Method, device and network equipment for automatic testing

Abstract

The invention provides a method, a device and network equipment for automatic testing. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining smallest logical topology corresponding to testing environment topology and testing script, and link number change identification information between logic equipment in the smallest logical topology, wherein the link number change identification information includes the change information of the link number between the logic equipment in the smallest logical topology along with the testing environment topology, and the change values of the link number; mapping in the testing environment topology according to the smallest logical topology and the link number change identification information and generating global virtual topology; and calling the testing script for testing according to the global virtual topology. When the technical scheme provided by the invention is used for automatic testing, the flexibility and the portability of the testing script can be improved, and the coverage rate of a test port and the execution efficiency for coverage testing can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to automated testing technology, in particular to an automated testing method, device and network equipment. Background technique [0002] As communication devices such as routers and switches become more and more high-end, communication devices contain more and more chips; the chip is mainly responsible for data forwarding, and each chip is associated with several ports. In order to ensure the quality of communication equipment, performance tests are usually performed on the communication equipment before leaving the factory. With the gradual maturity of automated testing technology in the communication field, the testing of communication equipment is carried out using automated methods. In automated testing, testers customize test scripts in advance according to test cases, and then use automated testing systems to automatically deliver test scripts to devices under test, and capture the output results of the device under test....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this method, since the logical topology is fixed, the test port cannot be flexibly covered and tested, and the test script needs to be executed multiple times, and the test efficiency is low

In addition, when the logical topology relationship changes (such as adding a new link between two logical devices), the original test script will not be able to cover the newly added link and port, and needs to be modified again, which is less flexible
