For example, server 130 can be a server group composed of multiple server devices. In addition, the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment can be applied to terminal device 110, or to server 130, or can be implemented jointly by terminal device 110 and server 130. This application does not impose any special limitations on this.

[0042] The following detailed description of the business process testing method, business process testing apparatus, computer-readable medium, and electronic device provided in this application, with reference to specific embodiments, provides a detailed explanation.

[0043] Figure 2 The illustration schematically depicts a business process testing method in one embodiment of this application, which can be performed by... Figure 1 The terminal device 110 and / or server 130 shown are used to execute the service process testing method. This embodiment of the application uses a service process testing method jointly executed by the terminal device 110 and server 130 as an example for illustration. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the business process testing method can mainly include the following steps S210 to S250.

[0044] Step S210: Convert the business process data based on the structured data storage format to obtain a business process diagram based on the graph data format. The business process diagram includes multiple process nodes.

[0045] Step S220: Randomly adjust some process nodes in the business process diagram according to the preset configuration parameters to obtain the adjusted process diagram to be tested.

[0046] Step S230: Verify the adjusted process nodes to obtain the verification results of the process nodes.

[0047] Step S240: When the verification result of the process node is that the verification is passed, the format of the flowchart to be tested is converted to obtain the process data to be tested based on the structured data storage format.

[0048] Step S250: Verify the data of the process to be tested to obtain the verification result of the business process.

[0049] In the business process testing method provided in this application embodiment, a portion of process nodes are randomly selected from the business process diagram based on graph data format and adjusted and verified. After verifying and testing the adjusted portion of process nodes, the complete business process is then verified and tested using business process data based on structured data storage format. This application embodiment, by adjusting various process nodes in the business process diagram, can automatically generate various different business process test scenarios to adapt to the complex and ever-changing business processes in actual use. This application embodiment performs local testing on the adjusted portion of process nodes based on the business process diagram, while simultaneously performing global testing on the complete business process based on the business process data. Through asynchronous testing under two data formats, the overall business process testing efficiency can be improved, and the testing cost and quality of the business process can be reduced without manual intervention.

[0050] The following section provides a detailed explanation of each method step in the business process testing method described in this application embodiment, using application scenarios as examples.

[0051] In step S210, the business process data based on the structured data storage format is converted to obtain a business process diagram based on the graph data format. The business process diagram includes multiple process nodes.

[0052] Business process data based on structured data storage format can be stored in a structured database. When it is necessary to view, test, or run the corresponding business process, it can be converted into a business process diagram based on graph data format. A business process can generally include multiple process nodes, and tasks flow between each process node according to the execution order of the business process. When the flow reaches the last process node, the execution result of the business process can be output.

[0053] Business process data based on structured data storage formats can include various data such as node identifiers, node attributes, and node relationships for each process node. Node identifiers are used to distinguish each process node; they can be node names or node numbers. Node attributes indicate the process operations performed by the process node and the operation parameters used during execution. Node relationships indicate the connection relationships between each process node and other process nodes.

[0054] A business process diagram based on graph data format consists of nodes and edges, where nodes represent the various process nodes of the business process, and edges represent the process branches that facilitate task flow between the various process nodes.

[0055] Figure 3 This illustration schematically shows the effect of format conversion of business process data in one embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 3 As shown, business process data 310 is structured data stored in tabular form, including multiple data rows and columns. Data rows may include, for example, corresponding node identifiers, node attributes, and node relationships, while data columns represent the values ​​corresponding to each data item. Business process diagram 320 is stored in graph data format, including points corresponding to each process node in the business process and edges used to represent the flow of process tasks.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the business process data 310 can be stored in a structured database. During business process testing, the corresponding business data is first read from the structured database, and then its format is converted to form a business process diagram 320.

[0057] In one embodiment of this application, the business process data 310 may be data based on the Protobuf (ProtocolBuffers) protocol format. Protobuf is a data serialization protocol provided by Google. ProtocolBuffers is a lightweight and efficient structured data storage format that can be used for structured data serialization and is well-suited for data storage or RPC (Remote Procedure Call) data exchange. Protobuf is a language-independent, platform-independent, and scalable serialized structured data format that can be used in communication protocols, data storage, and other fields.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, the business process diagram 320 can be, for example, data based on a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) format. A DAG is a directed graph without loops, and it is an effective tool for describing the process of a project or system. Except for the simplest case, almost all projects can be divided into several sub-projects called activities, which are usually subject to certain constraints, such as the start of some sub-projects requiring the completion of others. For the entire project and system, two main concerns are: whether the project can proceed smoothly, and estimating the shortest time required to complete the entire project. Both of these problems can be solved by performing topological sorting and critical path operations on the directed graph.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, business process data 310 is stored in a backend server. When testing is required, the backend server sends it to the terminal device running the frontend test program. The terminal device converts the data to a new format to obtain a business process diagram 320 used for verification testing.

[0060] In step S220, some process nodes in the business process diagram are randomly adjusted according to preset configuration parameters to obtain the adjusted process diagram to be tested.

[0061] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the steps of adjusting process nodes is shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, step S220, which involves randomly adjusting some process nodes in the business process diagram according to preset configuration parameters, may include steps S410 to S430.

[0062] Step S410: Start multiple browser instances using a headless browser, and load the business process diagram in the command line interface of each browser instance.

[0063] A headless browser is a browser without a recognizable graphical interface. Unlike testing sites or performing common operations using graphical elements, browser instances generated based on headless browsers can automatically run test cases using a command-line interface.

[0064] Figure 5 This illustration schematically depicts an application scenario of running an automated testing process based on a headless browser, as shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the headless browser in this embodiment is Puppeteer, and the corresponding generated browser instance can be a Chromium instance developed by Google. Using the methods provided by Puppeteer for manipulating the browser, multiple Chromium instances can be launched simultaneously, and automated business process testing can be performed in each Chromium instance.

[0065] Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API (Application Programming Interface) to control Chromium or Chrome via the DevTools protocol. Chromium is a free and open-source software project launched by Google to develop the Google Chrome browser, and it is released and open-sourced under several licenses, including the BSD license. Chromium shares most of its code and functionality with Google Chrome, but there are some subtle differences in features.

[0066] Step S420: Randomly generate process adjustment strategies corresponding to each browser instance according to preset configuration parameters.

[0067] In one embodiment of this application, the configuration parameters include a node adjustment ratio and a node adjustment type. The node adjustment ratio represents the proportion of the process nodes to be adjusted in the total number of process nodes in the business process diagram. The node adjustment type includes various adjustment operations to be performed on the process nodes to be adjusted. For example, the node adjustment type may include at least one of adding a node, deleting a node, moving a node, copying a node, or modifying node data.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, the configuration parameters include a branch adjustment ratio and a branch adjustment type. The branch adjustment ratio is used to represent the proportion of process branches connected to the process nodes to be adjusted in the total number of process branches in the business process diagram. The branch adjustment type includes a variety of adjustment operations to be performed on the process branches connected to the process nodes to be adjusted.

[0069] In the business process diagram, operable process nodes can be randomly selected. During testing, corresponding API methods provided by the front end can be called to add, delete, and modify flowchart node data and the flowchart structure. To better simulate real user operations, random operations on process nodes can be performed by modifying the proportion parameters of specific nodes or operations. Automated operations based on existing network process data are also supported.

[0070] Table 1 shows the names of the APIs available for invocation and their corresponding functions in the embodiments of this application. Each API corresponds to a node adjustment type or a branch adjustment type.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, a corresponding adjustment strategy can be randomly generated according to a pre-set node adjustment ratio and branch adjustment ratio to adjust and verify some process nodes and process branches between process nodes in the business process diagram.

[0074] Figure 6 A flowchart illustrating the steps of generating a process adjustment strategy for a process node is shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the process adjustment strategy corresponding to each browser instance is randomly generated according to the preset configuration parameters in step S420, which may include the following steps S610 to S630.

[0075] Step S610: Identify all process nodes in the business process diagram, and classify all process nodes into adjustable nodes and non-adjustable nodes based on the identification results.

[0076] In order to limit business process testing to an effective and controllable range, embodiments of this application can classify all process nodes in the business process diagram into adjustable nodes and non-adjustable nodes according to the different types of process operations. Adjustable nodes are nodes that can be adjusted during the test process, while non-adjustable nodes are nodes that need to remain fixed during the test process.

[0077] Step S620: According to the node adjustment ratio, randomly select some process nodes to be adjusted from the adjustable nodes.

[0078] The node adjustment ratio controls the proportion of the adjusted process node among all process nodes, thus controlling the extent of adjustments to the business process diagram. For example, if a business process includes 10 process nodes and the node adjustment ratio is configured to 30%, it means that a maximum of 3 process nodes can be selected for adjustment during the current testing phase.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, the node adjustment ratio is used to control the upper limit of the number of selected process nodes to be adjusted. For example, if the number of adjustable nodes exceeds three, three process nodes to be adjusted can be randomly selected. If the number of adjustable nodes is less than three, all adjustable nodes are selected as process nodes to be adjusted.

[0080] Step S630: Randomly select adjustment operations from the node adjustment types to be performed on each process node to be adjusted, so as to generate a process adjustment strategy corresponding to the browser instance.

[0081] In one embodiment of this application, operation weights can be pre-configured for various adjustment operations according to testing needs. These operation weights control the proportion of occurrence of each adjustment operation. Based on this, a method for randomly selecting process nodes to be adjusted from the adjustable nodes may include: obtaining the operation weights corresponding to various adjustment operations in the node adjustment type; predicting the selection probability of each adjustment operation based on the operation weights; and randomly selecting adjustment operations to be performed on each process node to be adjusted based on the selection probability.

[0082] Figure 7 A flowchart illustrating the steps of generating a process adjustment strategy for process branches is shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 7As shown, based on the above embodiments, the process adjustment strategy corresponding to each browser instance is randomly generated according to the preset configuration parameters in step S420, which may include the following steps S710 to S730.

[0083] Step S710: Identify all process branches in the business process diagram, and classify all process branches into adjustable branches and non-adjustable branches based on the identification results.

[0084] In order to limit business process testing to an effective and controllable range, embodiments of this application can classify all process nodes in the business process diagram into adjustable nodes and non-adjustable nodes according to the different types of process operations. Adjustable nodes are nodes that can be adjusted during the test process, while non-adjustable nodes are nodes that need to remain fixed during the test process.

[0085] Step S720: According to the branch adjustment ratio, randomly select process branches that are connected to some process nodes from the adjustable branches to be adjusted.

[0086] The node adjustment ratio controls the proportion of the adjusted process node among all process nodes, thus controlling the extent of adjustments to the business process diagram. For example, if a business process includes 10 process nodes and the node adjustment ratio is configured to 30%, it means that a maximum of 3 process nodes can be selected for adjustment during the current testing phase.

[0087] In one embodiment of this application, the node adjustment ratio is used to control the upper limit of the number of selected process nodes to be adjusted. For example, if the number of adjustable nodes exceeds three, three process nodes to be adjusted can be randomly selected. If the number of adjustable nodes is less than three, all adjustable nodes are selected as process nodes to be adjusted.

[0088] Step S730: Randomly select adjustment operations from the branch adjustment types to be performed on each process branch to be adjusted, so as to generate a process adjustment strategy corresponding to the browser instance.

[0089] In one embodiment of this application, operation weights can be pre-configured for various adjustment operations according to testing needs. These operation weights control the occurrence ratio of each adjustment operation. Based on this, a method for randomly selecting adjustment operations from branch adjustment types for execution on connection branches between process nodes to be adjusted may include: obtaining operation weights corresponding to various adjustment operations in the branch adjustment type; predicting the selection probability of each adjustment operation based on the operation weights; and randomly selecting adjustment operations for execution on connection branches between process nodes to be adjusted based on the selection probability.

[0090] Step S430: Adjust some process nodes of the business process diagram loaded in the browser instance according to the process adjustment strategy.

[0091] Based on the randomly generated process adjustment strategy, some process nodes of the business process diagram loaded in each browser instance can be adjusted accordingly. Each browser instance can execute different process adjustment strategies, thereby multiplying the number of test scenarios.

[0092] In step S230, the adjusted process nodes are verified to obtain the verification results of the process nodes.

[0093] In one embodiment of this application, the method for verifying the adjusted partial process nodes may include: loading a web page containing a business process diagram in the command-line interface of a browser instance; obtaining associated nodes that have a connection relationship with the adjusted partial process nodes within the web page; and verifying the adjusted partial process nodes and associated nodes.

[0094] In one embodiment of this application, the method for verifying the adjusted partial process nodes and associated nodes may include: performing a legality verification on the node relationships between the adjusted partial process nodes and associated nodes to determine whether the node relationships of each node conform to the verification rules; and performing a legality verification on the node attributes of the adjusted partial process nodes and associated nodes to determine whether the node attributes of each node conform to the verification rules.

[0095] In one embodiment of this application, while performing process node verification, the operation path for adjusting some process nodes in the business process diagram can be obtained, and a webpage snapshot of the original flowchart associated with the operation path can be recorded. The original flowchart is the business process diagram before the operation path is executed. Recording the process facilitates the playback and reproduction of problems. At each step of the operation, the node information of the current operation is recorded. When an exception occurs during the process setting verification, all operation logs from page loading to the time of the error are output to a file. When locating a problem, the problem can be reproduced by sequentially operating according to the log data.

[0096] In step S240, when the verification result of the process node is that the verification is passed, the format of the flowchart to be tested is converted to obtain the process data to be tested based on the structured data storage format.

[0097] After completing the verification test of the process nodes, the embodiments of this application can convert the format of the adjusted flowchart to be tested and restore it to the process data to be tested based on the structured data storage format.

[0098] In step S250, the data of the process to be tested is verified to obtain the verification result of the business process.

[0099] In one embodiment of this application, the terminal device can send an asynchronous network request to the server based on a dynamic scripting language, so that the server can perform connectivity and / or reachability checks on the process data to be tested according to the asynchronous network request. The asynchronous network request sent by the terminal device to the server carries the process data to be tested based on a structured data storage format.

[0100] Connectivity verification is used to test the connectivity between various process nodes in a business process. Methods for connectivity verification can include disjoint-set data structure, depth-first search (DFS), breadth-first search (BFS), warshall, etc.

[0101] Reachability checks are used to test how easy it is to get from one process node to another in a business process.

[0102] Figure 8 This illustration schematically depicts an interactive flowchart of a business process test in an application scenario, based on an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 8 As shown, in this application scenario, the method for testing the business process is jointly executed by a terminal device configured with automated scripts and a corresponding backend server. This business process testing method includes the following steps S810 to S870.

[0103] Step S810: The backend server sends business process data based on PB (Protocol Buffers) data format to the frontend terminal device.
