolves the attribute by using an agency class of the control, and operates or checks the control according to the resolved attribute, wherein the agency class is the same as that of the control. According to the method, controls which do not support IAccessible interfaces are identified, so that the playback efficiency is improved, and the later maintenance cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automated testing, in particular to a method for extending identification controls of automated testing tools. Background technique [0002] Automated testing is a process of converting human-driven testing behavior into machine execution. Usually, after the test case is designed and passed the review, the tester executes the test step by step according to the procedure described in the test case, and compares the actual result with the expected result. In this process, in order to save manpower, time or hardware resources and improve test efficiency, the concept of automated testing is introduced. [0003] The purpose of using an automated testing tool is to use it to perform repetitive manual testing, mainly for regression testing and testing new versions of the same software. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to test the application program before testing, such as those functions, operation ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] The current test tools do not support the software under test well, and can only recognize controls that support the IAccessible interface. Most controls cannot be recognized, because the test tools can only read the properties of standard controls, and the custom control properties developed later have no Support IAccessible interface can not be obtained

In this case, currently only the operation on a certain point coordinate can be recorded, resulting in low playback efficiency, high maintenance cost in the later stage, and data verification cannot be completed for unrecognized controls
