Problems solved by technology

[0003] Since the 1980s, GUI (Graphical User Interface) technology has been widely used. While GUI software brings users intuitive and simple features, it also has the features of graphical input / output, event-driven, event-triggered randomness, Features such as multitasking and message passing make software functions more and more complex
[0011] Software functions are the essence of software. Users complete specified tasks through the functions provided by the software. Compared with codes, software functions are more intuitive. Therefore, analyzing the impact domain of software changes from the functional level will be more intuitive and convenient. Existing methods It is difficult to effectively solve this problem

Embodiment Construction

[0052] Aiming at the problems existing in the existing methods, the present invention analyzes the software function change impact domain from the perspective of software function, and mainly solves how to find out the software function affected by the code change in the software, thereby improving the intuition, adequacy and accuracy of the change impact domain analysis. efficiency.

[0053] For GUI software, software function changes come from two aspects, one is the interface control change, and the other is the underlying code change. Interface control changes will explicitly affect the existing functions of the software, and underlying code changes will implicitly affect the existing functions of the software. According to the two kinds of changes, the present invention analyzes the impact domain of function changes.

[0054] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodim...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for analyzing a software function change and the influence thereof by using a function diagram, which comprises the following steps of: analyzing software to be tested, and constructing a software function diagram; analyzing a control change and a code change influence; mapping the control to codes, finding out the software function corresponding to change codes by using the code and interface control mapping method through analyzing source program codes, and converting the code change to a function change; and analyzing the domain of function change influence according to the software function condition influenced by the function change and the code change, and finding out all functions passing by the function change point. In the method, the code dependency relation is described by using a dependency diagram, and the influence on the software by the code change can be accurately reflected; the influence on the software function by the code change and the control change is fully considered, and comprehensive analysis is influenced; and the code change is converted into the function change according to the association relation between the control and the codes, and the analysis result of the change influence is visualized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software testing method, in particular to a method for analyzing software function change and its influence by using a function diagram. Background technique [0002] Software change is an unavoidable and very frequent behavior in the software life cycle. After software change, the original software will be affected to varying degrees. Recognition from the surface is called implicit influence. Software change impact analysis is to determine the explicit and especially implicit impact of these changes on the software, and provide technical support for software testing and maintenance. [0003] Since the 1980s, GUI (Graphical User Interface) technology has been widely used. While GUI software brings users intuitive and simple features, it also has the features of graphical input / output, event-driven, event-triggered randomness, Features such as multitasking and message passing make software functions more and more complex.
