[0051] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0052] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0053] The main solution of this application embodiment is: to determine the air conditioning test system to be tested; to obtain the test content based on the air conditioning test system and generate test cases according to the test content; to execute the test cases and obtain the test results of the air conditioning test system.

[0054] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the host computer will be used as the execution subject in the following description.

[0055] With the increasing number of outdoor units, indoor units, wired controllers, and test versions, air conditioning test systems are becoming more and more complex and require more combinations. Manual assembly is inefficient, prolongs the test cycle, affects the overall test progress, and leads to low test efficiency.

[0056] This application provides a solution that, by identifying the air conditioning test system to be tested and generating test cases based on the test content, ensures the standardization and systematization of the testing process, improves testing efficiency, and enhances the reliability of test results. The test results are used to evaluate the quality of the air conditioning test system and provide a basis for its optimization and maintenance, thereby improving the overall performance and user comfort of the air conditioning test system.

[0057] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or host computer capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a host computer as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments. The host computer is a computer or microcontroller responsible for managing and controlling the slave computer. Data exchange and command transmission occur between the host computer and the slave computer through a communication interface.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a testing method for an air conditioning testing system, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the testing method for the air conditioning testing system of this application.

[0059] In this embodiment, the testing method of the air conditioning testing system includes steps S10 to S30:

[0060] Step S10: Determine the air conditioning test system to be tested. The air conditioning test system includes an outdoor unit, an indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit, and a wired controller connected to the indoor unit.

[0061] It should be noted that the air conditioning testing system includes outdoor unit 100, indoor unit 200, wired controller 300, fresh air unit, and hydraulic module, etc. (Refer to...) Figure 2 In the air conditioning testing system, one outdoor unit 100 is connected to at least one indoor unit 200. Each indoor unit 200 is communicatively connected to a wired controller 300, which controls the corresponding indoor unit 200. A network relay 400 is also installed between the indoor unit 200 and the wired controller 300. The network relay 400 controls the circuit's on / off state by receiving network signals. When the circuit is on, the wired controller 300 can control the indoor unit 100. A first programmable power distribution unit 500 is used to power on the outdoor unit 100. A second programmable power distribution unit 600 is used to power on the indoor unit 200.

[0062] As an optional embodiment, the air conditioning test system to be tested includes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and one or at least two indoor units connected to the outdoor unit, each indoor unit being connected to a corresponding wired controller.

[0063] As another optional embodiment, the air conditioning test system to be tested includes at least two air conditioners, including a direct-control air conditioner and a split-control air conditioner. Each air conditioner includes an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units connected to the outdoor unit, and each indoor unit is connected to a corresponding wired controller.

[0064] Optionally, the model or version of the indoor unit, the model or version of the outdoor unit, and the model or version of the wired controller can all be selected, and different outdoor units, indoor units, and wired controllers can be freely combined to form the air conditioning test system in this application.

[0065] Step S20: Obtain the test content based on the air conditioning test system, and generate test cases according to the test content.

[0066] It should be noted that the test content based on the air conditioning test system can be programmed by the user through a host computer, or determined according to the user's needs.

[0067] Optionally, the test content includes preconditions, test steps, and test expectations. Preconditions describe the states or conditions that must be met before executing a test case. These conditions ensure the consistency and repeatability of the test environment and are prerequisites for correct test execution. For example, before conducting software functional testing, it may be necessary to ensure that specific data records exist in the database or that users have logged into the system. Test steps detail the operational steps required to execute each test case, including specific operational instructions and input data. The clarity and ease of understanding of test steps are crucial for ensuring correct test execution. Test expectations describe the state or output that the system should present after the preconditions are met and the test steps are executed. Test expectations are the criteria for judging the success or failure of the test. The clarity of the expected results helps to quickly identify any deviations during test execution and is key to improving test efficiency and accuracy. Preconditions, test steps, and test expectations constitute a complete test case, ensuring the systematic nature and effectiveness of the test. By defining clear preconditions, detailed test steps, and clear expected results, the quality of testing can be improved, ensuring that the software or system works as expected.

[0068] Optionally, the testing content may also include performance testing, noise testing, safety testing, and reliability testing of the air conditioning system. Performance testing includes rated cooling capacity, rated heating capacity, rated cooling power consumption, rated heating power consumption, current, and energy efficiency ratio. Noise testing includes noise levels at high, medium, and low settings in cooling and heating modes, as well as noise in fan-only mode. Safety testing covers electrical safety, fire safety, and mechanical safety, such as grounding resistance, insulation resistance, leakage current, fire-resistant materials, safety switches, and lightning rods. Reliability testing includes lifespan testing, environmental adaptability testing, and durability testing, such as service life, failure rate, and maintenance rate.

[0069] It should be noted that test cases are detailed documents documenting the testing process of an air conditioning testing system. Test cases define the specific scenarios, conditions, steps, and expected results of the test execution. The purpose of test cases is to verify whether specific functions or characteristics of the air conditioning testing system function correctly as required. In other words, air conditioner test cases are a series of test procedures and conditions designed to verify whether an air conditioner meets specific performance standards and functional requirements during performance testing.

[0070] Optionally, the test cases for the air conditioner include cooling tests, heating tests, dehumidification tests, air supply tests, and automatic mode tests. The cooling test includes checking whether the air conditioner can reach the set temperature and humidity conditions in cooling mode. The heating test includes checking whether the air conditioner can reach the set temperature and humidity conditions in heating mode. The dehumidification test includes checking whether the air conditioner can effectively reduce indoor humidity in dehumidification mode. The air supply test includes checking whether the air conditioner can operate normally and maintain a constant fan speed in air supply mode. The automatic mode test includes checking whether the air conditioner can automatically adjust cooling or heating according to the indoor environment in automatic mode.

[0071] Optionally, at least two test cases are generated based on the test content of the air conditioner. The final test cases are then determined from these at least two test cases based on user requirements or user-selected actions.

[0072] Step S30: Execute the test cases to obtain the test results of the air conditioning test system.

[0073] It should be noted that during the testing process of the air conditioning testing system, the execution of test cases is to verify whether the various performance and functions of the air conditioner meet the design requirements and industry standards in accordance with the established test plan and standards.

[0074] After executing the test cases, the test results of the corresponding air conditioning test system are obtained, enabling a comprehensive performance evaluation of the air conditioning test system. This evaluation includes multiple functions such as cooling, heating, and dehumidification, ensuring that the performance of the air conditioning test system meets design requirements. The fully automated testing process greatly improves testing efficiency, replaces manual testing, and reduces labor costs.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, the host computer is communicatively connected to a first programmable power distribution unit and a second programmable power distribution unit. The first programmable power distribution unit is used to supply power to the outdoor unit, and the second programmable power distribution unit is used to supply power to the indoor unit. Before step S30, the method further includes: controlling the first programmable power distribution unit to power on the outdoor unit of the air conditioning test system; and controlling the second programmable power distribution unit to power on the indoor unit of the air conditioning test system.

[0076] Before testing, initialize all programmable power supplies and network relays, ensuring that all programmable power supplies are powered off and all network hubs are disconnected. That is, initialize the first and second programmable power distribution units, including ensuring both are powered off.

[0077] After the outdoor units, indoor units, and wired controllers of the air conditioning testing system are determined, the first programmable power distribution unit powers on the selected outdoor units, while keeping the remaining outdoor units powered off. Similarly, the second programmable power distribution unit powers on the selected indoor units, while keeping the remaining indoor units powered off. Precise power control of the outdoor and indoor units through the programmable power distribution units ensures a stable power supply during testing, which is crucial for accurate test results. Automated power control by the programmable power distribution units reduces manual operation, improves testing efficiency, and minimizes the risk of human error.

[0078] In this embodiment, the air conditioning test system to be tested is determined; test content based on the air conditioning test system is obtained, and test cases are generated according to the test content; the test cases are executed to obtain the test results of the air conditioning test system. By determining the air conditioning test system to be tested and generating test cases according to the test content, the standardization and systematization of the testing process can be ensured, improving testing efficiency and the reliability of test results. The test results are used to evaluate the quality of the air conditioning test system and provide a basis for the optimization and maintenance of the air conditioning test system, thereby improving the overall performance and user comfort of the air conditioning test system.

[0079] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 3 Step S20 includes:

[0080] Step S21: Send the test content to the test case platform, which is used to generate test cases based on the test content;

[0081] Step S22: Obtain the test cases generated by the test case platform.

[0082] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4The executing entity of this application is a host computer 700. The host computer 700 is connected to the first programmable PDU (Power Distribution Unit) 500 of the outdoor unit 100 and the programmable PDU 600 of the indoor unit 200. The host computer 700 controls the selected outdoor unit 100 and indoor unit 200 to power on by controlling the first programmable PDU 500 and the second programmable PDU 600. The host computer 700 is also connected to a network relay 400, which is installed on the line between the wired controller 300 and the indoor unit 200. The host computer 700 controls the indoor unit 200 through the network relay 400. The host computer 700 is also communicatively connected to a test case platform 800, which is a software tool or system for creating, managing, and executing test cases, assisting in testing the air conditioning test system and ensuring its quality and reliability.

[0083] Optionally, the host computer 700 controls the movement of the robotic arm 1000, thereby controlling the state of the wired controller 300. (See reference...) Figure 4 The robotic arm 1000 corresponds to multiple workstations. For example, workstation 1 is for electronic devices, such as mobile phones; workstations 2 to 16 are all equipped with wired controllers; and workstation 17 is equipped with a display and control board. The position and status of the devices in each workstation are acquired through camera 900, and the robotic arm 1000 controls the devices in each workstation, realizing the combination of the robotic arm and AI (Artificial Intelligence) vision. Human testing is highly subjective, while fully automated testing offers high accuracy. Robotic arm combined with AI automated testing can record test objects with high-frame-rate, high-definition cameras, reducing the likelihood of omissions and errors. Robotic arm combined with AI automated testing can cover a wider range of testing scenarios, including simultaneous observation of multiple different devices; and quantification of data such as smoothness, response time, temperature monitoring, and touch pressure quantification, which are difficult to measure precisely in manual testing.

[0084] As an optional implementation, the test content is sent to the test case platform, which generates test cases based on the test content; the test cases generated by the test case platform are then obtained.

[0085] Optionally, the test case platform generates test cases based on the test content of the air conditioning test system and returns the test cases to the host computer. The host computer then controls the air conditioning test system to execute the test cases and obtain the test results of the air conditioning test system.

[0086] Optionally, the test case platform writes test cases based on the test content. Each test case includes preconditions, test steps, and test results. All test cases are written according to the version testing requirements. The test case platform then retrieves the necessary parts from the written test cases to generate the final test cases. The test case platform triggers the execution of the test cases, sending an interface to the air conditioning testing system based on a robotic arm and AI vision. The air conditioning testing system automatically executes the test cases. After execution, the test results are uploaded to the test case platform. The test case platform returns data annotations to the test results through an interface and saves the test results from the air conditioning testing system. A test report can also be automatically generated based on the test results.

[0087] In this embodiment, by sending the test content to the test case platform and automatically generating test cases, manpower, time, and hardware resources can be greatly saved, and the testing efficiency of the air conditioning test system can be improved. At the same time, the test case platform allows non-programmers to easily create, edit, and execute test cases, lowering the barrier to automation testing of the air conditioning test system.

[0088] Based on the first or second embodiment of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 5 Step S30 includes:

[0089] Step S31: Execute the test steps in the test case, wherein the test steps include at least one of power on / off button click, working mode switching, fan speed adjustment, and temperature adjustment;

[0090] Step S32: Obtain the execution result of each of the test steps;

[0091] Step S33: Compare the execution result with the corresponding test expectation, and generate the test result based on the comparison result.

[0092] It should be noted that test cases include test steps and test expectations. Each test step corresponds to a test expectation.

[0093] The testing steps for the air conditioning testing system include, but are not limited to, the functions of the wired controller such as power on / off button operation, operating mode switching, fan speed adjustment, and temperature adjustment. Optionally, refer to... Figure 6The document lists some functions of the wired controller. Each test step corresponds to a test expectation. For example, the power-on / off step corresponds to a power-on / off expectation, the operating mode selection step corresponds to a mode selection expectation, the fan speed adjustment step corresponds to a fan speed adjustment expectation, and the temperature adjustment step corresponds to a temperature adjustment expectation. Optionally, if each test step meets the test expectation, the expectation is considered successful; if any test step fails to meet the test expectation, the expectation is considered unsuccessful.

[0094] By covering key operational steps of the air conditioning system, such as power on / off and mode switching, the test ensures coverage of common user scenarios, improving its comprehensiveness. Obtaining the execution results of each test step provides accurate data support for subsequent data analysis, aiding in a deeper understanding of the air conditioning system's performance. Comparing the execution results with the expected test results allows for quick identification of problems and pinpointing specific test steps, facilitating troubleshooting and remediation. Generating test results through comparison ensures accuracy, providing a reliable basis for optimizing and improving the air conditioning system.

[0095] Automated test cases should include at least preconditions, N (N≥1) test steps, and N (N≥1) test expectations. Unlike manual testing, machine testing in this application requires determining the location of interface elements, thus necessitating preconditions to determine the interface position. Also unlike other automated testing frameworks, this automated design logic does not require an environment recovery process.

[0096] As an optional implementation, at least one precondition in the test case is executed; if each precondition is executed successfully, the test steps in the test case are executed. If any precondition fails to execute, the execution result is returned.

[0097] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 The preconditions include initializing the test environment, such as determining the screen-off handling method and clearing normal or abnormal pop-ups. Preconditions also include whether switching the homepage is successful to ensure the interface can return to the homepage position. If successful, the remaining preconditions are checked. If the device being tested is a directly controlled device, the corresponding test steps and test expectations are executed directly. If the device being tested is a distributed control device, the distributed control device interface must be accessed first, and then the corresponding test steps and test expectations are executed. Optionally, the test steps and test expectations for directly controlled devices and distributed control devices can be different.

[0098] As an optional embodiment, when the air conditioning test system includes direct control equipment and sub-control equipment, the direct control equipment and sub-control equipment need to be tested separately. For example, the direct control equipment is air conditioner 1 and the sub-control equipment is air conditioner 2. Both the direct control equipment and the sub-control equipment belong to the air conditioning test system.

[0099] Optionally, step S30 includes: executing the test steps of the direct control device, obtaining the execution result of each test step of the direct control device, comparing the execution result of the direct control device with the corresponding test expectation, and generating the test result of the direct control device based on the comparison result of the direct control device.

[0100] Optionally, step S30 includes: executing the test steps of the sub-control device, obtaining the execution result of each test step of the sub-control device, comparing the execution result of the sub-control device with the corresponding test expectation, and generating the test result of the sub-control device based on the comparison result of the sub-control device.

[0101] Based on the test results of the directly controlled equipment and the distributed control equipment, test results for the air conditioning test system are generated. For example, the test results for the air conditioning test system include the test results of both the directly controlled equipment and the distributed control equipment. By comparing the actual performance results of the directly controlled and distributed control equipment with the expected results, it is possible to accurately determine whether each device is working as expected, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results and helping to ensure the reliability and stability of these devices in practical applications. When the test results do not match expectations, the problem can be quickly located, improving the efficiency of problem diagnosis and resolution.

[0102] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the testing process can be automated by executing test steps including clicking the power button, switching modes, adjusting fan speed, and adjusting temperature, reducing manual operation and improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, the automated testing steps ensure that each test is conducted under the same conditions, thereby improving the consistency and repeatability of test results.

[0103] Based on any of the first to third embodiments of this application, in the fourth embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 7 Step S10 includes:

[0104] Step S11: Obtain the network information of the air conditioning test system, which includes outdoor unit equipment information, indoor unit equipment information, and wired controller information;

[0105] Step S12: Based on the network information, determine the air conditioning test system to be tested.

[0106] Optionally, the outdoor unit information includes model and version, and each outdoor unit has a unique identifier. The indoor unit information includes model and version, and each indoor unit has a unique identifier. The wired controller information includes model and version, and each wired controller has a unique identifier.

[0107] In this embodiment, the networking of the air conditioning test system is applicable to both polarized and non-polarized 485 communication wiring methods.

[0108] As an optional embodiment, a selection interface is displayed, including an outdoor unit selection area, an indoor unit selection area, and a wired controller selection area. Based on a first trigger operation in the outdoor unit selection area, the outdoor unit information of the air conditioning test system is determined; based on a second trigger operation in the indoor unit selection area, the indoor unit information of the air conditioning test system is determined; and based on a third trigger operation in the wired controller selection area, the wired controller information of the air conditioning test system is determined. This solution visualizes the selection interface of the air conditioning test system and improves the flexibility of the air conditioning test system configuration. Optionally, the trigger operation can be a click operation, a long press operation, etc.

[0109] Reference Figure 8 Initialize all programmable power supplies and network relays, ensuring all programmable power supplies are powered off and all network hubs are disconnected. The initialization process does not include error handling because the air conditioning test system uses a multi-connection configuration with one outdoor unit supporting multiple indoor units; this configuration ensures the equipment will not be damaged by malfunctions. If initialization fails, please check the equipment and environment configurations and restart the program.

[0110] Select the corresponding outdoor unit and control the programmable power distribution unit to power on the corresponding outdoor unit. The outdoor unit selection area will show radio buttons for each device. Before switching, also disconnect all programmable power ports of the outdoor unit. If the setting fails, an error message will appear, and you will need to reset it.

[0111] Select the indoor unit devices to be connected. In the indoor unit device selection area, the indoor unit devices are checked. Control the power distribution sheet to power on N indoor unit devices. Before switching, all power distribution ports of the indoor unit devices need to be disconnected. If the setting fails, an error message will be displayed, and you need to set it up again.

[0112] Select the wired controller model, and then select the indoor unit that the wired controller needs to be directly connected to when powering on. A single wired controller can only connect to one indoor unit. There is a mutual exclusion pop-up prompt function for the indoor unit selection area and the wired controller selection area. To set up duplicate connections, you need to reconfirm the wired controller's direct connection method to ensure that one indoor unit is directly connected to only one wired controller. You can configure it again after reselecting.

[0113] After selecting the outdoor unit, indoor unit, and wired controller in sequence, the air conditioning test system is assembled. Finally, an interface is reserved for remote, fully automated remote operation. The system can automatically and quickly switch between different testing requirements, significantly improving testing efficiency compared to manual switching.
