Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of interface testing, and in particular relates to a method for improving a testing process based on an interface testing platform. Background Art

[0002] The interface testing platform is a software testing tool used to automate interface testing tasks. It can replace manual execution of test cases and automatically detect data transmission and communication between internal components of the software system by simulating requests and verifying responses. The main purpose of the interface testing platform is to improve testing efficiency and quality, and become an indispensable part of modern software development.

[0003] The software testing process under the agile model emphasizes close cooperation between products, testing and development, and focuses on rapid response and iteration. Because there are many departments involved in the work, server-side R&D is scattered in different teams at the same time. The interface documents developed by each team are stored in the knowledge base of each team. Moreover, R&D can only provide interface documents when testing is required, and testing can only write interface test cases according to interface documents during the testing phase. Interface testing does not play a pre-emptive purpose and significance. The existing testing scheme will lead to the lack of unified standards in management style, testing process, etc. for each team in version iteration. This leads to the dispersion of R&D interface document addresses and the lack of unified and centralized management, which brings certain risks to the writing of test cases for testing; at the same time, interface testing does not play a pre-emptive role and significance until test cases are written during the testing phase. If there are many bugs in interface testing at this stage, it will bring great risks to downstream functional testing and system testing, and even affect the quality of software delivery, so it needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the test process based on an interface test platform to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for improving the test process based on an interface test platform, the specific steps are as follows:

[0006] Step 1:

[0007] In the R&D stage, we first produce interface documents based on the requirements;

[0008] Step 2:

[0009] During the R&D phase, interface test cases can be written on the AT test platform according to the interface documents, and when the interface documents are updated or changed, the relevant testers will be automatically notified to change the test cases.

[0010] Step 3:

[0011] After R&D submits the test, the tester can automatically execute all cases on the platform with one click, with zero labor cost in the whole process;

[0012] Step 4:

[0013] Use cases that fail during testing can automatically report bugs;

[0014] Step 5:

[0015] After R&D fixes the bug according to the bug description, they conduct a second test and repeat steps 3 and 4;

[0016] Step 6:

[0017] After the interface test and functional test are passed, the interface is released to the production environment and the APP is released to the application market;

[0018] Step 7:

[0019] After going online, assemble all relevant interface test cases into test scenarios and conduct regular online inspections.

[0020] Preferably, when the interface document described in step 1 is produced, the accuracy of data such as each interface definition and parameter in the document needs to be ensured.

[0021] Preferably, the interface document described in step 1 needs to be updated in a timely manner as the requirements change to ensure synchronization with the development progress.

[0022] Preferably, the test cases described in step 2 need to be updated synchronously in a timely manner when the interface document is updated to avoid test errors caused by inconsistencies between the document and the test cases.

[0023] Preferably, the test environment in step 3 needs to be ensured to be consistent with the production environment.

[0024] Preferably, after the bug in step 4 is reported, the R&D personnel need to handle it in a timely manner and record the bug.

[0025] Preferably, the bug report in step 5 should include detailed reproduction steps, error screenshots, log information, etc., so that R&D personnel can quickly locate the problem.

[0026] Preferably, after the APP is released in step six, it is necessary to continue to pay attention to the performance and user feedback of the APP to ensure that the APP runs stably, and at the same time collect user feedback, discover problems in time and optimize them.

[0027] Preferably, the test scenario described in step seven needs to be designed according to the user's actual usage scenario to ensure the effectiveness of the test.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] Through unified management of interface documents, the R&D process is standardized, and interface documents are provided to the testers before testing. The documents can be updated at any time during the process, and the testers are automatically notified after the update, reducing communication costs. The testers can prepare automated use cases in advance to expose interface problems as early as possible, realize left shift of testing, thereby improving software quality, reducing costs and time, increasing team coordination, enhancing testability, and increasing user satisfaction. After the interface is launched, the interface is continuously monitored, realizing right shift of testing, and the test case assets can be accumulated to save the manpower cost of regression testing. The test case execution rounds are increased from 1 to N times. If there are any bugs during the test, the bugs can be automatically submitted, truly realizing the automation and systematization of the test process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall planning of the present invention;

[0031] Figure 2 It is a functional flow chart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the test process based on the interface test platform, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0034] Step 1:

[0035] In the R&D stage, we first produce interface documents based on the requirements;

[0036] Step 2:

[0037] During the R&D phase, interface test cases can be written on the AT test platform according to the interface documents, and when the interface documents are updated or changed, the relevant testers will be automatically notified to change the test cases.

[0038] Step 3:

[0039] After R&D submits the test, the tester can automatically execute all cases on the platform with one click, with zero labor cost in the whole process;

[0040] Step 4:

[0041] Use cases that fail during testing can automatically report bugs;

[0042] Step 5:

[0043] After R&D fixes the bug according to the bug description, they conduct a second test and repeat steps 3 and 4;

[0044] Step 6:

[0045] After the interface test and functional test are passed, the interface is released to the production environment and the APP is released to the application market;

[0046] Step 7:

[0047] After going online, assemble all relevant interface test cases into test scenarios and conduct regular online inspections.

[0048] By entering interface documents into the AT test platform by R&D, all team interface documents can be managed online in one stop, thereby improving development and testing efficiency, ensuring interface consistency, reducing communication costs, lowering risks, and improving the collaborative environment. In addition, through the automatic synchronization mechanism, any update to the interface document will automatically notify relevant personnel, which greatly reduces the communication cost of R&D testing, and brings the output of interface documents and the writing of interface test cases to the R&D stage, exposing interface problems as early as possible, realizing left-shift testing, and continuously monitoring the interface after it goes online, realizing right-shift testing.

[0049] Among them, when the interface document in step one is produced, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of each interface definition, parameter and other data in the document.

[0050] Unified management of interface documents can help developers and testers understand requirements and interface information more quickly, thereby improving development and testing efficiency.

[0051] Among them, the interface document in step one needs to be updated in a timely manner as the requirements change to ensure synchronization with the development progress.

[0052] Unified management of interface documents can facilitate subsequent maintenance work, including modification and updating.

[0053] Among them, when the interface document is updated in step 2, the test case needs to be updated synchronously in time to avoid test errors caused by inconsistency between the document and the test case.

[0054] Once there is any update to the interface document, relevant personnel will be automatically notified, which greatly reduces the communication costs of R&D testing.

[0055] Among them, the test environment in step 3 needs to ensure that it is consistent with the production environment.

[0056] The test environment includes hardware configuration, software version, network environment, etc. Only by testing in a similar environment can we more accurately simulate the production scenario and discover potential problems.

[0057] Among them, after the bug in step 4 is reported, the R&D personnel need to handle it in a timely manner and record the bug.

[0058] By automatically reporting bugs, the testing process can be automated and systematized.

[0059] The bug report in step 5 should include detailed reproduction steps, error screenshots, log information, etc., so that R&D personnel can quickly locate the problem.

[0060] By conducting a second test on the bug, we can verify whether the problem has been solved and ensure that all problems are properly handled to ensure product quality.

[0061] Among them, in step six, after the APP is released, it is necessary to continue to pay attention to the performance and user feedback of the APP to ensure the stable operation of the APP. At the same time, user feedback is collected to identify problems in a timely manner and optimize them.

[0062] By continuously monitoring the APP and promptly handling possible problems, we ensure that users can enjoy a high-quality product experience.

[0063] Among them, the test scenario in step seven needs to be designed according to the user's actual usage scenario to ensure the effectiveness of the test.

[0064] By assembling interface test cases into test scenarios and simulating actual user usage scenarios for regular inspections, the stability and reliability of the product in the online environment can be ensured.
