AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies for traversing and testing BIOS configuration options are inefficient, costly, error-prone, and fail to meet the needs of large-scale batch testing. Automated solutions lack compatibility and effectiveness verification mechanisms, resulting in insufficient reliability and traceability of test results.

Method used

By setting up automated test scripts on the server side, importing BIOS configuration option description files, generating executable files in the UEFI Shell environment, remotely modifying BIOS configuration options using SSH and BMC IPMI, and ensuring the configuration takes effect through reboot and remote verification, a complete test loop is formed.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of BIOS configuration option traversal testing, reduces labor costs, supports parallel testing of multiple devices, ensures the accuracy of configuration modifications and the reliability of results, and realizes fully unattended automated testing.

Abstract

The application discloses a kind of test method and test system of automatic BIOS configuration option traversal, comprising: setting up automatic test script in service machine end, and the remote management parameter of measured machine is configured by automatic test script;Import the configuration option description file of the corresponding version of measured machine BIOS, parse configuration option description file, and according to test demand, the target BIOS configuration option and the target configuration value corresponding to each target BIOS configuration option are screened;Corresponding execution file under UEFI Shell environment is generated based on each target BIOS configuration option and target configuration value, and execution file includes automatic start script and variable setting tool;Control measured machine restarts and enters UEFI Shell environment, and automatically execute automatic start script by UEFI Shell environment, and automatic start script calls variable setting tool, and target BIOS configuration option is modified to corresponding target configuration value by the way of modifying UEFI variable one by one;Control measured machine restarts and enters operating system, and verify whether target BIOS configuration option is effective.
