Abstract

The invention relates to the set-top box field, especially to a test method of a set-top box and a test system thereof. The method comprises the following steps that: a configuration file is stored in a PC machine in advance, wherein the configuration file includes a plurality of control commands and each control command corresponds to one test item, and the PC machine generates a test interface including a plurality of test items; after a user selects a test item that needs to be tested on the test interface, the PC machine finds a selected control command in the configuration file according to the test item selected by the user and sends the selected control command to a set-top box; the set-top box tests a corresponding test item according to the selected control command; and after the test by the set-top box is completed, the result is generated into a log that is then stored in the set-top box; and meanwhile, the log is sent to the PC machine for storage. According to the invention, test interface software is developed on a PC machine and matched test execution software is developed on a set-top box; the software code scale is small; and besides, characteristics of simpleness, easiness of maintenance, easiness of operation and high portability are realized.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of set-top boxes, in particular to a test method and a test system for a set-top box. Background technique

[0002] Existing technical solutions: the production test of set-top boxes is usually based on the set-top box, and the test interface software is developed on the set-top box side, and the test interface and test results are displayed on the TV. The operator sends the test command through the remote control. During the test, the tester uses The remote controller selects the test items one by one. After receiving the command, the set-top box starts the corresponding test function, and calls out the corresponding test program to test the selected test items.

[0003] In the existing solution, because of the test interface software developed on the set-top box side, the software is complex in design, high in cost, difficult to maintain, and poor in portability to different set-top boxes. Contents of the inventio...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0033] like figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a kind of set-top box testing method, comprises that PC machine is stored with a configuration file in advance, and described configuration file comprises a plurality of control commands, and a control command corresponds to a test item, and PC machine generates and includes a plurality of test item test interface;

[0034] When the user selects the test item to be tested on the test interface, the test method includes:

[0035] Step 1, the PC finds the selected control command in the configuration file according to the test item selected by the user, and sends the selected control command to the set-top box;

[0036] Step 2, the set-top box tests the corresponding test items according to the selected control command;

[0037] Step 3: After the set-top box completes the test, it saves the resulting log on the set-top box, and at the same time sends the log to the PC for storage.

[0038] It should be noted that t...

Embodiment 2

[0076] like image 3 Shown, the present invention also proposes a kind of set-top box testing system, comprises PC machine and set-top box;

[0077] The PC is used to save a configuration file, the configuration file includes a plurality of control commands, a control command corresponds to a test item, and generates a test interface that includes a plurality of test items according to the configuration file; when the user is testing When the test item to be tested is selected on the interface, the PC is also used to find the selected control command in the configuration file according to the test item selected by the user, and send the selected control command to the set-top box;

[0078] The set-top box is used to test the corresponding test item according to the selected control command; and is used to save the result generation log on the set-top box after the set-top box completes the test, and send the log to the PC for storage.

[0079] It should be noted that the PC i...
