Automated Test Method Based on Embedded Software Simulator

Abstract

An automated testing method based on an embedded software emulator, comprising: step S0: creating an automated test script module to prepare for testing requirements; step S1: writing an automated test script module in the automated test script module according to the functions provided by the emulator API module to meet the test requirements Software test logic, emulator API module including address bus read and write, register read and write, memory read and write, program breakpoint, conditional breakpoint, get symbol table, simulator control, get simulation time, simulation timer, and / or Trigger interruption; Step S2: load the automated test script module into the emulator software; Step S3: start the emulator software and execute the automated test script module; Step S4: verify the correctness of the automated test script module code logic and make adjustments and modifications Step S5: if step S4 is passed, then execute and operate the embedded software automated test through the automated test script module; Step S6: the test is completed. Make program debugging controllable, changeable, and quickly locate program logic errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automated testing method for computer software, in particular to an automated testing method based on an embedded software emulator. Background technique [0002] At present, the embedded software emulators on the market can only manually control the emulator software in the process of testing the target software, such as manually executing the start and stop of the program; Numerical values ​​or injecting faults into certain memory addresses to test and observe system execution behavior can only be achieved through manual modification by the tester; and if you want to test the software through fault injection at a specific moment, human operations are often inaccurate Controlling the time will lead to deviations in the injection time and affect the test results. There are defects of low efficiency and cumbersome operation in testing the target software through artificial control. [0003] Aiming at the problems of low effi...

[0002] At present, the embedded software emulators on the market can only manually control the emulator software in the process of testing the target software, such as manually executing the start and stop of the program; Numerical values ​​or injecting faults into certain memory addresses to test and observe system execution behavior can only be achieved through manual modification by the tester; and if you want to test the software through fault injection at a specific moment, human operations are often inaccurate Controlling the time will lead to deviations in the injection time and affect the test results. There are defects in the low efficiency and cumbersome operation of testing the target software through artificial control.

[0003] Aiming at the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome operation of the embedded software emulator to debug the target software existing in the prior art, no effective solution has been proposed in the prior art
