[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solutions according to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0044] It should be emphasized that the term “include / comprises” when used herein refers to the presence of features, elements, steps or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, steps or components.

[0045] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the term “connection” herein may refer not only to a direct connection but also to an indirect connection with an intermediate.

[0046] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar components, or the same or similar steps.

[0047] In order to solve the problem that existing test cases need to be manually written by test engineers, which leads to the storage of a large amount of repetitive work, high labor costs, low writing efficiency, and incomplete coverage of the test cases obtained by manual writing, the present invention provides a method for automatically generating test cases for a banking business system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101 to S105:

[0048] Step S101: triggering automatic generation of use cases according to preset rules.

[0049] Step S102: Read the basic bank information, where the basic information at least includes the bank name, bank ID and bank service unique identifier.

[0050] Step S103: Read the bank configuration information according to the basic information, and generate the use case name and expected result according to the configuration information.

[0051] Step S104: Read bank characteristic information according to the basic information, and generate use case test steps according to the characteristic information.

[0052] Step S105: A test case set is obtained by integrating the test case name, expected result and test steps, and stored in the bank dimension.

[0053] like Figure 2 The figure shows a flow chart of the automatic generation method of test cases for banking system.

[0054] Before step S101, bank information is managed in advance, including:

[0055] Add or maintain bank feature information and store the feature information in the preset database. The bank feature information includes business model type, file dimension type, whether SMS notification is used, whether to check message fields, whether to check attachment information, whether to sign the agreement online, etc. Feature information will change with business changes. For example, if you add or modify bank feature information, changes in feature information will affect the test steps of the test case.

[0056] Add or maintain basic bank information, associate basic information with characteristic information according to bank ID, and store it in the preset database. Each bank has a unique ID for precise location and management in subsequent operations.

[0057] In some embodiments, the characteristic information and basic information are stored in the preset database in a structured form for easy query and management.

[0058] The banking business system is used to store bank configuration information, including whether the bank requires the three-in-one enterprise certificate, which fields are required for bank messages, whether the fields are required, which attachments are sent to the bank, whether the attachments are required, etc. Changes in configuration information will affect the number, name, and expected results of test cases.

[0059] In step S101, the use case is automatically generated according to the preset rules. For example, the use case is automatically generated through the pipeline, and a mapping relationship between the bank ID and the bank service is established. When the corresponding bank service is deployed or started, a notification message is sent using the preset notification mechanism to trigger the automatic generation of the use case of the bank corresponding to the bank ID. The pipeline refers to a continuous integration system, which includes a complete process control system such as software code packaging, deployment, and testing.

[0060] In some embodiments, the automatic generation of use cases may also be triggered manually.

[0061] In step S102, after the automated use case generation is triggered, the basic bank information stored in the preset database is read to obtain the bank name, bank ID and bank service unique identifier (channelCode).

[0062] In step S103, after obtaining the unique bank service identifier, the program sends a request to the banking system in the form of an interface using the unique bank service identifier. The banking system reads the configuration information of the corresponding bank based on the unique bank service identifier and returns the read configuration information in the form of an interface.

[0063] The program assembles the test case name and expected results based on the returned configuration information and stores them in the preset database.

[0064] In step S104, bank characteristic information is read from a preset database according to the bank ID in the bank basic information, and test steps of the test case are generated according to the read characteristic information.

[0065] In step S105, according to the test case name and expected result generated in step S103 and the test steps generated in step S104, the test cases are integrated to construct a test case set.

[0066] The generated test case sets are classified and stored according to the bank dimension for subsequent query and management.

[0067] In some embodiments, after the test case set is constructed, the test case set can be previewed online, executed online, and downloaded locally according to actual needs. Specifically:

[0068] When an online preview is required, select a specific bank to query and preview the test case details of the specific bank.

[0069] When online execution is required, a specific bank is selected, the test cases generated by the bank are obtained, a specific test case is selected and subsequent execution operations are triggered.

[0070] When local download is required, select a specific bank, obtain the test cases generated by it, select the test cases to be downloaded, write the selected test case data into Execl, generate an Excel file and return it to the user, which is downloaded to the user's local computer.

[0071] Based on the above description, the method for automatically generating test cases for a banking system provided by the present invention can accurately and automatically generate test cases corresponding to multiple banks by only configuring bank characteristic information, without the need for manual writing.
