Problems solved by technology

The embedded software GUI automated testing equipment adopts a non-intrusive automatic testing mechanism to convert human-computer interaction into mouse and keyboard simulation equipment control commands. The test platform software does not need to run in the same system as the tested software, which solves the problem of ordinary GUI testing. The tool cannot test the embedded software GUI. At the same time, the application of this device is not limited by the operating environment of the device where the embedded software is tested, and has nothing to do with the operating system of the device where the embedded software is tested. As long as it supports the mouse and keyboard Input types, all capable of automated testing of embedded software GUI

Embodiment Construction

[0012] The core of the present invention is to provide a kind of embedded software GUI automation test equipment, according to the execution step of the test case, convert the test script in Python format, convert the human-computer interaction into the control command of the mouse and keyboard simulation equipment, realize the mouse and keyboard of the software under test control, so as to input the required human-computer interaction information, and realize the execution of test cases; at the same time, based on the principle of not interfering with the system under test, directly collect the video data output from the system under test to the display, and compare the images by processing the image data , image search and text recognition, and automatically judge the execution result of the test case according to the expected output of the test case.

[0013] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present i...

Abstract

The invention discloses automatic test equipment for the GUI of embedded software. The automatic test equipment is characterized by comprising an automatic test control computer, a video information collection system, an image information feature recognition system, a keyboard and mouse simulation system, a test information management system, a communication system and an automatic test executioncontrol system. According to the automatic test equipment for the GUI of the embedded software, a non-invasive automatic test mechanism is adopted, it is not required that test platform software and the to-be-tested software run in the same system, and the problem that a common GUI test tool cannot be used for testing the GUI of the embedded software is solved; meanwhile, application of the equipment is not limited by the running environment of equipment where the embedded software is located and is unrelated to the operating system of the equipment where the embedded software is located, andin any mouse and keyboard supporting input type, the GUI of the embedded software can be automatically tested.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software testing, in particular to an embedded software GUI automatic testing equipment. Background technique [0002] For embedded software with a GUI (Graphical User Interface, also known as a graphical user interface), the output judgment of the graphical interface is mainly performed by the human brain and completed by manual input operations. Due to the addition of "human" factors, the cross-linking environment of the software under test must have "human" simulation capabilities in order to fully realize the automatic execution of the test. However, due to the limitations of embedded software hardware conditions, operating system environment, and performance requirements, it is very difficult to monitor GUI in real time, simulate keyboard and mouse operations, etc., resulting in the lack of effective tools for GUI automated testing of embedded software. [0003] Common software GUI testing usually u...
