Automatic testing system and method both applicable to compiler in logical configuration software

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic testing system and method both applicable to a compiler in logical configuration software. The testing system comprises a testing driving tool and a testing tool, wherein the testing driving tool is used for calling the testing tool and finishing a test on a testing case to generate a testing report; the testing case comprises engineering to be tested and a testing script file for describing a testing process. The testing tool comprises a script engine, a testing fixture, an online debugging module and the like; the testing driving tool comprises an analysis configuration file module, a statistical module, an executing case module, a report generation module, an e-mail transmitting module and the like. The testing case designed based on the automatic testing system not only can verify the accuracy of the compiler in the logical configuration software, but also can verify the accuracy of other non-GUI type modules and controller software in the logical configuration software. A testing case set can be only written for one time; when the logical configuration software needs to publish a new version, the testing case set can be automatically executed and the testing report is generated to judge whether the compiler has defects or not, so that the efficiency and quality of testing work are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computer software testing, and in particular relates to a system and method suitable for automatic testing of compilers in logic configuration software. Using the testing system, it is only necessary to write a test case once, and each time the logic configuration software and its control When a new version of the server software needs to be released, the test case can be automatically executed again to determine whether it is defective. Background technique [0002] In industrial automation control, the control system composed of logic configuration software and controller software (also known as upper computer and lower computer) is widely used in various control fields: such as distributed control system (DCS), programmable controller (PLC) etc. The logic configuration software is responsible for modeling the control logic, compiling and generating binary instructions and packaging them into sf files, and then ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) Test cases are described using natural language, and the description often exists inaccurate or even wrong;

[0007] (2) Whenever the logic configuration software or controller software releases a new version, it is necessary to manually execute the test cases again, which is highly repeatable;

[0008] (3) But the test cycle is long, time-consuming and labor-intensive;

[0009] (4) The execution process is boring, the execution efficiency is low and error-prone;
