A Method of Automated Testing Based on Reflection

Abstract

A reflection-based automated testing method, first obtain all test unit modules of the system under test, and compile the corresponding Java code for each test unit module; then select the required test unit modules to form test cases, and test The use cases and corresponding test case information are stored in the database; finally, the test cases are read sequentially from the database, and the parameter array of Object[] type, the Class object of the Java class and the corresponding Java object are created according to the test unit module in the test case, and then executed complete test. Compared with the prior art, the present invention avoids the translation and conversion process from test cases to scripts, can directly execute tests dynamically according to test unit modules, does not need additional script interpreters, and has high execution efficiency and is easy to expand.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technique in the field of automated testing, in particular to a reflection-based automated testing method. Background technique [0002] In the traditional automated testing field, test cases are generally described and executed by directly writing scripts. However, script-based development syntax is more complicated, not intuitive, and poor maintainability. Compared with scripts, the graphical test case development method is simpler, quicker, more intuitive and easier to maintain. Graphical test case design is generally completed by test case designers by combining various test unit modules. How to drive the execution of test cases is a key issue. [0003] The patent "An automated test system and method for generating and running test scripts" (application number CN200710086936) proposes a graphical interface for testers to select test actions (equivalent to test unit modules), set corresponding parameters, and then pass t...

Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantage of this method is that it needs to deal with the mapping relationship between test actions (test unit modules) and test scripts, and generate scripts with correct syntax, which is more complicated

At the same time, the execution of test cases is actually realized by executing test scripts. It is necessary to develop corresponding script functions in advance and rely on script interpreters to interpret and execute scripts. The scalability is poor, the complexity is high, and the efficiency of interpretation and execution is low.
