Software test apparatus and test software design method

Abstract

The invention discloses a software testing device, comprising: a hardware abstraction module, which provides an API for the communication operation between a device to be tested and a PC and provides APIs to a control module and a test log module; a control module, which provides an API for controlling the input and output information of the device to be tested and provides APIs to a test operation module and the test log module; the test operation module, which provides an API for carrying out the test of the functions of the device to be tested and provides an API to the test log module; the test log module, which provides an API for generating the test log and creates, generates the unified test log. The invention further discloses a design method of a testing software. The usage of the invention can shorten the development cycle of the testing software, improve the efficiency of the software design; furthermore, the obtained testing software has better transportability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to software testing, in particular to a software testing device and a design method of testing software. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of communication technology, computer technology and electronic technology, the functional integration of various embedded electronic devices such as mobile terminals is also getting higher and higher. Control is all done by software running in the device. It can be seen that before the software is officially installed on the above-mentioned equipment, it is very important and necessary to carry out corresponding functional tests on the software to ensure its stable and normal operation. [0003] Usually, we can use the application program on the side of personal computer (Personal Computer, PC) to realize the functional test of the software in the embedded electronic device, so as to reduce the workload of testers to a certain extent and improve the testing efficie...

Problems solved by technology

However, with the continuous increase of functional modules in embedded electronic devices, the corresponding increase in the complexity of various functions, and the differences in the design of various electronic devices, it is still difficult to test a certain function in electronic devices.

[0004] For the above problems, corresponding solutions have also been proposed in the prior art, for example: some commercial software has been able to provide automatic testing functions for software, for example, the software TestQuest for testing the software of wireless digital devices, most of these testing software adopt scripting language, without the need to generate executable programs, so that it can adapt to changes in various types of wireless digital devices, but this method cannot be separated from the script interpretation environment corresponding to the scripting language used, so this method is not enough to use Flexible and efficient, not suitable for popular applications of software automatic testing

[0005] In addition, in order to solve the above problems, a method of using the compilation environment to generate test software in the form of executable files is also proposed. The test software generated by this method does not require a special operating environment and is easy to use widely, but its development process is relatively cumbersome. In particular, it is necessary to write a large number of underlying codes matching the tested equipment. The research and development personnel have a large research and development workload and a long research and development cycle. Therefore, there are currently no testing tools using this method on the market.
