Central database establishing method for keyword driving

Abstract

The present invention adopts static script and dynamical script composed navigation script, storing key word, navigation key word and key word in centre data base to realize function correlation, then static script to complete centre data base loading, according to required key word to establish dynamical script, said dynamical script according to said key word and navigation key word to obtain corresponded key word realizing function through finding said centre data base. Said dynamical script sends key word parameter in test logic to said key word realizing function, through executing said key word realizing function to complete relevant test function and feeding back result to test logic. The present invented method can raise development efficiency and reduce navigation script maintenance cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to automatic test technology, more specifically, relates to a method for building a central database suitable for keyword-driven. Background technique [0002] In the process of testing telecommunication equipment or software, Key-Word Driven (Keyword Driven) technology is usually used, which is implemented based on Rational's Robot tool platform, and is usually applied to the automation of GUI (Graphical User Interface) testing. [0003] In keyword-driven technology, testers will use a form similar to an Excel worksheet to create test cases by entering keywords (Key-Word). The entire process (including functions) of this method is driven by keywords, and keywords control the entire testing process. [0004] Table 1 shows an exemplary test case.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0014] (1) Mainly used in GUI automated testing, and implemented based on Rational's Robot tool platform, (a) its cross-platform (specifically operating system) portability is relatively weak, (b) cross-tool platform portability is relatively weak , (c) and it is not suitable for automated testing of communication equipment products

[0015] (2) Lack of central database (CDB), AW (Keyword) itself is NKey (Navigation Keyword), the corresponding relationship between Keyword, Navigation Keyword, and Keyword Implementation Function is realized in the driver script, and is controlled by the driver script Complete keyword navigation. Therefore, when adding keywords and their corresponding relationship with navigation keywords and keyword implementation functions, the driver module must be modified; at the same time, if keywords, navigation keywords, and keyword implementation functions When the corresponding relationship between changes, it is also necessary to modify the driver module

This will lead to: (a) the development cost in the automated testing process is high, (b) keywords will have a lot of redundancy; (c) multiple versions of the driver module need to be maintained, and the maintenance cost is high

[0016] (3) The transplantation of test cases between different products / versions cannot be realized;

[0017] (4) The implementation of keywords can only be realized through scripts; it cannot be realized through other programming languages ​​such as C, pascal, etc.
