Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, smart cameras will need OTA firmware upgrades to improve user experience or fix problems. Before the firmware release process, testers also need to conduct a large number of tests on firmware upgrades to try to ensure that there is no problem with OTA upgrades. However, the tests need to be verified and wait for downloading. Such steps are not only complicated to operate, but also take a long time to upgrade, resulting in high cost of firmware upgrades for test cameras, and it is impossible to guarantee whether there will be abnormalities after a large number of firmware upgrades, and the efficiency is very low

Embodiment 1

[0023] Embodiment 1, see figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a camera firmware OTA upgrade automated testing process method, comprising the following steps;

[0024] Step 1. Send an upgrade message to the camera that needs to be upgraded;

[0025] S1. Determine whether the camera has received an upgrade message, and enter the next step after receiving it;

[0026] S2. If the upgrade message is not received, a message will be pushed to inform the tester that the camera has not received the upgrade message;

[0027] Step 2. Before starting the upgrade, verify whether the upgrade package / upgrade message is correct;

[0028] S1, if it is correct, go to the next step;

[0029] S2. If the verification upgrade package / upgrade message is wrong, a message will be pushed to inform the tester that the verification upgrade package / upgrade message is wrong;

[0030] Step 3: Start downloading the upgrade package, the camera reports the upgrade progress, and e...

Abstract

The invention discloses a camera firmware OTA upgrading automatic test flow method. The method comprises the following steps: 1, sending an upgrading message to a camera needing to be upgraded; 2, verifying whether an upgrade package / upgrade message is correct or not before upgrading is started; 3, starting to download the upgrade package, reporting the upgrade progress by the camera, entering thenext step after downloading is completed, and if downloading of the upgrade package is overtime or downloading failure is caused by other reasons, pushing a message to inform a tester of downloadingfailure caused by downloading of the upgrade package overtime or other reasons; 4, installing an upgrade package; and step 5, waiting for the camera to be online. According to the method, the complexity of firmware upgrading of the camera is greatly reduced, the firmware upgrading time is shortened, multiple cameras can be upgraded at the same time, extra manpower cost resources generated by product upgrading are saved, and the efficiency of firmware upgrading of the camera is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to an automatic test process method for camera firmware OTA upgrade. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the network, the development of digital security monitoring is advancing by leaps and bounds. More and more network cameras have begun to replace traditional analog cameras and become the mainstream of security monitoring. Network cameras can be installed anywhere in the world, remote preview through monitoring software, widely used to introduce the diversity of requirements, and the maintenance and upgrading of cameras is also very important. [0003] At present, smart cameras will need OTA firmware upgrades to improve user experience or fix problems. Before the firmware release process, testers also need to conduct a large number of tests on firmware upgrades to try to ensure that there is no problem with OTA upgrades. However, the tests need to be verif...
