Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a method for automatically initializing a hardware testing platform, and relates to the technical field of hardware testing. Background Art

[0002] In the server testing process, the initialization of the hardware testing environment is undoubtedly the most time-consuming part. Hardware testing needs to adapt to multiple operating system versions and their corresponding multiple tool versions, and the workload of the combination process is extremely large. In the prior art, testers need to manually install each operating system image version and manually install each specific tool version under the corresponding operating system version. This manual operation is not only extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very likely to cause serious quality accidents due to incomplete version coverage or version installation errors. These mistakes will not only increase testing costs, but may also delay project progress and have a negative impact on the overall testing results. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for automatically initializing a hardware testing platform, which can automatically and quickly complete the initialization of a specified system version and a tool system according to preset tasks. Through a precise automated process, the error rate caused by human operation is effectively reduced, and the initialization efficiency of the hardware testing environment is significantly improved.

[0004] The specific scheme proposed by the present invention is:

[0005] The present invention provides a method for automatically initializing a hardware test platform, establishing a system library and a test tool library,

[0006] Arrange and schedule the initial test task through the task manager, and bind the test task to the test script. Configure the test task through the task manager, including configuring the execution time, script path and parameter settings of the test task.

[0007] The script manager manages the upload, editing, execution and logging of test scripts, provides script templates and examples, and integrates the script testing environment to verify the correctness of the test script before formal execution.

[0008] The hardware test environment is connected to the hardware test platform through the device manager using the BMC interface, and instructions from the task manager are received. The instruction content includes the corresponding test tasks and test scripts. The device manager sends instructions to perform automated initial operations: according to the parameter instructions in the test script, the corresponding operating system ISO image is retrieved from the system library for installation and deployment, and the corresponding version of the test tool is obtained from the test tool library for installation, and feedback from the hardware test platform is received and the status flag of the corresponding test task in the task manager is updated according to the feedback.

[0009] Furthermore, the establishment of a system library in the method of automatically initializing a hardware testing platform includes: storing different versions of operating system ISO media, using the network file system NFS to store ISO files, supporting upload, download and version management of ISO files, and adding a checksum and verification mechanism for ISO files to ensure that the downloaded ISO files are intact. At the same time, a cache for ISO files is added to reduce repeated downloads.

[0010] Furthermore, the method of automatically initializing a hardware testing platform describes establishing a testing tool library, including: storing testing tools for different systems and different versions, supporting software package formats for different operating systems, supporting the upload, download and version management of testing tools, and integrating dependency management tools to automatically resolve dependencies between tools, support pre-compilation and packaging of tools, and reduce installation time.

[0011] Furthermore, the method for automatically initializing a hardware test platform sets task priorities through a task manager, executes high-priority tasks first when resources are limited, and adds task dependencies to ensure that tasks are executed in sequence.

[0012] Furthermore, the method for automatically initializing a hardware testing platform adds hardware testing status monitoring and alarm functions through a device manager to timely discover and handle faults occurring during hardware testing.

[0013] The present invention also provides a device for automatically initializing a hardware test platform, a database management module, a task manager module, a script manager module and a device manager module.

[0014] The database management module establishes the system library and test tool library.

[0015] The task manager module arranges and schedules the initialization test tasks and binds the test tasks to the test scripts. The test tasks are configured through the task manager, including the execution time, script path and parameter settings of the test tasks.

[0016] The script manager module manages the upload, editing, execution and logging of test scripts, provides script templates and examples, integrates the script test environment, and verifies the correctness of the test script before the test script is officially executed.

[0017] The device manager module uses the BMC interface to connect the hardware test environment with the hardware test platform, receives instructions from the task manager, and the instruction content includes the corresponding test tasks and test scripts. The device manager issues instructions to perform automated initial operations: according to the parameter instructions in the test script, the corresponding operating system ISO image is retrieved from the system library for installation and deployment, and the corresponding version of the test tool is obtained from the test tool library for installation, and feedback from the hardware test platform is received and the status flag of the corresponding test task in the task manager is updated according to the feedback.

[0018] Furthermore, the database management module of the device for automatically initializing the hardware test platform establishes a system library, including: storing different versions of operating system ISO media, using the network file system NFS to store ISO files, supporting the upload, download and version management of ISO files, and adding a checksum and verification mechanism for ISO files to ensure that the downloaded ISO files are intact. At the same time, a cache for ISO files is added to reduce repeated downloads.

[0019] Furthermore, the database management module of the device for automatically initializing the hardware testing platform establishes a testing tool library, including: storing testing tools of different systems and versions, supporting software package formats of different operating systems, supporting uploading, downloading and version management of testing tools, and integrating dependency management tools to automatically resolve dependencies between tools, support pre-compilation and packaging of tools, and reduce installation time.

[0020] Furthermore, the task manager module of the device for automatically initializing a hardware test platform sets task priorities, executes high-priority tasks first when resources are limited, and adds task dependencies to ensure that tasks are executed in sequence.

[0021] Furthermore, the device manager module of the apparatus for automatically initializing a hardware test platform adds hardware test status monitoring and alarm functions to timely discover and handle faults that occur during hardware testing.
