[0052] Example 1

[0053] As shown in Figure 1, an automated testing method for drones based on OTA technology includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S1: Define the test task, create the test script and associate it with the test task, and publish the test task;

[0055] Step S11: Define the test tasks, including:

[0056] Step S111: Define the test task name;

[0057] Step S112: Select the test task type;

[0058] The types of test tasks include OTA interface test tasks and OTA upgrade test tasks.

[0059] In this embodiment, the test task selected is the OTA interface test task, which is used to test whether the task interface between the AOT automated test cloud platform and the OTA platform is connected, and whether the detection, download, installation and progress interfaces between the OTA platform and the drone terminal or device terminal are connected.

[0060] Step S113: Select the number of times the test task will be executed, the test phase, the task start time, and the task end time.

[0061] In practical applications, mandatory termination conditions for test tasks can also be defined. For example, the test task can be stopped immediately when the number of executions reaches a preset execution limit, or the test task can be stopped immediately when the execution time reaches a preset task end time or exceeds the preset task end time for a certain period of time.

[0062] Step S12: Create a test script and associate it with the test task, including:

[0063] Step S121: Create a script name, select the script type for the test script, and complete the basic information of the script;

[0064] The available test script types include, but are not limited to, interface test scripts and business test scripts.

[0065] In this embodiment, an interface test script corresponding to the selected OTA interface test task is selected.

[0066] In addition to the script name and script type, the basic information of a script also includes the module to which the script belongs and comments.

[0067] Interface test scripts refer to end-to-end interface testing. The purpose is to test the software interface from the cloud to the drone or device. After the test task is created in the cloud, the script is published and run. The script performs automated testing according to the task start time specified by the test task. Only by completing end-to-end interface testing can end-to-end network communication and data interaction be fully established, that is, the data interaction of application messages and the data interaction of software entities can be realized.

[0068] Step S122: Write automated test cases;

[0069] Write corresponding automated test cases in the AOT automated testing platform based on the script name, script type, and other basic information.

[0070] Step S123: Automatically generate test scripts based on the completed automated test cases;

[0071] Step S124: Associate the generated test script with the test task.

[0072] Specifically, when executing OTA interface testing tasks, the interface testing script needs to be run automatically, and when executing OTA upgrade testing tasks, the business testing script needs to be run.

[0073] Step S2: Obtain the test task and associated test script;

[0074] The test task is distributed to the industrial control computer that can execute the test task through the AOT automated test platform. After the industrial control computer is powered on, it launches the test agent program, which detects the automated test task and obtains the test script associated with the test task.

[0075] Step S3: Execute the test task, automatically run the test script, and obtain the test results;

[0076] Step S31: Obtain the OTA interface test task and its associated interface test script;

[0077] In practical applications, after the industrial control computer is powered on, the test agent may detect multiple different test tasks. However, each test task has its own defined start time, and the test agent needs to execute the corresponding test tasks in sequence according to the order of their start times.

[0078] In this embodiment, the test task is an OTA interface test task, which is associated with an interface test script.

[0079] Step S32: Execute the OTA interface test task and automatically run the interface test script;

[0080] Execute OTA interface test tasks using the test agent;

[0081] Automatically run interface test scripts to test the connectivity of task interfaces between the AOT automated testing cloud platform and the OTA platform;

[0082] After the previous step is completed, automatically test the connectivity between the OTA platform and the drone or device, including but not limited to testing the detection interface, download interface, installation interface and progress interface;

[0083] Returns the execution results of each step of the OTA interface test task.

[0084] Step S33: Obtain the execution results of each step in the interface test script execution process;

[0085] Step S34: Complete the OTA interface test task, obtain the test results, and return the execution results of all steps.

[0086] Step S4: Return the test results and generate a test report based on the test results.

[0087] In step S3, after each interface test is completed, the test results need to be returned to the test agent immediately. After the entire test task is completed, the final task test results are generated. The test agent generates a test report based on the test results of each interface and the final task test results, and uploads the generated test report to the AOT automated testing cloud platform.

[0088] The automated test results report is displayed through the AOT automated testing cloud platform, and users can also download the automated test report to their local machine.

[0089] This embodiment provides an automated testing method for drones based on OTA technology. By executing created test tasks and test scripts, it realizes interface testing between the AOT automated testing cloud platform and the OTA platform, and between the OTA platform and the drone or device. This prepares the drone or device for OTA upgrades. By combining OTA technology with automated drone testing, it achieves full-process, end-to-end system automation, avoiding manual intervention during testing, saving manpower costs. At the same time, automated testing can avoid the risk of operational errors when humans handle a large number of repetitive mechanical operations, improving the accuracy of automated drone testing.

[0090] Example 2

[0091] As shown in Figure 1, an automated testing method for drones based on OTA technology includes the following steps:

[0092] Step S1: Define the test task, create the test script and associate it with the test task, and publish the test task;

[0093] Step S11: Define the test tasks, including:

[0094] Step S111: Define the test task name;

[0095] Step S112: Select the test task type;

[0096] The types of test tasks include OTA interface test tasks and OTA upgrade test tasks.

[0097] In this embodiment, the test task selected is the OTA upgrade test task. This task needs to be carried out on the premise that the interface test task has been completed in Embodiment 1 and all interfaces are used normally in the test report. It is used to test whether the drone or device can execute the complete OTA upgrade process normally.

[0098] Step S113: Select the number of times the test task will be executed, the test phase, the task start time, and the task end time.

[0099] In practical applications, mandatory termination conditions for test tasks can also be defined. For example, the test task can be stopped immediately when the number of executions reaches a preset execution limit, or the test task can be stopped immediately when the execution time reaches a preset task end time or exceeds the preset task end time for a certain period of time.

[0100] Step S12: Create a test script and associate it with the test task, including:

[0101] Step S121: Create a script name, select the script type for the test script, and complete the basic information of the script;

[0102] The available test script types include, but are not limited to, interface test scripts and business test scripts.

[0103] In this embodiment, a business test script corresponding to the selected OTA upgrade test task is selected.

[0104] In addition to the script name and script type, the basic information of a script also includes the module to which the script belongs and comments.

[0105] The business test script refers to the script that the industrial control computer executes for OTA testing. After the AOT automated testing platform creates the test task, it sends the script to the industrial control computer. The test agent in the industrial control computer runs the script to complete the OTA testing process of the drone. The final test report is automatically generated and uploaded to the cloud for storage.

[0106] Step S122: Write automated test cases;

[0107] Write corresponding automated test cases in the AOT automated testing platform based on the script name, script type, and other basic information.

[0108] Step S123: Automatically generate test scripts based on the completed automated test cases;

[0109] Step S124: Associate the generated test script with the test task.

[0110] Specifically, when executing OTA interface testing tasks, the interface testing script needs to be run automatically, and when executing OTA upgrade testing tasks, the business testing script needs to be run.

[0111] Step S2: Obtain the test task and associated test script;

[0112] The test task is distributed to the industrial control computer that can execute the test task through the AOT automated test platform. After the industrial control computer is powered on, it launches the test agent program, which detects the automated test task and obtains the test script associated with the test task.

[0113] Step S3: Execute the test task, automatically run the test script, and obtain the test results;

[0114] Step S31: Obtain the OTA upgrade test task and its associated business test script;

[0115] In practical applications, after the industrial control computer is powered on, the test agent may detect multiple different test tasks. However, each test task has its own defined start time, and the test agent needs to execute the corresponding test tasks in sequence according to the order of their start times.

[0116] In this embodiment, the test task is an OTA upgrade test task, and the associated test script is a business test script.

[0117] Step S32: Execute the OTA upgrade test task and automatically run the business test script;

[0118] The test agent executes OTA upgrade test tasks, automatically runs business test scripts, and performs the complete OTA upgrade process.

[0119] Step S33: Simulate the APP via ADB to trigger the OTA upgrade command and execute the OTA upgrade command;

[0120] In practical applications, executing OTA upgrade testing tasks requires the test agent to execute ADB commands to simulate the operation process of a mobile app, as follows:

[0121] The test agent simulates triggering the detection of a new version, the APP returns a detection command, and the drone software version is detected.

[0122] The test agent simulates triggering a click download command, the APP returns a download command, and the software package is downloaded to the drone.

[0123] The test agent simulates triggering an installation command, and the APP returns an installation command to install the software package on the drone.

[0124] Steps S32 and S33 constitute the complete OTA upgrade process, as follows:

[0125] The test agent executes a business script to initiate a command to detect the latest version of the drone or device and determines whether it meets the version requirements of the current OTA upgrade process. The OTA master receives the command and iterates through the software versions of the entire terminal device.

[0126] The test agent simulates triggering a click-to-download command, returning to the vehicle's OTA upgrade main program, OTA master; OTA master obtains the upgrade package from the OTA platform and downloads it to the controller storage of the drone or device.

[0127] The test agent simulates triggering the installation command and returns the vehicle's OTA upgrade main program, OTA master. OTA master then executes the installation process on the drone or device.

[0128] Step S34: Obtain the execution result of each OTA upgrade command;

[0129] After each step is completed, the OTA master returns the result of that step to the test agent.

[0130] Step S35: Complete the OTA upgrade test task, obtain the test results, and return the execution results of all steps.

[0131] Step S4: Return the test results and generate a test report based on the test results.

[0132] In step S3, after each step of the complete OTA upgrade is executed, the test results need to be returned to the test agent immediately. After the entire test task is completed, the final test results are generated. The test agent determines whether the complete OTA upgrade process has been successfully executed based on the execution results of each step, and generates a test report based on the final results, which is then uploaded to the AOT automated testing cloud platform.

[0133] In practical applications, the OTA master will also return the execution results to the OTA cloud after each step of the OTA upgrade task is completed.

[0134] The automated test results report is displayed through the AOT automated testing cloud platform, and users can also download the automated test report to their local machine.

[0135] In practical applications, OTA test reports can also be uploaded to the OTA platform and made available for download.

[0136] This embodiment provides an automated testing method for drones based on OTA technology. By executing created test tasks and test scripts, it tests whether the drone can normally perform the complete OTA upgrade process. By combining OTA technology with automated drone testing, it achieves full-process, end-to-end system automation, avoiding manual intervention during the testing process, saving manpower costs. At the same time, automated testing can avoid the risk of operational errors when humans handle a large number of mechanical repetitive operations, thus improving the accuracy of automated drone testing.

[0137] Example 3

[0138] As shown in Figure 2, an automated testing system for drones based on OTA technology includes:

[0139] The drone or device is pre-installed with an OTA master, which serves as an upgrade component for the main OTA service.

[0140] The AOT automated testing cloud platform is used to define test tasks, create test scripts and associate them with test tasks, and publish test tasks.

[0141] The industrial control computer is used to acquire test tasks and associated test scripts, execute test tasks, automatically run test scripts, obtain test results, generate test reports based on test results, and return test results. Specifically, the industrial control computer uses its pre-installed test agent as the main business control component for executing OTA automation scripts on the vehicle side to perform the above steps.

[0142] The OTA-based automated testing system for drones also includes an OTA platform. The OTA platform is used to provide OTA technology, that is, to issue OTA upgrade packages to the drone or device, and to assist the drone in performing OTA upgrade tasks.

[0143] When an OTA-based automated testing system for drones executes OTA interface testing tasks, it uses the AOT automated testing cloud platform to define test tasks and create test scripts. These tasks are then distributed to an industrial control computer (ICC). A pre-installed test agent on the ICC executes the OTA interface testing tasks and runs the interface test scripts, testing the task interface between the AOT automated testing cloud platform and the OTA platform. Upon completion, it tests the interfaces between the OTA platform and the drone or device, including detection, download, installation, and progress tracking. Finally, the test agent generates a test report based on the results returned at each step of the task execution and uploads it to the AOT automated testing cloud platform.

[0144] When executing OTA upgrade testing tasks, the UAV automated testing system based on OTA technology uses the AOT automated testing cloud platform to define test tasks, create test scripts, and distribute the test tasks to the industrial control computer. The pre-installed test agent in the industrial control computer executes the OTA interface test tasks and runs the interface test scripts. It uses ADB technology to simulate the various instructions triggered by a mobile APP in the complete OTA upgrade task process. The test agent transmits the instructions to the OTA master on the UAV or device side for execution. Specifically, the OTA master receives detection instructions, traverses the entire software version of the UAV or device side, receives download instructions, interacts with the OTA platform to obtain the OAT upgrade package, receives installation instructions, and installs the OTA upgrade package on the UAV or device side. The OTA master returns the instructions for each step to the test agent and the OTA platform. Finally, the test agent generates a test report based on the return results of each step in the task execution process and uploads it to the AOT automated testing cloud platform.
