[0040] 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.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , is a flow chart of a method for testing an Internet of Things gateway device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0042] Obtain the communication test request and status monitoring report of the gateway device under test;

[0043] Generate a first test instruction for device data downlink test according to the communication test request;

[0044] The first test instruction is transmitted to the gateway device to be tested through the Internet of Things platform to perform a data downlink test operation on the gateway device to be tested, and a first test result representing the data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is obtained;

[0045] Generate a second test instruction for device data uplink test according to the communication test request;

[0046] According to the second test instruction and the status monitoring report, a data uplink test operation is performed on the gateway device to be tested, and a second test result representing a data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is obtained through the Internet of Things platform;

[0047] A judgment is made according to the first test instruction, the second test instruction, the first test result and the second test result, and a test report of the gateway device to be tested is generated.

[0048] Specifically, the status monitoring report includes the operation data of the gateway device, such as temperature and flow rate, and the performance parameters of the gateway device. The data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is a test from the Internet of Things platform to the gateway device to be tested to the test device, which tests the communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway to be tested. When the test device receives the communication test request of the gateway device to be tested, it generates a first test instruction for the device data downlink test according to the communication test request; then, according to the first test instruction and the Internet of Things platform, the data downlink test operation is performed on the gateway device to be tested, and a first test result for representing the data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is obtained. At the same time, when the test device receives the communication request, it generates a second test instruction for the device data uplink test according to the communication test request; then, according to the second test instruction and the status monitoring report, the gateway device to be tested is tested. The second test result for representing the data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is obtained through the Internet of Things platform. The data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested represents the test from the test device to the gateway device to be tested to the Internet of Things platform. Finally, a judgment is made according to the first test instruction, the second test instruction, the first test result and the second test result, and a test report of the gateway device to be tested is generated to implement the test of the two-way communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway device to be tested.

[0049] Preferably, the data downlink test includes:

[0050] Sending the first test instruction to the gateway device to be tested through the Internet of Things platform, so that the gateway device to be tested responds according to the first test instruction, generates a first instruction response result, and transmits the first instruction response result to the test device;

[0051] By comparing the first instruction response result and the first test instruction, it is determined whether the gateway device under test correctly responds to the first test instruction, and a first test result representing a data downlink test of the gateway device under test is obtained.

[0052] Specifically, the gateway device to be tested is used to respond according to the first test instruction and generate a first instruction response result;

[0053] Responding according to the first test instruction to generate a first instruction response result includes:

[0054] Parsing the first test instruction through a preset second communication protocol to extract an instruction parsing result;

[0055] The command parsing result is encoded and converted through a preset first communication protocol to generate a first command response result.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test device sends a first test instruction to the Internet of Things platform, and sends the first test instruction to the gateway device under test through the Internet of Things platform. After receiving the first test instruction, the gateway device under test uses the second communication protocol to parse the first test instruction, extracts the instruction parsing results such as the instruction type and instruction operation parameters, and then the gateway device under test converts the instruction parsing result using the first communication protocol to generate a first instruction response result, and then the gateway device under test transmits the first instruction response result to the test device. The test device receives the first instruction response result, compares the first instruction response result with the first test instruction, and if the first instruction response result is inconsistent with the instruction content corresponding to the first test instruction, it means that the gateway device under test fails to execute the first test instruction, the gateway device under test does not correctly respond to the first test instruction, and the first test result for indicating that the data downlink test of the gateway device under test fails. At the same time, if the first instruction response result is inconsistent with the first test instruction, it also means that the gateway device under test does not correctly forward the first test instruction, and the first test result for indicating that the data downlink test of the gateway device under test fails.

[0057] Preferably, the data uplink test includes:

[0058] After encoding the status monitoring report through a preset first communication protocol, a status monitoring data packet is obtained;

[0059] Sending the second test instruction and the status monitoring data packet to the gateway device to be tested, so that the gateway device to be tested responds to the status monitoring data packet according to the second test instruction and the preset second communication protocol, generates a second response result, and transmits the second response result to the test device through the Internet of Things platform;

[0060] By comparing the second response result, the second test instruction and the status monitoring report, it is determined whether the gateway device under test correctly responds to the second test instruction, and a second test result representing the data downlink test of the gateway device under test is obtained.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test device encodes the status monitoring report through a preset first communication protocol to obtain a status monitoring data packet, and then the test device sends the second test instruction and the status monitoring data packet to the gateway device to be tested, and the gateway device to be tested responds to the status monitoring data packet according to the second test instruction and the preset second communication protocol, generates a second response result, and transmits the second response result to the test device through the Internet of Things platform. After the Internet of Things platform receives the second response result of the gateway device to be tested, it sends the second response result to the test device. The test device receives the second response result sent by the Internet of Things platform, compares the second response result, the second test instruction and the status monitoring report, determines whether the gateway device to be tested correctly responds to the second test instruction, and obtains a second test result for indicating the data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested. The data in the second response result is inconsistent with the status monitoring report, indicating that the reported data of the gateway device to be tested is not executed according to the second test instruction, or the gateway device to be tested does not correctly forward the second test instruction of the test device, and the first test result for indicating the data downlink test of the gateway device to be tested is that the data uplink test of the gateway device to be tested fails.

[0062] Preferably, the first communication protocol includes a traditional communication protocol; and the second communication protocol includes an Internet of Things communication protocol.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a traditional power communication protocol (such as IEC 104) and an Internet of Things communication protocol (such as MQTT) are used.

[0064] Schematically, the test device is a sub-device of the gateway device to be tested. Using the test device as a sub-device can more accurately simulate the network environment and data interaction in actual use. This configuration makes the test results more realistic reference value, because in actual deployment, the sub-device usually communicates with the outside world through the gateway. When the test device is used as a sub-device, there is no need to build a complex external test environment, because the sub-device can be directly connected to the existing network architecture. This not only simplifies the test steps, but also reduces the probability of error. Using the test device as a sub-device can effectively test the data forwarding capability of the gateway. This is particularly important for evaluating the performance of the gateway when processing large amounts of data, especially in high-concurrency scenarios. Gateway devices usually need to support multiple communication protocols to be compatible with different types of sub-devices. Including the test device in the sub-device list of the gateway helps to test and verify the compatibility and interoperability of these protocols.

[0065] By implementing this embodiment, the gateway device to be tested is connected to the test device and the Internet of Things platform in pairs through a network. By generating a first test instruction and a second test instruction, the test environment is standardized, the operation process is simplified, and manual intervention is reduced. Data uplink testing and data downlink testing are implemented through the test device, the gateway device to be tested, and the Internet of Things platform, so as to test the two-way communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway device to be tested, ensuring that the communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway device to be tested in different scenarios can be fully verified.

[0071] Specifically, the gateway device to be tested is used to respond according to the first test instruction and generate a first instruction response result;

[0072] Responding according to the first test instruction to generate a first instruction response result includes:

[0073] Parsing the first test instruction through a preset second communication protocol to extract an instruction parsing result;

[0074] The command parsing result is encoded and converted through a preset first communication protocol to generate a first command response result.

[0075] Preferably, the testing device comprises:

[0076] A connector module, used for network connection between the test device and the gateway device to be tested;

[0077] An Internet of Things platform interface module, used for connecting the test device with the Internet of Things platform;

[0078] The first communication protocol simulation module is used to simulate the first communication protocol so that the status monitoring report is encoded through the preset first communication protocol to obtain a status monitoring data packet.

[0079] Preferably, the first communication protocol includes a traditional communication protocol; and the second communication protocol includes an Internet of Things communication protocol.

[0080] Illustratively, the test device is a sub-device of the gateway device to be tested.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test device includes: a connector module, which is used for the network connection between the test device and the gateway device to be tested, responsible for the communication connection between the test device and the gateway device to be tested, and ensures that data can be smoothly transmitted between the two; an Internet of Things platform interface module, which is used for connecting the test device to the Internet of Things platform, and registering the gateway device to be tested on the Internet of Things platform, and registering the test device as a sub-device of the gateway device to be tested; a first communication protocol simulation module, which is used to simulate the first communication protocol, so that the status monitoring report is encoded through the preset first communication protocol to obtain a status monitoring data packet, and can also simulate a variety of traditional power communication protocols (such as Modbus, IEC103, IEC104, etc.), and provide data to the gateway device to be tested. At the same time, the module also provides management services for externally displaying the status information of the test device itself (such as the status history record of receiving or sending data), responding to related commands (such as actively reporting data) and other services; and a test module is also provided for designing and implementing an automated test case set for testing the two-way communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway device to be tested. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test device accesses the Internet of Things platform through the Internet of Things platform interface module, registers the test device as a sub-device of the device under test; then confirms the connection configuration from the Internet of Things platform, configures the gateway device under test, and confirms that the gateway device under test is connected to the Internet of Things platform; then uses the connector module to connect the test device and the gateway device under test, and confirms that the network connection is successful; then the test device performs a test to test the two-way communication protocol conversion capability of the gateway device under test, which mainly includes two direction tests:

[0082] IoT platform->gateway device to be tested->test device direction:

[0083] The test module calls the Internet of Things platform service, and sends data instructions (such as a data general call command) for the first communication protocol simulation module from the Internet of Things platform to the gateway device under test; the test module accesses the management service of the first communication protocol simulation module, obtains the received data information, and verifies whether the gateway device under test correctly converts the Internet of Things communication protocol into the traditional power communication protocol and sends it to the first communication protocol simulation module; if the verification fails, an error analysis prompt is given. For example, the test module calls the Internet of Things platform service, sends the data instruction DataCmdA for its sub-device (the first communication protocol simulation module of the test device) to the gateway device under test, and records the DataCmdA information; the test module calls the Internet of Things platform service, obtains the result of the gateway device under test executing the data instruction DataCmdA as ResultA; if the intelligent gateway fails to execute the data instruction DataCmdA, the failure information is recorded and the verification is completed; the test module accesses the management service of the first communication protocol simulation module, obtains the data instruction information received by the first communication protocol simulation module, and confirms whether the simulation module has correctly received the DataCmdA instruction; if the simulation module does not receive the DataCmdA instruction, the failure information is recorded and the verification is completed; obtains the response result ResultB of the first communication protocol simulation module to the DataCmdA instruction, compares ResultA and ResultB, and confirms whether the intelligent gateway forwards it correctly.

[0084] Test equipment -> Gateway device to be tested -> IoT platform direction:

[0085] The first communication protocol simulation module of the test device sends data (such as status report or monitoring data) to the gateway device under test; the test module calls the first communication protocol simulation module service (such as active data upload command) to send data to the gateway device under test; the test module calls the Internet of Things platform service to obtain the data reception result, and verifies whether the gateway device under test correctly forwards the data reported by the first communication protocol simulation module to the Internet of Things platform; if the verification fails, an error analysis is given. For example, the test module constructs a monitoring data report TestReportA, calls the first communication protocol simulation module (such as an active data sending command), and commands it to send data to the gateway device under test; after receiving the command, the first communication protocol simulation module encodes TestReportA with the traditional power communication protocol (IEC 104) and actively sends it to the gateway device under test; the gateway device under test receives the data report, parses the data report, encodes the data report with the Internet of Things communication protocol (MQTT) and reports it to the Internet of Things platform as a data report of the sub-device (the first communication protocol simulation module of the test device); the test module calls the Internet of Things platform service, obtains the latest reported data DeviceReportA of the sub-device (the first communication protocol simulation module) of the gateway device under test, compares TestReportA and DeviceReportA, and confirms whether the gateway device under test forwards it correctly.

[0086] Schematically, the gateway device under test parses the received data instructions encoded using the Internet of Things communication protocol (MQTT), and extracts information such as the instruction type, sub-device (the first communication protocol simulation module of the test device), and operating parameters; according to the instruction parsing result, the received instruction is converted into a corresponding instruction for the target sub-device, and sent to the target sub-device using the traditional power communication protocol (IEC 104) encoding; the gateway device under test waits for the target sub-device to respond, and after receiving the response result returned by the sub-device in the traditional power communication protocol (IEC 104), parses the result data, converts the result into the Internet of Things communication protocol (MQTT) encoding, and sends it to the Internet of Things platform.

Represents a second test result of a data downlink test of the gateway device under test; judging based on the first test instruction, the second test instruction, the first test result and the second test result, generating a test report for the gateway device under test; the Internet of Things platform is used to receive the first test instruction of the test device, and transmit the first test instruction to the gateway device under test; receive the second response result of the gateway device under test, and transmit the second response result to the test device; the gateway device under test is used to respond according to the first test instruction, generate a first instruction response result, and transmit the first instruction response result to the test device; respond to the status monitoring data packet according to the second test instruction and a preset second communication protocol, generate a second response result, and transmit the second response result to the test device through the Internet of Things platform.
