[0002] For most information system development and testing teams, several software testing tools are used in the development and testing process. There are many types of testing tools, some of which need to be installed and deployed on a single machine, and some of which need to be deployed on a server for remote access. The installation and deployment operation is complex, and it is difficult to perform multi-task parallel detection. If deployment is performed after virtualization image encapsulation, only the resources are simply packaged and managed, the permissions cannot be controlled, and the data cannot be shared and counted. If each unit purchases multiple testing tools according to the needs and deploys them on each server, the use rate is low, the cost is high, the time and labor cost is increased, and the project investment is increased. The unified management and scheduling of resources cannot be achieved, and the parallel cluster testing effect cannot be achieved.

[0036] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0037] The following detailed description is exemplary description, which is intended to provide further detailed description of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical terms used in the present application have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used in the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application.

[0038] The cloud platform-based software testing tool cluster management method is mainly realized through the testing tool cluster management technology.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 The core technology involved in the present application is the testing tool cluster management technology. In the cloud computing architecture, it mainly exists in the PaaS layer (Platform-as-a-Service, platform as a service) and the SaaS layer (Software-as-a-Service, software as a service).

[0040] The testing tool cluster management technology mainly realizes the management and scheduling of tool cloudization and clustering at the technical level, provides test services for users, and the core technology includes the clustering technology of CS and BS testing tools. Among them, the CS testing tool is mainly carried in the form of a virtual machine or a container, and provides cluster service in the form of multiple instances of virtual machines or containers; the BS testing tool provides services through a Web service, and multiple application instances can be provided to provide cluster services through middleware load balancing and other ways. Through the above technology, different types of testing tools are virtualized to form an intermediate testing tool cluster service layer, and a unified testing tool cluster is built to provide services for users and test applications. The above testing tool cluster constitutes Figure 1 the PaaS layer testing tool cluster part in the present application.

[0041] For CS type test tool software, the tool software is deployed in a virtual machine or a container, and a virtual machine or a container image template is made according to different test tools. The cluster scheduling center pre-initializes a certain number of virtual machines or image instances of each type of tool as a test execution machine cluster according to the configuration, and each execution machine runs "stateless". When receiving a test task, the cluster scheduling center assigns the test task to an idle execution machine for testing, and uploads the test results to the cloud for the user to check after the test is completed. When the test cluster load is too large, the cluster scheduling center can create new execution machines using templates at any time and add them to the cluster. When an abnormal test node occurs, the abnormal test node can be closed at any time without affecting the operation of the cluster. Test personnel only need to fill in the necessary tool parameters on the web page, and the cluster can simulate the whole process of the test personnel clicking operation through parameter configuration, drive the execution of the tool, and realize automatic testing.

[0042] For BS type test tool software, a plurality of virtual machines are applied in the cloud, BS test tool software is deployed, and a WebService interface is opened. Each set of tools can receive samples and configuration instructions through the interface to realize task creation, sample import, configuration parameter setting, test execution and state tracking, report extraction, and can form a customizable report content through online reading of the report text and text formatting. The tool provides two types of interfaces for users, standard interfaces provide a simple interface based on default configuration for users, and only a few necessary parameter information is required, which is suitable for non-professional test personnel; the professional interface can configure most of the parameter information of the tool through the interface, meet the individual needs of users, and is suitable for professional test personnel. Users combine their own business process requirements to customize the interface through secondary development or integrate the tool into the Devops pipeline, manage and execute the test by calling the background interface service, simplify the professionalism and complexity of the tool, and provide remote automatic test service for users through simple web service.

[0043] The SaaS layer test service center is divided into service categories such as functional automation testing, compatibility testing, performance testing management, code defect detection, mobile application testing management, interface testing service, security penetration testing service, and code scanning test. The test tool cluster formed by the PaaS layer provides interfaces and interfaces for users. After the user applies for the service, only needs to upload the sample through the interface, select the required configuration options, and submit to automatically call the background test tool cluster to carry out the test work, and automatically generate the test report for the user to view and download.
