Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be more thoroughly understood, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic flowchart of a method for automated testing of a user interface UI according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:

Step S110, read the test case from the storage path of the test case.

The meaning of the test case is usually analyzed in combination with the usage scenario. In the embodiment of the present invention, the automated test code is separated from the test case, but the test case also includes test logic. That is to say, the test case contains the data used by the test and the description information of the test logic, but does not contain specific execution instructions.

Therefore, in step S120, a test instruction corresponding to each test picture is generated according to the file name of each test picture in the test case.

It can be seen that the file name contains description information of the test logic. For example, the image content of a test image describes a control in the application, and the file name describes the click operation on this control, then the test instruction is based on these Generated.

Step S130, the UI automation test is completed according to the test instruction and the corresponding test picture.

It can be seen that in the method shown in Figure 1, the test case is read from the storage path of the test case, and the test instruction corresponding to each test image is generated according to the file name of each test image in the test case. According to the test instruction and the corresponding test image Complete UI automation testing. Based on the modification of the test image file name, the technical solution realizes the tight coupling between the test case and the test image, which is convenient for management and test result investigation, and at the same time, the code of the automated test can also be automatically generated according to the rules, which is convenient to use.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, the test case is a folder containing several test pictures.

It can be seen that a folder containing several test images is a test case. Some UI automation tests in the prior art are implemented as follows: save the test pictures in a centralized manner, and write the test pictures and corresponding test logic in another file (for example, an Excel document). In this case, the file is generally called a test case, and the test image is only used as the test data used in the test, thus forming loose coupling. However, it is very inconvenient to view test results and manage test cases and test data. For example, if the test of a certain control is found to be unsuccessful, it is necessary to open the file, determine the corresponding test image, and then open the test image. The steps are very cumbersome. In this embodiment, the folder containing the test image is directly used as the test case. When the test result is reversely checked, the corresponding test image can be directly located, and the basic logic of the test can be quickly understood through the file name of the test image. Intuitive and simple.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, the file name of the test image includes the sequence identifier of the test sequence; reading the test case from the storage path of the test case includes: reading from the folder according to the sequence identifier A test picture, wherein one test picture is read each time, and after the corresponding test is completed according to the test picture, the test picture corresponding to the next sequence identifier in the test sequence is read, or a new sequence identifier is determined according to the test result , read the test image corresponding to the new sequence ID; end the UI automation test when the test image corresponding to the last sequence ID in the test sequence in the folder is read, or, when the test result based on a test image When it is determined that the test end condition is met, end the UI automation test.

For example, there are ten test pictures starting with 01, 02...10 under the folder, which are used as the sequence identifier of the test sequence. Then during the test, first read the picture starting with 01, obtain the test logic according to the rest of its file name, generate the corresponding test command, complete the test according to the picture, and then read the picture starting with 02... until the beginning of 10 The picture test is completed. This completes the test for one test case.

In some cases, it is possible to execute different test logic according to different test results of some test pictures. For example, you can click a control to jump, then when the control does not exist, you need to perform other tests. Then, when the test picture 03 fails, jump to the test of the test picture 08 instead of continuing the test of the test picture 04.

The test instruction generated according to the test image file name may also include an instruction to directly determine to end the test according to the test result. For example, if a certain image is not recognized, the test is directly terminated. The above test process also supports the interfering scene pictures that appear in the UI automation test process. For example, the test picture 08 may be blocked by a floating window (such as the system floating window, not the floating window of the application to be tested). Add the test picture 07 corresponding to the suspension window before 08, so that although the test suspension window 08 is not actually required, but because it is an interference, it can also be operated, for example, click the suspension window, and after it disappears, the corresponding test picture 08 is exposed. controls so that UI automation testing can continue. In this way, the execution logic of the test picture 07 becomes a click, and whether the click is successful or not does not affect the presentation of the test result, because this is not the purpose of the test.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, the file name of the test image includes several pieces of test information and an identifier corresponding to each test information; the test information includes pseudo-instructions of the test instructions and/or test data.

Based on a test image, there may be multiple operations, or there may be only one operation; the operation itself may be only to determine whether the control corresponding to a test image exists, or it may be necessary to click the control, or the control may be an input box, which requires input Some test data. Examples of three filenames are given below:

01_click_key_Enter.png; 02_exist.png; 03_type_value.png.

Among them, the test pictures starting with 01 need to click on the control first, judge the feature item (key), and then perform the operation of pressing the Enter key (Enter); the test pictures starting with 02 only need to judge whether the corresponding picture content exists; 03 The test picture at the beginning needs to enter (type) the value of the corresponding test data in the control. That is, a test image supports multiple test instructions.

It can be seen that there are multiple test information in the file name, which are separated by "_" or underscore. Of course, in other embodiments, other identification symbols may be used to identify each test information.

Likewise, it can be seen that testing may include multiple steps, which also exist in a sequence. In an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, according to the file name of each test picture in the test case, generating the test instruction corresponding to each test picture includes: reading the file name of the test picture as a character string, and traversing sequentially character string to obtain each identifier and test information corresponding to each identifier; search the test instruction mapping table according to the pseudo-instruction in the test information, and find out the corresponding test instruction.

Obviously, click is a pseudo-instruction that can be understood by the tester, not an actual test instruction. In this embodiment, a test instruction mapping table may be preset to set the mapping relationship between the pseudo-instruction and the test instruction, so that the test image needs to be set by relying on the test instruction mapping table when naming.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, the test instruction includes one or more of the following: an instruction to trigger a user event, a judgment instruction, a jump instruction, and a test time setting instruction.

For example, click corresponds to the operation of clicking the screen, and Enter corresponds to the operation of pressing the Enter key. These are the corresponding user events that trigger the corresponding test instructions, and the corresponding test instructions belong to the judgment instructions; and exist is to judge whether the picture exists, and the corresponding test instructions belong to Judgment instruction; when the test image does not exist, jump to test other test images instead of the original order. The corresponding test instruction belongs to the jump instruction. In fact, it is easy to think of the logic corresponding to the if else statement in the code; in the UI interface The response time may be different for various reasons. Therefore, the test time can also be set to meet the request of slow response due to some reasons such as the test environment. The corresponding test command is the test time setting command.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, completing the UI automation test according to the test instruction and the corresponding test picture includes: taking a screenshot of the UI of the application, and identifying the test picture in the screenshot; according to the image recognition result and the test instruction Complete UI automation testing.

In this embodiment, based on the image recognition technology, the screenshot of the UI is identified, and it is judged whether the screenshot contains the picture content of the test picture. For subsequent tests, refer to the examples of several test logics given in the previous embodiment, such as clicking Controls or input test data, etc.

Among them, based on a test picture, it is possible to identify multiple identical parts from the screenshot, for example, there are two pictures corresponding to "confirm" in the UI interface, which are completely consistent. In the embodiment of the present invention, all the same pictures can be recognized and corresponding operations can be performed, such as clicking, and only one picture needs to be placed in the test case, and only the corresponding test information in the file name can be modified. , for example, marking that two identical pictures may be identified, and clicking on both pictures.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the above method further includes: saving the test result of the UI automation test and the corresponding test case in the same directory.

In this way, the rapid investigation of test results is realized. If you can see the test results, you can immediately find test cases and corresponding test pictures, which greatly facilitates the inspection of testers and improves the test efficiency.

The test unit 230 is adapted to complete the UI automation test according to the test instruction and the corresponding test picture.

It can be seen that the device shown in Figure 2, through the cooperation of each unit, reads the test case from the storage path of the test case, and generates the test instruction corresponding to each test image according to the file name of each test image in the test case. Test instructions and corresponding test images complete UI automation testing. Based on the modification of the test image file name, the technical solution realizes the tight coupling between the test case and the test image, which is convenient for management and test result investigation, and at the same time, the code of the automated test can also be automatically generated according to the rules, which is convenient to use.
