An automatic test system and method suitable for compiler in logic configuration software

Abstract

A system and method suitable for automatic testing of compilers in logic configuration software. The test system includes a test drive tool and a test tool, and the test drive tool is used to call the test tool, complete the test of the test case and generate a test report, wherein the test case includes the project to be tested and is used to describe the test process. Test script file. The testing tools include script engine, test fixture and online debugging module, etc.; the test driving tools include parsing configuration file module, statistical module, execution use case module, generating report module and sending e-mail module, etc. The test cases designed based on the automated test system can not only verify the correctness of the compiler in the logic configuration software, but also verify the correctness of some other non-GUI type modules and controller software in the logic configuration software. The invention can realize only writing a test case set, whenever the logic configuration software needs to release a new version, it can automatically execute the test case set and generate a test report to judge whether there is a compiler defect, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the test work.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computer software testing, and in particular relates to a system and method suitable for automatic testing of compilers in logic configuration software. Using the testing system, it is only necessary to write a test case once, and each time the logic configuration software and its control When a new version of the server software needs to be released, the test case can be automatically executed again to determine whether it is defective. Background technique [0002] In industrial automation control, the control system composed of logic configuration software and controller software (also known as upper computer and lower computer) is widely used in various control fields: such as distributed control system (DCS), programmable controller (PLC) etc. The logic configuration software is responsible for modeling the control logic, compiling and generating binary instructions and packaging them into sf files, and then ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) Test cases are described using natural language, and the description often exists inaccurate or even wrong;

[0007] (2) Whenever the logic configuration software or controller software releases a new version, it is necessary to manually execute the test cases again, which is highly repeatable;

[0008] (3) But the test cycle is long, time-consuming and labor-intensive;

[0009] (4) The execution process is boring, the execution efficiency is low and error-prone;
