Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although 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 for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flowchart of a method for UI automation testing 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 conjunction 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 the test logic. That is to say, the test case contains the data used in the test and the description information of the test logic, but does not contain specific execution instructions.

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

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

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

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

In one 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 pictures is a test case. The implementation of some UI automation tests in the prior art is as follows: centrally save the test pictures, and write the test pictures and the corresponding test logic in another file (such as an Excel document). In this case, the file is generally called a test case, and the test picture is only used as the test data used in the test, thus forming a loose coupling. However, it is very inconvenient to view test results and manage test cases and test data. For example, if you find that the test of a certain control is not successful, you need to open the file, determine the corresponding test picture, and then open the test picture. The steps are very cumbersome. However, in this embodiment, the folder containing the test picture is directly used as the test case. When the test result is checked back, the corresponding test picture can be directly located, and the basic logic of the test can be quickly understood through the test picture file name. Intuitive and simple.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, the file name of the test picture includes the sequence identification 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 identification 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 picture corresponding to the new sequence ID; end the UI automation test when the test picture corresponding to the last sequence ID in the test sequence in the folder is read, or, when the test result is based on a test picture When it is determined that the test end condition is met, the UI automation test is ended.

For example, there are ten test pictures beginning with 01, 02...10 under the folder, which are used as the sequence identification of the test sequence. When testing, first read the picture starting with 01, get the test logic according to the remaining part of its file name, generate the corresponding test instruction, complete the test according to the picture, and then read the picture starting with 02... until the picture starting with 10 The picture test is complete. This completes the test for a test case.

In some cases, it is possible to execute different test logics according to different test results of certain test pictures. For example, click a control to jump, then other tests need to be performed when the control does not exist. 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 file name of the test picture may also include an instruction to directly judge the end of the test according to the test result, for example, if a certain picture is not recognized, the test is directly ended. The above test process also supports the interference 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), so you can use the test picture Add the test picture 07 corresponding to the floating window before 08, so that although it is not actually necessary to test the floating window 08, because it is an interference, you can also operate it, for example, click on the floating window, and after it disappears, it will reveal the corresponding test picture 08. controls so that UI automation testing can continue. In this way, the execution logic of the test picture 07 becomes just one click, and whether the click is successful or not does not affect the presentation of the test results, because this is not the purpose of the test.

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

There may be multiple operations based on a test image, or there may be only one operation; the operation itself may only determine whether a control corresponding to a test image exists, or it may be necessary to click on the control, or the control may be an input box that needs to be entered some test data. Examples of three file names are given below:

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

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

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

Similarly, it can be seen that the test may include multiple steps, which also have a sequence. In one 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, traversing in order character strings to obtain each identifier and the 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 command that can be understood by testers, not an actual test command. In this embodiment, a test command mapping table can be preset to set the mapping relationship between pseudo-commands and test commands. In this way, the naming of test pictures also depends on the test command mapping table for setting.

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 all trigger the corresponding user event, and the corresponding test instruction belongs to the judgment instruction; while exist belongs to the judgment of whether the picture exists, and the corresponding test instruction belongs to the Judgment command; when the test picture does not exist, it will not follow the original order but jump to test other test pictures. The corresponding test command belongs to the jump command. 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 of searching for pictures may be different due to various reasons, so the test time can also be set to meet the slow response of some requests due to the test environment and other reasons. 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 screenshots of the UI are identified, and it is judged whether the screenshots contain the picture content of the test picture. The subsequent tests can refer to the examples of several test logics given in the previous embodiments, 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 "confirmation" in the UI interface, which are completely consistent. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to support the identification and corresponding operations on all the same pictures of this type, such as clicking. In the test case, only one picture needs to be placed, and only the corresponding test information in the file name needs to be modified. , for example, to mark that two identical pictures may be identified, and to perform a click operation on both pictures.

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

In this way, the quick inspection of the test results is realized, and the test cases and corresponding test pictures can be found immediately after seeing the test results, which greatly facilitates the inspection of the test personnel and improves the test efficiency.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of an apparatus for UI automation testing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the device 200 for UI automation testing includes:

The test case reading unit 210 is adapted to read the test case from the storage path of the test case.

The meaning of the test case is usually analyzed in conjunction 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 the test logic. That is to say, the test case contains the data used in the test and the description information of the test logic, but does not contain specific execution instructions.

The test instruction generating unit 220 is adapted to generate test instructions corresponding to each test picture according to the file name of each test picture in the test case.

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

The testing unit 230 is adapted to complete UI automation testing according to testing instructions and corresponding testing pictures.

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

The test picture corresponding to the new sequence ID; when the test picture corresponding to the last sequence ID in the test sequence in the folder is read, the UI automation test ends, or when the test result of a test picture determines that the test ends When the condition is met, the UI automation test ends.

For example, there are ten test pictures beginning with 01, 02...10 under the folder, which are used as the sequence identification of the test order. When testing, first read the picture starting with 01, get the test logic according to the remaining part of its file name, generate the corresponding test instruction, complete the test according to the picture, and then read the picture starting with 02... until the picture starting with 10 The picture test is complete. This completes the test for a test case.

In some cases, it is possible to execute different test logics according to different test results of certain test pictures. For example, click a control to jump, then other tests need to be performed when the control does not exist. 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 file name of the test picture may also include an instruction to directly judge the end of the test according to the test result, for example, if a certain picture is not recognized, the test is directly ended.

Obviously, click is a pseudo command that can be understood by testers, not an actual test command. In this embodiment, a test command mapping table can be preset to set the mapping relationship between pseudo-commands and test commands.
