[0002] When testing complex software applications, it is necessary to cover a variety of platforms and use a large number of test machines, and automated testing must be relied on to solve the problem. At present, existing automated testing products can only achieve multi-machine cross-platform support at the test script file level and cannot achieve fine-grained support.
