Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data processing, and particularly to an ATS automated testing method based on interface operations. Background Art

[0002] The Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) system in rail transit has functions closely related to human-computer interaction such as train operation control, train identification management, train route handling, train position display, and user information management. The above human-computer interaction functions are of great significance for dispatchers to complete normal train operation work. Therefore, there are high requirements for ensuring the correctness of business function implementation, the usability of interface operations, and the correctness of interface displays. Since the elements in the UI interface have different requirements in different projects, the testing of this part of the function mainly relies on manual testing according to the steps of test cases. Although the manual method is flexible, due to the high repetition rate of many test cases, the testing takes a lot of time and there are omissions and mistakes. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the testing efficiency of the UI interface while ensuring the testing quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the problem of low interface testing efficiency in the prior art, the present invention provides an ATS automated testing method based on interface operations. By reading the object attributes of all element objects in the ATS interface of the object under test and creating test scripts, relevant instructions and operations are executed through the test scripts, and the verification status is compared with the expected status, so as to perform batch testing on the interface and greatly improve the testing efficiency.

[0004] The following are the technical solutions of the present invention.

[0005] An ATS automated testing method based on interface operations includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: Start the automated interface service and establish a connection with the interface;

[0007] S2: Start the object under test and read the object attributes of all element objects in the ATS interface of the object under test;

[0008] S3: Create test scripts according to the object attributes and test cases to be tested, and make function and data configurations between different projects;

[0009] S4: Execute the test scripts and send corresponding operations to the specified object under test;

[0010] S5: Obtain the real-time status of the object attributes as the verification status, compare the verification status with the expected status, and record the test results in the storage unit.

[0011] The present invention realizes clearly and accurately obtaining all device position information, status, etc. of the interface by reading the ATS interface, improves the accuracy of interface automation operations, and provides different configurations for different projects to achieve the versatility and flexibility of automated testing under different requirements.

[0012] Preferably, in S1, start the automated interface service and establish a connection with the interface, including: based on the S / C architecture mode, create an automated interface service, and establish a connection with the interface through a specified ip and port. The automated interface service is used to provide a transfer for the instructions expressed by the test script and forward them to the object under test.

[0013] Preferably, in S2, start the object under test and read the object attributes of all element objects in the ATS interface of the object under test, including:

[0014] Start the object under test, open the ATS interface of the object under test, and use the station yard map devices, menus, and pop-up windows including signal machines, switches, and sections as element objects;

[0015] Read and record the object attributes based on the type and / or content of each element object.

[0016] Preferably, in S3, create a test script according to the object attributes and test cases to be tested, and make function and data configurations between different projects, including:

[0017] Decompose the test case steps into basic business logics, further refine them to basic interface operation instructions and verification checkpoints, and encapsulate them layer by layer to obtain encapsulated instructions;

[0018] For case differences, adapt and adjust through a parameter configuration method combined with object attributes to make project configuration information;

[0019] Assemble the encapsulated instructions and project configuration information into a test script.

[0020] Preferably, in S4, execute the test script and send corresponding operations to the specified object under test, including:

[0021] According to the test requirements, select the test script corresponding to the required test case for execution;

[0022] Move the ATS interface of the object under test to the middle of the device interface and operate according to the instructions of the test script;

[0023] If the ATS interface of the object under test cannot be fully displayed on the device interface, record the overflow coordinate values of the ATS interface, and adjust the ATS interface of the object under test according to the overflow coordinate values after the operation in the test script is interrupted until the remaining interface has been displayed on the device interface at least once.

[0024] Among them, since the ATS interface of individual objects to be measured is too large, it may not be fully displayed on the device interface. In this case, dragging is required. The present invention first records the overflow coordinate values, and then adjusts them after the operation interruption of the test script. Since the script execution is relatively fixed, a clear order is adopted to avoid operation errors and ensure the integrity of task execution.

[0025] Preferably, in S5, the real-time state of the object attribute is obtained as the verification state, and the verification state is compared with the expected state, and the test result is recorded in the storage unit, including:

[0026] Judge whether the verification point is an interface. If so, obtain the device interface state according to the expected verification point requirements, compare the result of the device interface state with the expected result, fill the compared test result into the test record form, and generate a test log;

[0027] If not, obtain the interface device message state according to the expected verification point requirements, compare the result of the message state with the expected result, fill the compared test result into the test record form, and generate a test log;

[0028] If the use case requires storing the scenario picture, the picture is stored and recorded according to the specified storage path.

[0029] The substantial effects of the present invention include:

[0030] 1. By reading the ATS interface object method, it is possible to clearly and accurately obtain all device position information, status, etc. on the interface, improving the accuracy of interface automation operations.

[0031] 2. Save manpower and do not require manual repeated manual testing.

[0032] 3. Improve the equipment utilization rate. The automated test can continuously execute the test for 24 hours, improving the test efficiency while reducing manpower.

[0033] 4. Provide configurations for different projects to achieve the versatility and flexibility of automated testing under different requirements. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0052] The element objects and object attributes of this embodiment are shown in Table 1 below.
