[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Furthermore, as used in the various embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "having," and their cognates are intended only to indicate a specific feature, number, step, operation, element, component, or combination of the foregoing, and should not be construed as primarily excluding the presence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations of the foregoing, or adding one or more combinations of the foregoing.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] The research and development and production of radio frequency modules require testing of multiple radio frequency indicators, and the large number of product channels leads to a huge workload for testing, resulting in problems such as excessive testing costs and uncontrollable testing quality.

[0042] Currently, manual intervention is unavoidable in RF module testing. Firstly, the sheer number of products being tested and the complexity of the testing process inevitably lead to significant time consumption, straining project deadlines. Secondly, the heavy workload and substantial human and material resources required for manual testing are considerable; its slowness and inherent error-prone nature result in inaccurate results. Finally, the current testing practices, characterized by frequent batches and small quantities, necessitate modifications to test cases for different products, over-reliance on technical personnel and code, and resulting in test cases lacking readability and maintainability.

[0043] To address the shortcomings of current automated testing methods, this invention provides an automated testing method based on a visual flowchart, applicable to multi-indicator testing scenarios for RF module products. This method can improve the readability and maintainability of test cases, reduce reliance on technical personnel, and lower the maintenance costs of the testing system.

[0044] The following description, in conjunction with specific accompanying drawings and implementation schemes, illustrates an automated testing method based on a visual flowchart provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0045] S101 generates corresponding test cases based on the test tasks required for the product under test.

[0046] In this embodiment, the test case database for the current specifications of the product under test (e.g., RF module) is first integrated, including test cases for various test indicators. By analyzing the test task, the test case database is automatically matched with the corresponding test case.

[0047] The test cases include test instrument control cases, product communication control cases, and logic processing and data analysis and calculation cases. By calling the corresponding test cases, the standardized test case configuration can be completed. For example, it integrates control method interfaces for matrix switches and test instruments (such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, vector network analyzers, peak power meters, etc.), and also integrates communication interfaces such as Ethernet communication and serial communication. It mainly functions at the processing nodes in the flowchart, allowing configuration of test instrument operations (such as setting the transmission frequency and power of a signal generator), matrix switch control operations (such as switching test channels), and software communication operations (such as sending commands via Ethernet or serial port).

[0048] S102, based on the test cases, analyze the test task process nodes, and select target node components from the pre-created basic node component library according to the test task process nodes; wherein, the target node includes a process start node, one or more process processing nodes and / or process decision nodes and a process end node.

[0049] Specifically, the basic node component library is a flowchart editor with process start nodes, process processing nodes, process decision nodes, and process end nodes. Among them, process start nodes and process end nodes are used to control the start and end of the test process, process processing nodes are used to associate the test operations required by the test cases, and process decision nodes are used to control the direction of the test process execution.

[0050] The target node may include a process start node, a process processing node and a process end node, or it may include a process start node, multiple process processing nodes and a process end node, or it may include a process start node, a process decision node and a process end node, or it may include a process start node, multiple process decision nodes and a process end node, or it may include a process start node, one or more process processing nodes, one or more process decision nodes and a process end node.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, for the flowchart editor, users can view the flowchart... Figure 1 This allows users to intuitively understand the testing process for the test metrics on the interface.

[0052] The flowchart editor has processing nodes such as "start node, processing node, decision node, and end node". The start node and end node are the beginning and end of the process execution. The processing node is mainly associated with the test operations in the test case, as well as the processing and storage of test data. The decision node is mainly used to control the direction of the process execution, that is, logical processing, such as using it to perform loop operations.

[0053] During the execution of the flowchart editor, execution data will be generated. For example, in the process processing node, the instrument operation obtains the test result data of the instrument, which needs to be used in other nodes. At this time, it is necessary to store it in a public variable for other nodes to use. Similarly, if it is necessary to use the process decision node to perform loop operations, it can also be implemented using a public variable (e.g., if the public variable X is 1, the decision node considers X<10, re-executes the previous operation, and increments X by 1).

[0054] S103: Configure the standard test cases required for the test cases according to the target node components and the preset configuration information to obtain a list of test cases that match the test tasks.

[0055] In this embodiment, the process of configuring the test case list is as follows: First, at least one standard test case is extracted from the standard test case library based on the target node component; second, the parameters of each standard test case are configured according to the configuration information to obtain at least one test case that matches the test task parameter information; wherein, the configuration information refers to the parameter information of the test task; finally, the at least one test case is combined to obtain the test case list.

[0056] Specifically, a test case library created by the specification can be pre-packaged. Then, based on the parameter information of the test task, the parameters of the test cases in the specification can be configured to obtain at least one test case that matches the parameter information of the test task, which can be called by the user. This avoids the user creating test cases from scratch. The user can make minor modifications based on the characteristics of the product being tested, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of test cases.

[0057] Since different RF module products use different names for test metrics, users can also name each test case in the test case list to associate it with the test result name.

[0058] S104 integrates the test case list matching the test tasks to obtain the test task list, executes the test tasks according to the test task list, and completes the automated testing of the test tasks of the product under test.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, integrating the test case list of matching test tasks and uniformly scheduling and configuring it to complete the automated testing of test tasks means that after configuring and debugging the test cases for the test tasks, a complete test task for the product under test will be formed. The task will contain multiple test cases (such as output power, gain, S-parameters, etc.). These test cases are integrated to form a test task list. Users can issue and execute the tasks according to the production task progress. Finally, unified scheduling and configuration are performed to complete the automated testing of the product under test.

[0060] In some embodiments, the current standard testing method is formulated according to industry standards, and the process nodes also conform to the standard method. However, in actual testing, the standard testing process may be adjusted according to the actual situation. Therefore, after step S103 described above, the method of this embodiment further includes: first, debugging the test cases in the test case list that require adjustment of process nodes to obtain a target test case list; then, integrating the target test case list to obtain a target test task list, and executing the test tasks according to the target test task list to complete the automated testing of the product under test.

[0061] Therefore, users can adjust the test process nodes based on the actual test results to obtain test cases that match the actual test outcomes. For example, they can perform checks on the validity of test cases, such as whether the process connections are complete, whether process decision nodes are executed effectively, and whether start and end nodes are present. They can also perform checks on the process... Figure 1 The key execution allows for quick verification of whether the flowchart is executed correctly. It can also be executed step by step, executing node by node, which is beneficial for users to debug test cases and check whether the results of each step meet expectations.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides an automated testing system based on a visual flowchart, the system comprising:

[0063] The test case generation unit 410 is used to generate corresponding test cases based on the test tasks required to be performed by the product under test.

[0064] The target node component selection unit 420 is used to analyze the test task flow nodes based on the test cases, and select target node components from the pre-created basic node component library based on the test task flow nodes; wherein, the target node includes a flow start node, one or more flow processing nodes and / or flow decision nodes and a flow end node.

[0065] Test case configuration unit 430 is used to configure the standard test cases required for the test cases according to the target node components and preset configuration information, and obtain a list of test cases that match the test tasks;

[0066] The test execution unit 440 is used to integrate the test case list that matches the test tasks to obtain the test task list, and execute the test tasks according to the test task list to complete the automated testing of the test tasks of the product under test.
