[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the interaction process of an automated testing system provided in one embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] As described in the background section, with the development of mobile internet and electronic information technology, mobile smart terminals have been widely used in various industries based on the specific functions implemented by apps.

[0034] In the testing phase of app development, many testing scenarios require interaction with external Bluetooth devices, such as acquiring or outputting information via Bluetooth. Currently, in such scenarios, manual configuration of the Bluetooth devices is required for the tests to proceed correctly. This prevents automation of the app testing process and leads to low testing efficiency.

[0035] In response to this, this application proposes an automated testing system, based on specific system components and configurations, to solve the technical problem that automated testing cannot be achieved in the testing implementation of apps that involve interaction with Bluetooth devices.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the automated testing system proposed in this application includes:

[0037] The script execution terminal 100 is used to parse the executed automated script, send a first data packet containing the target Bluetooth device setting information in the configuration to the server 200 according to the parsed test configuration, and control the execution process of the automated script according to the feedback information in the corresponding second data packet returned by the server 200.

[0038] The script execution terminal here is set on the first computing device configured with a Bluetooth module. In this embodiment, the first computing device is a smartphone, and the Bluetooth module of the smartphone corresponds to the Bluetooth module.

[0039] Server 200 is used to push the target Bluetooth device setting information contained in the first data packet to Bluetooth emulator 300, and to receive feedback information from Bluetooth emulator 300 regarding the target Bluetooth device setting information, generate a second data packet including the feedback information, and send it to script execution terminal 100.

[0040] Bluetooth emulator 300 is used to emulate the target device based on the received target Bluetooth device setting information, and to send the simulation result information (referring to a result status information) back to server 200 as feedback information.

[0041] The Bluetooth analog terminal 300 is located on a second computing device with a Bluetooth module, such as in this embodiment, where the second computing device is a computer equipped with a Bluetooth module.

[0042] Specifically, in the above process, based on different testing requirements, the types of target Bluetooth devices to be simulated include: Bluetooth printers, Bluetooth scales, etc.

[0043] Specifically, script execution terminal 100 is configured as follows:

[0044] When the feedback information in the second data packet indicates that the target device is ready, the control automation script will proceed to the next execution operation, such as initiating the Bluetooth pairing process between the Bluetooth modules of the first and second computing devices according to the script configuration.

[0045] When the feedback information in the second data packet indicates that the target device has failed to prepare, the control automation script stops executing and outputs an error message.

[0046] It's easy to understand that during the automated testing phase of some apps, it's necessary to acquire or output some information through Bluetooth-related devices (such as acquiring package weighing information from a Bluetooth scale, or sending waybill information to be printed to a Bluetooth printer). This involves relevant target Bluetooth devices (Bluetooth peripherals), and these target Bluetooth devices vary depending on the app or scenario, so they need to be dynamically configured.

[0047] In the automated testing system described in the above embodiments, the second computing device in the system is placed near the smartphone (first computing device) during automated testing (the specific distance depends on the communication range of the Bluetooth module) to facilitate Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth communication interaction during testing. The second computing device, equipped with a Bluetooth module, can provide an interface based on the above configuration to facilitate test script invocation.

[0048] When the automated test script is executed on the script execution end, a command containing the relevant setting information of the target Bluetooth device to be simulated is sent to the server (as described in the parsing and sending process above). The server pushes the information to the Bluetooth simulation end and then returns relevant feedback to the script execution end. Once the script execution end receives the target device ready (simulation successful) command, it will continue to the next step of the automated script execution, such as performing Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth communication to obtain the content required for automated testing.

[0049] In this way, based on the specific system configuration, the relevant testing process of apps involving interaction with Bluetooth devices can be automatically implemented through the interaction of various parts of the system during testing, which helps to improve the efficiency of testing work.

[0050] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic illustration of the interaction process of an automated testing system in another embodiment.

[0051] Based on the previous embodiments, in this embodiment, both the Bluetooth analog terminal and the server terminal are set on the second computing device with Bluetooth modules, and the second computing device has multiple Bluetooth modules.

[0052] Accordingly, based on the embodiments described above, in this embodiment, the first data packet also includes the identification information of the Bluetooth module in the second computing device;

[0053] The server 200 is specifically configured to: push the target Bluetooth device settings information and Bluetooth module identification information contained in the first data packet to the second computing device (corresponding to...). Figure 2 (See the illustrations for "Accept Bluetooth emulator number and target device model" and "Push information"), so that the second computing device can use the corresponding Bluetooth module to emulate the target Bluetooth device.

[0054] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth simulation terminal and the server are integrated on the same computing device, which is beneficial to improving the system integration; and setting up multiple Bluetooth modules is beneficial to meet the needs of specific test scenarios (such as needing to interact with different Bluetooth devices simultaneously in a certain test scenario).

[0055] In one embodiment, this application also proposes an automated testing method applied to the aforementioned automated testing system, the automated testing method comprising:

[0056] The script execution end parses the executed automated script, sends a first data packet containing the target Bluetooth device settings information in the configuration to the server according to the parsed test configuration, and controls the execution process of the automated script according to the feedback information in the corresponding second data packet returned by the server.

[0057] The server pushes the target Bluetooth device settings information contained in the first data packet to the Bluetooth emulator, and receives the feedback information from the Bluetooth emulator regarding the target Bluetooth device settings information, generates a second data packet including the feedback information, and sends it to the script execution client.

[0058] The Bluetooth simulator simulates the target device based on the received target Bluetooth device settings information and sends the simulation results back to the server as feedback.

[0059] From the perspective of pure method execution, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 1: The automated test script needs to be configured with the Bluetooth device to be connected (e.g., Bluetooth device 1) and the type of Bluetooth device to be simulated (e.g., Bluetooth device name);

[0061] Step 2: The automated script sends the device model (e.g., Bluetooth device) and device number (e.g., Bluetooth device 1) to the server, and the server pushes the information to the Bluetooth emulator.

[0062] Step 3: The Bluetooth emulator switches to the mode of the device (Bluetooth device) to be emulated based on the received information;

[0063] Step 4: Once the Bluetooth emulator is ready, it returns a success message to the server.

[0064] Step 5: The server returns the device readiness status to the automation script;

[0065] Step 6: The automation script can perform Bluetooth pairing or automated script tasks;

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
