First, referring to FIGS. 3 to 4B, the test web terminal 10 stores a event generated when the collection controller 125 uses the web terminal program 200 on the web terminal screen on the branch web terminal 10. The collection controller 125 requests the collection agent to collect the journal log (S10).

The collecting agent collects the terminal journal log storing the event generated when using the web terminal program on the web terminal screen on the web terminal 10 of the financial institution in an encrypted state by the encryption module (S20).

The collection agent reports the capacity of the collected terminal journal log to the collection controller 125 when the terminal journal log of a predetermined capacity is collected (S30) and transmits the terminal journal log of the predetermined capacity to the collection server 124. .

The collection server 124 stores the terminal journal log of the predetermined capacity received in the journal log database 126 (S50).

The terminal journal log stored in the journal log database 126 may be recorded by the recording unit 111 of the terminal program automation module 110 and reproduced by the reproducing unit 112 using the journal log editing automation module 120. Edit in a scripted manner (S60).

The terminal journal log edited by the journal log editing automation module 120 is decoded and stored in the test case database 101 by the decoding module (S70).

As described above, the test cases stored in the test case database 101 are automatically rerun using the web terminal program 200 (S80).

In this case, for example, when the peripheral terminal device 30 needs to be operated, the device automation module 130 (embedded device) reproduces a file recorded in a script manner, similarly to a peripheral device such as a pin pad 35. It is stored in the journal log and can be called and played back (S81).

In addition, when the package transaction includes a responsible transaction that requires approval of the responsible person or deputy manager when the customer transaction in the sales office, the responsible person approval request is automatically executed by the automatic officer approval module 140 (S82). ).

The result of the automatic redo test is collected and stored in a result value database (S90).

As described above, the test result report collected and stored in the result value database is reported by the test result report automation module 150 that verifies, analyzes, and reports (S100).

When editing the terminal journal log stored in the collection server using the journal log editor 123 of the journal log editing automation module 120, the terminal journal log is searched for using the log search unit 123a, and a test case. The test case is created to be recorded and reproduced in the terminal program automation module 110 using the composer 123b.

At this time, the script corresponding to the test case may be replaced by the script mapping unit 123c.

Meanwhile, the test case substituted with the script may be analyzed by the XML specialized analyzer 123d and behave with the corresponding XML full message.

Therefore, the transaction value of each field for each transaction screen mapped with the XML constituting the full text and the screen of the web terminal 10 may be converted in a script manner.

At this time, the terminal journal log is matched with a professional layout in order to connect the input information of the screen, and the log file and the professional layout are connected and displayed to facilitate classification and defect verification by screen center and program center. The effectiveness of verification can be improved for the whole work.

When the test cases stored in the test case database are automatically re-executed using a web terminal program, the bulk data is generated, the test cases are directly written by the developers by re-running a large transaction test by changing only the values in one test environment. In addition to unit and unit tests, a wider range of time-specific test scenarios can be created, including various integration scenarios to enable program verification and focused scenario checks for business operations.

The test result report module 150 may exist as a separate executable file, and may select a result file to be reported. In this case, the result content may be in an XML file or a DB form. The contents of the results are as follows: main results (test scenarios), data tables (multiple input data), test case results, test line script results (including checkpoints) [table, xml file structure and contents] main table, You can also represent file test scenario steps. The result is a master table and may include test cases.
