Automation testing script offline debugging method and system

Abstract

The invention relates to automation testing technologies of the data communication field and discloses an automation testing script offline debugging method and system. The automation testing script offline debugging method mainly comprises the steps of setting two debugging modes inside a testing script; developing two branches in the API (application programming interface) function of the testing script; simulating the information of a device to be tested in the offline debugging branch of the API function for connecting the device to be tested; in the offline debugging mode, defaulting every function corresponding to a simulated physical device as normal; when echo values need to be read from the device to be tested, simulating the echo values through the offline debugging branch, ignoring the logic check of the function and only checking whether the information transmitted in as the function requires is correct; outputting a debugging result after offline debugging is completed. The automation testing script offline debugging system comprises a mode setting module and a debugging agent module. The automation testing script offline debugging method and system can save testing resources and improve the testing efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automated test technology in the field of data communication, in particular to an off-line debugging method and system for an automated test script. Background technique [0002] As the development cycle of data communication products is getting shorter and shorter, the product release cycle is getting faster and faster, and the corresponding testing workload is also increasing. For automated testing, it is required to be able to complete the testable automated test scripts as soon as possible to verify the product. function.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the automated test script development of the prior art, the writing language of the script usually selects an explanatory scripting language (such as: Tcl, Ruby, Perl, Python, etc.), which has the advantage of being conducive to rapid development and debugging of scripts, but some problems are prone to occur when writing scripts. Syntax errors, such as parameter input errors when calling the corresponding application programming interface (Application Programming Interface, API) function, etc.

These errors occur when script developers write code. At the same time, due to the lack of effective code inspection methods in the interpreted language itself (regular code walkthrough usually only finds a small number of errors), these error scripts can only be loaded into the tested Debugging on the device, the result will inevitably fail, but the reason for this failure is the failure caused by some errors in the script itself, which does not reflect whether the function of a certain function point of the product under test we want to verify is correct or not. We expect to develop this script for the purpose of

If there is more than one error, we need to run it repeatedly to find these errors. This process not only wastes test resources, but also wastes a lot of time for repeated script initialization and device initialization processes, resulting in low efficiency of test script debugging.

Therefore, if the automated test script is debugged on the real device without effectively checking the script itself for errors before running online, it will consume test resources and test time, and reduce test efficiency
