[0043] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] Before further describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention are explained. The nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention are subject to the following explanations.

[0045] Test case: A test case is a set of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results compiled for a specific purpose in order to test a program path or verify whether a specific requirement is met.

[0046] Mirroring: It is a form of file storage and a type of redundancy. The data on one disk has an identical copy on another disk, which is called a mirror.

[0047] URL (Uniform Resource Locator), on the WWW, every information resource has a unified and unique address on the Internet. This address is called URL, which is the Uniform Resource Locator of the WWW, that is, the network address.

[0048] DB (data base) is a collection of data organized according to a certain data model and stored in secondary storage.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, a test case generation method is provided, which can be applied to any form of electronic equipment, such as a terminal and a server. Figure 1 As shown, the test case generation method includes:

[0050] Step 101: Obtain a request message sent by a server, where the request message carries request data.

[0051] In some embodiments, the server is used to provide actual services to users. After the user fills in the parameter configuration information on the web page, the client sends a request message to the server, the server performs the corresponding processing, and returns the result response message to the web browser, and the normal business process ends.

[0052] Specifically, the obtained request message may be obtained by the server side copying the obtained request message and sending the copied request message to the test case generation end, so that the test case generation end obtains the request message.

[0053] The request data may include, but is not limited to, a request method, a request body, and a request network address.

[0054] The parameter configuration information may be information related to the user request. For example, when the user requests to create a consortium chain, the parameter configuration information may be the name of the consortium chain.

[0055] Step 102: Generate a mirror request message corresponding to the request message, where the mirror request message carries request data.

[0056] In some embodiments, after receiving a request message sent by a server, the request message is saved and a mirror request message corresponding to the request message is generated. By saving the request message, after the server sends multiple request messages, the mirror server can avoid processing multiple mirror request messages, resulting in mismatched requests and responses.

[0057] It is understandable that after the test case generation end obtains the request message, the request message may be directly forwarded to the mirror service end as a mirror request message.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, generating a mirror request message corresponding to the request message includes:

[0059] Parse the request message to obtain request data; and generate a mirror request message based on the request data.

[0060] Specifically, request messages typically exist in the form of signals. Therefore, the request message is parsed to obtain the request data within it, which is then saved. A mirrored request message is then generated based on the request data. When there are multiple request messages, to facilitate processing of each request message and avoid having to process multiple request messages simultaneously on a single mirrored server, the request data is saved first. Once the mirrored server completes processing of the response, the next mirrored request message is processed.

[0061] Furthermore, a mirror request message is generated according to the request data, including:

[0062] At each preset time interval, target request data is extracted from the stored request data, where the target request data is any request data in the stored request data; and a mirror request message is generated according to the target request data.

[0063] In some embodiments, after parsing the request data, the request data is saved. This prevents newly acquired request messages from being missed while the mirroring server is responding to a mirroring request message. Furthermore, after the mirroring server completes processing and returns a response message, the mirroring server extracts the unprocessed target request data from the test case generator and generates a mirroring request message based on the target request data.

[0064] It is understandable that after the mirror request message generated by the request data is sent to the mirror server, the request data of the generated mirror request message can also be marked to determine that the request data has been processed through the mark, thereby avoiding repeated calls to the request data.

[0065] The requested data may be stored in a database of the mirror server. There are many types of databases, for example, but not limited to, a DB database.

[0066] Step 103: Send the mirroring request message to the mirroring server. The processing process of the mirroring server is the same as that of the server.

[0067] In some embodiments, after generating a mirror request message, the mirror request message is sent to a mirror server, which processes the mirror request message to obtain response data, and sends the response data to the test case generation end in the form of a response message.

[0068] Because the mirrored server and the server process are identical, and the mirrored request message carries the same request data as the request message, the resulting response message also contains the same response data. By setting up a mirrored server, performing a secondary simulated request does not interfere with the server actually executing the service.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, there is at least one mirroring server, and sending the mirroring request message to the mirroring server includes:

[0070] The mirror request message is sent to the target mirror server, where the target mirror server is the mirror server that has not responded to the mirror request message.

[0071] By setting up multiple mirror servers, multiple mirror servers can process requests in parallel, which speeds up the mirror processing efficiency of the request message. In addition, each mirror server will respond to the next mirror request message after responding to the previous mirror request message. This ensures a one-to-one correspondence between the mirror request message and the response message.

[0072] Step 104: Obtain a response message fed back by the mirroring server based on the mirroring request message, wherein the response message carries response data.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the mirroring service end obtains the mirroring request message, it processes the mirroring request message to obtain a response message, and sends the response message to the test case generation end, which then obtains the response message.

[0074] Step 105: Generate a test case based on the request data and response data.

[0075] In some embodiments, after obtaining the response message, the test case generation end parses the response message to obtain corresponding data in the response message, thereby generating a test case based on the request data and the response data.

[0076] Among them, since the mirror service end processes one mirror request message each time, obtains a response message and sends it to the test case generation end, and then processes the next mirror request message, the response data in the response message is a response to the request data in the mirror request message, and the two are in a corresponding relationship. Therefore, the test case generated based on the request data and response data is a test case generated for the same request message.

[0077] There are many ways to generate test cases based on request data and response data. For example, the request data and response data may be concatenated to obtain a test case.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, the test case generation method in the embodiment of the present application takes the creation of a consortium chain on a baas platform as an example, assuming that the platform supports the creation of 5 different types of consortium chains (A1-A5 respectively); see Figure 2 , the method may include:

[0079] First, "User A1" creates an "A1 type" consortium chain named "A1 test chain" in the "A1 use case data source environment" (hereinafter referred to as "A1 environment"). First, User A1 writes the parameter configuration information on the web page and confirms the creation. The backend service (i.e., the server) sends a creation request HTTP message. The key message information is as follows: the request method is "post", the request URL is: http: / / xxxx / service / api / v1.0 / create-chain, and the request body is: JSON format data {"ChainInfo":{"ChainName":"A1 test chain","ChainType":"A1"}};

[0080] Second, after receiving the HTTP request (i.e., request message) from the browser (i.e., client), the backend service in the A1 environment performs the corresponding processing and returns a result response message to the browser, thus completing the normal business process. Upon receiving the request from the browser, the backend service also copies the request and forwards it to the collector of the "Use Case Data Automatic Generation Service."

[0081] Third, after receiving the http request, the collector parses the request message to extract "post", "http: / / xxxx / service / api / v1.0 / create-chain", "{"ChainInfo":{"ChainName":"A1 test chain","ChainType":"A1"}}" and other information, and stores the information in the DB database;

[0082] Fourth, the replay device of the "Use Case Data Automatic Generation Service" periodically retrieves information from the DB database, splices it into an HTTP request, and replays the request in a dedicated "secondary simulation request environment". The extracted response message contains the status code: 200 and the response body: {"code":200,"message":"Success","data":{"code":200,"action":"createchain","message":""}};

[0083] Fifth, the processing results of the http request message and response message are spliced ​​into the library to form a test case.

[0084] Among them, after class users A2-A5 create corresponding types of chains in the corresponding environment, they finally form interface test cases for the creation of 5 types of alliance chains from A1 to A5. The use case data is as follows

[0085] Table 1:

[0087]

[0088] Table 1

[0089] The test case generation method provided by the embodiment of the present application parses the HTTP request message to extract the request body (including method, URL, version), header, and request body, and temporarily stores the parsed results; simulates the request twice to solve the stateless problem of the HTTP protocol and make the response message correspond to the request message; parses the response message to extract the status line and response body; extracts the response body structure, such as nested JSON returns, and extracts each layer of key for testing and inspection. The HTTP request message and response message processing results are combined into a library to form a test case baseline library. In this way, the interface automation test case baseline is automatically generated and maintenance-free; there are no special requirements for interface development documents, and zero interface documentation can be used to effectively reduce the team burden and quickly build. The initiator of the HTTP request (the source of the use case data) can be a tester, or a developer, product user, or user, effectively shortening the automation test case creation cycle; the adaptability is strong, and the same type of product line and business line can be switched with almost no modification and can be directly applied, significantly shortening the automation construction cycle; the automation access timing is not restricted, and the interface changes caused by business changes are automatically adapted, making it worry-free to use.
