FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of a data verification method according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the data verification method may include:
and S1, receiving a data verification request.
The data verification request may include a plurality of attributes and expected values corresponding to the attributes. The plurality of attributes may include an attribute having identification information and an attribute not having identification information. For example, the data check request may include three properties, namely property1, property2, and property3, where the expected value of property1 is property1 ', the expected value of property2 is property2 ', and the expected value of property3 is property3 '. Then, one identification information may be set for the attribute 1. Of course, identification information may also be set for attribute 2. Here, the setting may be made according to an actual data verification request.
And S2, searching by taking the attribute with the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute as a searching condition, and acquiring data meeting the searching condition.
Specifically, a search sentence corresponding to the search condition may be generated, and the corresponding database may be searched according to the search sentence. For example: the search statement is select property2, property3from table _ XX where property1 is property1 ', where property1 is the property value of property1, property 1' is the expected value of property1, and property1 carries identification information. The database table _ XX may be retrieved based on property1 and its expected value property1 'to select the property value property2 for property2 and the property value property3 for property3from the database table _ XX when property1 is property 1'.
And S3, verifying the data according to the attribute without the identification information and the corresponding expected value.
Specifically, the attribute field that is consistent with the attribute without the identification information in the data and the attribute value corresponding to the attribute field may be obtained, and then the attribute value corresponding to the attribute field and the expected value of the attribute without the identification information may be compared one by one. If the attribute value is consistent with the expected value of the attribute without the identification information, the verification is passed; if the attribute value is not consistent with the expected value of the attribute without the identification information, the check fails. For example, when property1 is property 1', the obtained property value of property2 is property2 and the obtained property value of property3 is property 3. Then, according to the verification rules, property2vs property2 'and property3vs property 3', the property value of property2 is property2 and the expected value property2 'of property2 are compared, and the property value of property3 is property3 and the expected value property 3' of property3 are compared. If property2 is property2 'and property3 is property 3', the check passes. If the attribute value of either of attribute 2 and attribute 3 is not consistent with its corresponding expected value, the check fails.
It should be understood that when different data verification requests are received, corresponding data files do not need to be generated for the data verification requests, attribute values of other attributes can be obtained only by setting one piece of identification information for the attributes and using the identification information as a retrieval condition for retrieval, and then the attribute values and expected values of the other attributes are verified, so that the problem that corresponding identification information needs to be set for each attribute during each verification is solved.
According to the data verification method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the data verification request is received, the attribute with the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute are used as the retrieval conditions for retrieval, the data meeting the retrieval conditions are obtained, and the data are verified according to the attribute without the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute, so that corresponding data files do not need to be generated aiming at different verification requests, the limitation of the identification information is avoided, the data verification method is more flexible, the attribute needing to be verified and the attribute value corresponding to the attribute are reversely determined, and the verification efficiency is improved.

The receiving module 110 is configured to receive a data verification request. The data verification request may include a plurality of attributes and expected values corresponding to the attributes. The plurality of attributes may include an attribute having identification information and an attribute not having identification information. For example, the data check request may include three properties, namely property1, property2, and property3, where the expected value of property1 is property1 ', the expected value of property2 is property2 ', and the expected value of property3 is property3 '. Then, one identification information may be set for the attribute 1. Of course, identification information may also be set for attribute 2. Here, the setting may be made according to an actual data verification request.
The retrieving module 120 is configured to retrieve the attribute with the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute as a retrieving condition, and obtain data meeting the retrieving condition. Specifically, a search sentence corresponding to the search condition may be generated, and the corresponding database may be searched according to the search sentence. For example: the search statement is select property2, property3from table _ XX where property1 is property1 ', where property1 is the property value of property1, property 1' is the expected value of property1, and property1 carries identification information. The database table _ XX may be retrieved based on property1 and its expected value property1 'to select the property value property2 for property2 and the property value property3 for property3from the database table _ XX when property1 is property 1'.
The checking module 130 is configured to check the data according to the attribute without the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute. Specifically, the attribute field that is consistent with the attribute without the identification information in the data and the attribute value corresponding to the attribute field may be obtained, and then the attribute value corresponding to the attribute field and the expected value of the attribute without the identification information may be compared one by one. If the attribute value is consistent with the expected value of the attribute without the identification information, the verification is passed; if the attribute value is not consistent with the expected value of the attribute without the identification information, the check fails. For example, when property1 is property 1', the obtained property value of property2 is property2 and the obtained property value of property3 is property 3. Then, according to the verification rules, property2vs property2 'and property3vs property 3', the property value of property2 is property2 and the expected value property2 'of property2 are compared, and the property value of property3 is property3 and the expected value property 3' of property3 are compared. If property2 is property2 'and property3 is property 3', the check passes. If the attribute value of either of attribute 2 and attribute 3 is not consistent with its corresponding expected value, the check fails.
It should be understood that when different data verification requests are received, corresponding data files do not need to be generated for the data verification requests, attribute values of other attributes can be obtained only by setting one piece of identification information for the attributes and using the identification information as a retrieval condition for retrieval, and then the attribute values and expected values of the other attributes are verified, so that the problem that corresponding identification information needs to be set for each attribute during each verification is solved.
According to the data verification device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the data verification request is received, the attribute with the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute are used as the retrieval conditions for retrieval, the data meeting the retrieval conditions are obtained, and the data are verified according to the attribute without the identification information and the expected value corresponding to the attribute, so that corresponding data files do not need to be generated aiming at different verification requests, the limitation of the identification information is not needed, the data verification device is more flexible, the attribute needing to be verified and the attribute value corresponding to the attribute are reversely determined, and the verification efficiency is improved.
