[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a multi-node operation and maintenance script intelligent audit method is provided, including the following:
[0053] S101, obtaining a target script and a script type corresponding to the target script.
[0054] The weights of different dimensions (such as security dimension, performance dimension, readability and / or maintainability dimension, and functional integrity dimension) are determined according to the type of the target script (such as batch script, Shell script, Python script, etc.). Different types of scripts may have different importance and requirements in different dimensions.
[0055] S102: Determine the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions according to the script type.
[0056] It is understandable that different types of scripts have their specific uses, execution environments, and language characteristics, which will affect the weighting of dimensions. Next, determine the multiple dimensions to be audited, including at least security, performance, readability and / or maintainability, and functional completeness. These dimensions are key aspects of evaluating script quality, and each dimension has its specific audit criteria and importance.
[0057] Specifically, weights are assigned to each dimension based on the script type. The weight assignment should be based on the characteristics of the script type and the needs of the actual application scenario. For example, for scripts that process sensitive information, the weight of the security dimension should be higher; for scripts that need to run efficiently, the weight of the performance dimension should be higher. Optionally, the dimension weights may not be fixed, but need to be dynamically adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0058] Optionally, the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions can be determined as follows:
[0059] Method 1): By analyzing the audit results and feedback of similar scripts in the past, the frequency and severity of problems in each dimension are counted, and the weight of each dimension is inferred. Collect and analyze a large amount of historical data, use statistical methods (such as variance analysis, principal component analysis, etc.) to determine the relative size of the impact of each dimension on the script quality, and then assign weights.
[0060] Method 2): Use a multi-objective decision analysis method to treat script review as a multi-objective decision problem. By comprehensively considering the objectives and constraints of multiple dimensions, a specific decision analysis method (such as the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the priority diagram method) is used to determine the weights. First, a decision hierarchy is constructed to clarify the objective layer, criterion layer, and solution layer; then experts compare the elements of the same level in pairs to construct a judgment matrix; finally, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the judgment matrix are calculated to obtain the relative weights of each dimension.
[0061] S103, review the target script from multiple dimensions according to the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions, and obtain a review score.
[0062] Among them, the multiple dimensions include at least a security dimension, a performance dimension, a readability and / or maintainability dimension, and a functional integrity dimension.
[0063] Optionally, ensure that the weights of various dimensions have been determined according to the script type, such as the security dimension weight is 0.3, the performance dimension weight is 0.25, the readability and maintainability dimension weights are 0.15 and 0.1 respectively, and the functional completeness dimension weight is 0.2.
[0064] Develop specific audit standards for each dimension. For example, the security dimension may include whether the code has security vulnerabilities, whether there is a risk of data leakage, etc.; the performance dimension may include script execution speed, resource consumption, etc. According to the established audit standards, audit the target scripts one by one. During the audit process, record the problems and scores of each dimension.
[0065] For each dimension, a score is given based on the audit results. The score range can be 0-10, indicating the severity of the problem or the degree of satisfaction of the dimension. For example, if there is no problem in the security dimension, it will get 10 points; if there is a serious security problem, it may get 0 points.
[0066] The total audit score is calculated using the following formula: Total audit score = security dimension score × security dimension weight + performance dimension score × performance dimension weight + readability dimension score × readability dimension weight + maintainability dimension score × maintainability dimension weight + functional completeness dimension score × functional completeness dimension weight.
[0067] S104: When the audit score is lower than the score threshold, the target script is fed back to the audit device corresponding to the auditor.
[0068] Optionally, check the audit score of the target script and compare it with the preset score threshold. If the audit score is lower than the score threshold, it means that the script may have problems or deficiencies in some aspects and needs further review and improvement. Determine the auditor responsible for the script audit and its corresponding audit device based on the audit history, type or other relevant information of the script. Prepare detailed feedback information, including the audit score of the script, the score of each dimension, the existing problems and improvement suggestions. Send the target script and feedback information to the audit device corresponding to the auditor through appropriate communication methods (such as network transmission, email sending, etc.).
[0069] S105, obtaining the script audit result returned by the auditor from the audit device.
[0070] Optionally, after feeding the target script back to the audit device, you need to wait for the audit party to review the script and return the audit results. Check the audit device regularly to see if there are new audit results returned. This can be achieved through polling, event triggering, or push notifications. Once there are new audit results on the audit device, receive these data immediately. The audit results may include modification suggestions for the script, a decision to pass or reject, and any additional comments or instructions.
[0071] Parse the review results and convert them into a format that can be understood and processed. This may include extracting modification suggestions, updating script status, recording review comments, etc. Based on the review results, update the status of the target script. For example, if the script is approved, mark it as "reviewed"; if the script is rejected, mark it as "needs modification". It may also be necessary to notify the developers, testers, or other stakeholders related to the script so that they understand the review status of the script and take further actions as needed.
[0072] The above-mentioned multi-node operation and maintenance script intelligent audit method can greatly improve the efficiency of the audit by automatically determining the weights of multiple dimensions according to the script type and conducting a multi-dimensional audit of the target script. The multi-dimensional audit ensures that the script is evaluated in multiple key aspects (such as security, performance, readability, maintainability, and functional integrity), thereby improving the accuracy of the audit. By conducting a strict multi-dimensional audit of the script, problems in the script can be discovered and corrected in a timely manner, thereby improving the overall quality of the script. The audit scoring mechanism enables the quality problems of the script to be quantified, making it easier for developers or auditors to quickly locate and improve them. Dynamically adjusting the weights of multiple dimensions according to the script type makes the audit process more flexible and can adapt to different types of script audit requirements. Through the automated audit and feedback mechanism, project managers can more conveniently monitor the audit status and quality of the script.
[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the script type includes at least one of an application script type, a data processing script type, a system management script type, a machine learning script type, and an embedded system script.
[0074] Among them, application script type: This type of script is mainly used to develop applications, such as web applications, desktop applications, or mobile applications. They usually contain user interaction logic, business logic processing, and communication with application backend services.
[0075] Data processing script type: This type of script focuses on data processing tasks, such as data cleaning, transformation, aggregation, and analysis. They are often used for batch processing or real-time data stream processing, and may involve database operations, file reading and writing, etc.
[0076] System administration script type: These scripts are used to perform system administration tasks, such as system configuration, monitoring, backup, and recovery. They may involve operating system-level operations, such as process management, file permission settings, etc.
[0077] Machine Learning Script Type: This type of script focuses on the training, evaluation, and deployment of machine learning models. They usually include steps such as data processing, feature extraction, model training, prediction, and performance evaluation.
[0078] Embedded system script type: This type of script is used for the development and management of embedded systems, such as microcontroller programming, device driver development, etc. They are usually closely related to the hardware and need to consider resource constraints and real-time requirements.
[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, according to the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions, the target script is reviewed from multiple dimensions to obtain the review score, including:
[0080] S201, according to the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions and the target audit strategy, the target script is audited from multiple dimensions to obtain the dimension scores corresponding to each dimension.
[0081] Optionally, specify the dimensions that need to be audited, which include at least security, performance, readability and / or maintainability, and functional integrity. Based on the preset target audit strategy, these strategies may include specific audit standards, methods or tools to guide the audit process of each dimension. For each dimension, apply the corresponding audit strategy to audit the target script. This may involve code review, performance testing, readability assessment, etc. Based on the audit results, give a score for each dimension. This score reflects the performance or satisfaction of the target script in that dimension.
[0082] S202: Determine the audit score based on the dimension score corresponding to each dimension.
[0083] Optionally, collect scores on all dimensions, which represent the performance or quality of the target script in various aspects. Use pre-determined dimension weights that reflect the importance of different dimensions in the overall review. Calculate the overall review score of the target script by multiplying the score of each dimension with its corresponding weight and adding the results. The review score is a comprehensive indicator used to evaluate the overall quality or performance of the target script. Higher scores indicate that the script performs well in multiple dimensions, while lower scores may point out areas that need improvement.
[0084] Furthermore, according to the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions, according to the dimension weights corresponding to the multiple dimensions, according to the target audit strategy, the target script is audited from multiple dimensions to obtain the dimension scores corresponding to each dimension, including:
[0085] (1) According to the dimension weight corresponding to the security dimension, the target script is audited in the security dimension from at least one of the code injection protection sub-dimension, the data verification sub-dimension, and the permission control sub-dimension to obtain the dimension score corresponding to the security dimension.
[0086] (2) According to the dimension weight corresponding to the performance dimension, the target script is audited in terms of the performance dimension from at least one of the execution speed sub-dimension, the resource sub-dimension, and the scalability sub-dimension to obtain a dimension score corresponding to the performance dimension.
[0087] (3) According to the dimension weights corresponding to the readability and / or maintainability dimensions, a dimension review of the readability and / or maintainability dimensions is performed on the target script from at least one of the code clarity sub-dimension and the comment sub-dimension to obtain a dimension score corresponding to the readability and / or maintainability dimensions.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, according to the dimension weight corresponding to the security dimension, the target script is audited in the security dimension from the code injection protection sub-dimension, the data verification sub-dimension, and the permission control sub-dimension to obtain the dimension score corresponding to the security dimension, including:
[0090] (11) From the code injection protection sub-dimension, verify the input content in the target script and obtain the first security score;
[0091] Exemplarily, the evaluation method of the code injection protection sub-dimension is:

[0093] Is the input escaped or validated?
[0094] Scoring criteria:
[0095] 0-2 points: There is an obvious risk of injection and no protective measures are in place.
[0096] 3-5 points: There is an injection risk, but there are some protective measures.
[0097] 6-8 points: There is a small injection risk, and there are good protection measures.
[0098] 9-10 points: There is no injection risk, and all user input is strictly validated and escaped.
[0099] (12) From the data verification sub-dimension, the format, specification and content of the data in the target script are verified to obtain a second security score;
[0100] Exemplarily, the evaluation method of the data verification sub-dimension is:
[0101] Is the format, range, etc. of the data entered by the user verified?
[0102] Is adequate checking done before input?
[0103] Scoring criteria:
[0104] 0-2 points: No data verification was performed.
[0105] 3-5 points: Some data verification is done, but it is incomplete or not strict.
[0106] 6-8 points: Comprehensive data verification has been conducted, but verification of certain specific scenarios may be lacking.
[0107] 9-10 points: Rigorous and comprehensive data validation was performed, covering all possible input situations.
[0108] (13) From the permission control sub-dimension, verify the execution permission of the target script and obtain the third security score;
[0109] Exemplarily, the evaluation method of the permission control sub-dimension is:
[0110] Are appropriate permissions used when executing the script (such as execution by a non-root user)?
[0111] Are the read and write permissions for files and directories set appropriately?
[0112] Scoring criteria:
[0113] 0-2 points: No permission control is performed and all operations are performed with the highest permissions.

[0117] (14) Determine the dimension score corresponding to the security dimension based on the first security score, the second security score, the third security score, and the dimension weight corresponding to the security dimension.
[0118] From the code injection protection sub-dimension, check whether there are potential code injection vulnerabilities in the script, such as SQL injection, XSS attack, command injection, etc. Review all input validation and data cleaning mechanisms. Check whether parameterized queries or precompiled statements are used to prevent SQL injection. Review HTML output to ensure that all user-entered data is properly encoded to prevent XSS attacks. Check whether there are appropriate mechanisms to limit the commands or scripts that can be executed to prevent command injection. Ensure that all input data is properly validated and cleaned to prevent the injection of malicious data.
[0119] From the data validation sub-dimension, review the data validation logic of all input points to ensure that they conform to the expected format and type. Check whether there is an appropriate error handling mechanism to handle invalid or unexpected input. Evaluate whether the data cleaning process is strict enough to prevent potential injection attacks.
[0120] From the permission control sub-dimension, ensure that the permission control mechanism in the script is effective and secure to prevent unauthorized access and operations.

Check whether there are appropriate access control lists (ACLs) or role-based access controls (RBAC) to implement fine-grained permission management. Evaluate whether there are mechanisms to detect and respond to privilege escalation attacks or other unauthorized access attempts.
[0121] After completing the above review, assign a score to each sub-dimension based on its weight and the number or severity of issues found. Then, add up the weighted sum of these scores to get the overall score for the security dimension. For example, if the weight of code injection protection is 0.4, the weight of data validation is 0.3, and the weight of permission control is 0.3, then the overall score can be calculated by the following formula:
[0122] Overall score = (code injection protection sub-dimension score * 0.4) + (data verification sub-dimension score * 0.3) + (authority control sub-dimension score * 0.3)
[0123] In this way, the performance of the target script in terms of security dimensions can be comprehensively evaluated, and appropriate improvement measures can be taken as needed.
[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, according to the dimension weight corresponding to the performance dimension, the target script is audited in the performance dimension from the execution speed sub-dimension, the resource sub-dimension, and the scalability sub-dimension to obtain the dimension score corresponding to the performance dimension, including:

[0130] 0-2 points: The execution time is obviously too long and there is an obvious performance bottleneck.
[0131] 3-5 points: The execution time is long and there is some room for performance optimization.
[0132] 6-8 points: The execution time is short, but there is still room for further optimization.
[0133] 9-10 points: The execution time is very short and the performance is excellent.
[0134] (22) From the resource usage sub-dimension, the resource usage of the target device when the target script is executed in the target device is verified to obtain a second performance score.

[0136] Evaluation method:
[0137] Is the script's memory and CPU usage reasonable while it's running?
[0138] Does the script cause excessive use of system resources (e.g. high memory consumption, high CPU usage)?
[0139] Scoring criteria:
[0140] 0-2 points: Resource usage is obviously too high and may cause system instability.

[0151] 6-8 points: Good performance with slight degradation in large data sets or high concurrency.
[0152] 9-10 points: The performance is very stable with no noticeable drop in performance under large data sets or high concurrency conditions.

[0157] After completing the above review, assign a score to each sub-dimension based on its weight and the number or severity of issues found. Then, add up the weighted sum of these scores to get the overall score for the performance dimension. For example, if the weight of execution speed is 0.5, the weight of resources is 0.3, and the weight of scalability is 0.2, then the overall score can be calculated by the following formula:
[0158] Overall score = (execution speed sub-dimension score * 0.5) + (resource sub-dimension score * 0.3) + (scalability sub-dimension score * 0.2)
[0159] In this way, the performance of the target script in the performance dimension can be comprehensively evaluated, and corresponding optimization measures can be taken as needed.
[0160] In an exemplary embodiment, according to the dimension weight corresponding to the readability and / or maintainability dimension, the readability and / or maintainability dimension of the target script is reviewed from at least one of the code clarity sub-dimension and the comment sub-dimension to obtain the dimension score corresponding to the readability and / or maintainability dimension, including:

[0162] Exemplarily, the code clarity sub-dimension is evaluated as follows:
[0163] Is the code structure clear and the logic easy to understand?
[0164] Are the variable names descriptive and easy to understand?
[0165] Are deeply nested and complex conditional statements avoided?
[0166] Scoring criteria:

[0182] Evaluate the script's code to see if it is clear and easy to understand, and if it complies with coding standards and best practices. Check if the code follows consistent naming conventions and indentation styles. Evaluate if the code's logical structure is clear, and if there are too many nested or complex conditional statements. Check if meaningful variable and function names are used to make it easier to understand the purpose and functionality of the code. Evaluate if appropriate design patterns or architectures are used to improve the readability of the code.
[0183] Evaluate whether the comments in the script are sufficient and useful to help understand the function and purpose of the code.

[0184] Furthermore, the target script can be evaluated from the code style dimension. The code style dimension is evaluated in the following way:
[0185] Is a consistent coding style and best practices followed?
[0186] Do you follow relevant coding standards (such as PEP 8, Google's Python Style Guide, etc.)?

[0193] After completing the above review, assign a score to each sub-dimension based on its weight and the number or severity of issues found. These scores are then weighted and summed to obtain an overall score for the readability and / or maintainability dimensions. For example, if the weight of code clarity is 0.6 and the weight of comments is 0.4, then the overall score can be calculated by the following formula:
[0194] Overall score = (code clarity sub-dimension score * 0.6) + (comment sub-dimension score * 0.4)
[0195] In this way, the performance of the target script in terms of readability and / or maintainability can be comprehensively evaluated, and corresponding improvement measures can be taken as needed to improve the quality and maintainability of the code.
[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, according to the dimension weight corresponding to the functional integrity dimension, the dimension review of the functional integrity dimension is performed on the target script from at least one of the requirement realization sub-dimension, the boundary condition sub-dimension, and the test coverage sub-dimension to obtain the dimension score corresponding to the functional integrity dimension, including:
[0197] (41) From the requirement realization sub-dimension, the requirements and use cases corresponding to the target script are verified to obtain the first functional completeness score.
[0198] For example, the evaluation method of the demand realization sub-dimension can be:

[0200] Does the script meet all requirements and use cases?
[0201] Scoring criteria:
[0202] 0-2 points: Most of the expected functions are not realized and basic needs are not met.
[0203] 3-5 points: Some expected functions are achieved, but some key functions are missing.
[0204] 6-8 points: Most of the expected functions are achieved, but a few minor functions are missing.
[0205] 9-10 points: All expected functionality is fully implemented, meeting all requirements and use cases.
[0206] (42) From the boundary condition sub-dimension, the execution of the target script under various target boundary conditions is verified to obtain the second functional completeness score.
[0207] Exemplarily, the evaluation method of the boundary condition sub-dimension may be:
[0208] Does the script handle all possible edge conditions and exceptions?
[0209] Is the script stable across a wide range of inputs and operations?
[0210] Scoring criteria:
[0211] 0-2 points: Boundary conditions and exceptions are not handled, and errors are prone to occur.
[0212] 3-5 points: Some boundary conditions and abnormal situations are handled, but not comprehensively.
[0213] 6-8 points: Most boundary conditions and exceptions are handled, but there is still room for improvement.
[0214] 9-10 points: Comprehensively handles all boundary conditions and abnormal situations, and performs stably.
[0215] (43) From the test coverage sub-dimension, the execution of the target script under the set test conditions is verified to obtain the third functional completeness score.
[0216] Exemplarily, the test coverage sub-dimension may be evaluated in the following manner:
[0217] Is the script adequately tested?
[0218] Is the test coverage up to standard and does it cover all critical paths and edge cases?
[0219] Scoring criteria:
[0220] 0-2 points: Almost no testing is done and the test coverage is very low.
[0221] 3-5 points: Some tests have been performed, but the test coverage is not high.
[0222] 6-8 points: The test was quite thorough, but there is still room for improvement.
[0223] 9-10 points: Comprehensive testing has been carried out with high test coverage, covering all critical paths and edge cases.
[0224] (44) Determine the dimension score corresponding to the functional integrity dimension based on the first functional integrity score, the second functional integrity score, the third functional integrity score, and the dimension weight corresponding to the functional integrity dimension.
[0225] The requirement realization sub-dimension evaluates whether the script fully realizes all the specified functional requirements. Check whether all the functions in the script have been realized one by one by comparing them with the requirements document. Verify whether the output of the script meets the expected results in the requirements document. Check whether there are any missing or unrealized functional points.
[0226] The boundary condition sub-dimension evaluates the performance of the script when handling boundary conditions to ensure that the function can work properly under extreme or special circumstances. Test the behavior of the script under boundary values (such as maximum value, minimum value, null value, etc.). Check whether the script can correctly handle abnormal input or unexpected situations. Verify the stability of the script when resources are limited (such as insufficient memory, insufficient disk space).
[0227] Test coverage sub-dimension, evaluate the test coverage of the script to ensure that all functions are fully tested. Use automated testing tools to measure the code coverage of the script. Check whether there are test cases for each function. Verify whether the test cases cover all possible input and output scenarios.
[0228] After completing the above review, assign a score to each sub-dimension based on its weight and the number or severity of issues found. Then, add up the weighted sum of these scores to get the overall score for the functional completeness dimension. For example, if the weight of requirement implementation is 0.5, the weight of boundary conditions is 0.3, and the weight of test coverage is 0.2, then the overall score can be calculated by the following formula:
[0229] Overall score = (demand realization sub-dimension score * 0.5) + (boundary condition sub-dimension score * 0.3) + (test coverage sub-dimension score * 0.2)
[0230] In this way, the performance of the target script in the dimension of functional completeness can be comprehensively evaluated, and corresponding improvement measures can be taken as needed to ensure that the script fully meets all functional requirements and works stably in various situations.
[0231] Furthermore, the target script can be evaluated from the dimension of reusability, for example:
