The present invention relates to a quality test automation method using an automatic data generation function.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for automating quality test using an automatic data generation function that can create various test cases in an early time by using an automatic variable, date, and code value generation function.

In general, system development is carried out by IT development department, which has been commissioned by the business department to analyze the development, design the system, perform implementation and unit test, test it in an integrated manner, and then take over the acceptance test in the business department. Applies to the system.

Recently, in order to verify the legitimacy of the development system and to discover defects that the developer did not find from the end user's point of view, a dedicated team of experienced test teams were formed to improve the reliability of the development system before the acceptance test of the business department. I'm doing it.

In this integrated function test, a test case, which is a test scenario in which test items, test data, and expected results for detailed processing functions are recorded, in order to confirm the validity of a program written by the developer, must be prepared by the developer.

However, such a test case may generate a test error because it is difficult for a developer to consider all cases.

In addition, since there is always a lack of time to write a detailed test case, it is not possible to perform a batch of tests, and thus there is a problem in that the development system cannot be verified as a whole.

In addition, the test case thus prepared is directly manipulated by the tester to test the screen. Therefore, the tester must have an accurate understanding of the relevant screen before directly manipulating the screen for testing.

If the relevant screen is not accurately understood, there is a problem that the reliability of the test result may be lowered because the value to be input is not known.

In addition, in order to prevent this, there is a problem that the tester takes a lot of test time because the tester or the developer has to explain a separate time.

In addition, since the tester manually tests the developer's request, the integrated function test cannot generate various test cases, but also reports only the test result for the developer's request. There was a problem that could not be reused.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is that a newly developed system can be tested with sufficient data, and sufficient to be sufficiently verified by a variety of normal data and intentional abnormal data. It is to provide a method of automating quality test using automatic data generation.

It is an automated black box test that is performed without knowing the behavior of this (called the black box).

1 is a block diagram of a quality test automation system of a development system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a detailed configuration of a quality test automation engine of a quality test automation system of a development system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The block diagram shown.

Quality test automation system 1 of the development system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a web terminal 10 for executing a web terminal program of the development system, and the web terminal program of the development system through the web terminal 10 When driven, the host system 20 processes data processing through the web terminal 10, for example, request transaction. The host system 20 may further include an accounting system 21 for processing a transaction and a journal log database 23 for storing the processing result of the accounting system 21 together with customer information.

In order to process the data as described above, the terminal peripheral device 30 for inputting and outputting data required for data processing through the web terminal 10 and, in some cases, credit rating information, linking with other tasks, and accredited certification are required. As a result, credit rating agencies, bank associations, B2B linkages, and the KFTC server 40 need to be supported.

The terminal peripheral device 30 may include a pin pad 31 for inputting a password, a debit card issuer 32 for issuing a debit card when a new transaction is approved, an IC reader issuing machine 33, and a bankbook print 34. , Bankbook reader 35, and the like.

The web terminal program 200 of the web terminal 10 ensures the flexibility of the solution by adopting standard technologies such as JAVA, XML, and the like based on Windows, and enables the execution of various financial tasks on one screen by implementing a single view. Enhance the efficiency of work process through flexible data linkage between tasks, support the user's personalized functions through the terminal peripheral processing, responsible person approval, integrated management of message transmission / reception, security enhancement through SSO implementation, and unified user management.

The quality test automation engine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal program automation module 110 of a development system that records and reproduces contents manipulated by a user.

In the present specification, a user means a teller teller, and the contents manipulated by the teller teller can be used as a test case, for example, a journal log that stores a transaction such as a demand transaction. Test case means the minimum unit that can be tested and get the result.

As such, in order to use the journal log as a test case, the quality test automation engine 100 further includes a journal log automation module 120 that collects and edits the journal log to make a test case and use the test log in a batch.

In addition, recording the operation as it is, including not only mouse operation and keyboard input but also various device equipment operation, the quality test automation engine 100, password input, passbook factors, debit required for financial transactions, such as unsolicited transactions It further includes a device automation module 130 for automating such a device test to be tested in a batch by automating the execution of the terminal peripheral devices such as card issuance.

In addition, when an operator interfaces with the web terminal 10 to make a transaction through the web terminal program 200, the person in charge may need approval. In general, responsible person approval is when the operator sends the approval request to the responsible person's terminal, the responsible person must confirm the requested transaction and enter the password to approve it. There is a problem.

In order to automate such responsible approval, the quality test automation engine 100 includes a responsible person approval automation module 140 that automatically inputs a responsible person's password and returns to the operator's terminal when the responsible person's approval request comes in. do.

Test cases in which batch transactions have been tested can be aggregated to form a test scenario.

In addition, the quality test automation engine 100 may include a result report automation module 150 that automatically generates a result report using the result value of the test case.

Now, the quality test automation engine 100 and its test data automatic generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7B.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automating quality test using an automatic data generation function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4A and 4B are screen examples for mass-producing a test case among data recorded by a script method. FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are screen examples showing test cases automatically generated in a result grid form, and FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B illustrate screen examples for mass producing test cases by changing a date field among input fields of a test case displayed in a grid form. 6A and 6B illustrate screen examples for mass-producing test cases with different classification codes using a list data search window, and as a result, test cases automatically generated in a grid form. 7A to 7B illustrate a test case using a user list. A represents the test case automatically generated help screen illustrating a mass production and as a result grid-type screen illustrated FIG.

First, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 7B, the test web terminal 10 will be described in the case where the web terminal program 200 is a demand deposit transaction. For example, the test web terminal 10 selects a request payment transaction through the web terminal 10 and selects an account. The number is received (S10), and the operation of the terminal program executed by the operator is recorded as it is outputted in a script manner as shown (S20). The script method is normalized to edit the operation contents in an input / output method having a computer language structure, and the script generated in the recording step stores the contents of the input / output information to be reproduced (S21).

To this end, the terminal program automation unit 110 is a main control unit (WinTAS Main) 111 for controlling the component to work with the web terminal 200 of the window system, and inputs the operation of the terminal program that the operator executes As such, it includes a script editing unit 112 for recording the output as shown in the script method, a test case generator 113 for generating a test case of the script created by the script editing unit 112, the test case generator 113 Test cases generated by are stored in the test case database 116 to be used as the data of the repeated test.

On the other hand, the script editing unit 112 overcomes the limitations of HTML and overcomes the limitations of SGML with an XML format (a standardized text format designed to transmit structured documents on the web) generated during the recording process so that the recorded script can be reproduced. The definition part 112a which pre-defined the window message of the user can define a new tag in HTML as a script which can be intuitively understood by the user, and moves this script to the line number input, Replace, Copy, Cut, Paste, Copy Documentation to Clipboard, Undo / Redo, BreakPoint Insert / Delete (Stop one step and proceed to the next step), Syntax Highlighting Script Editor (112b), Script Syntax Verification unit 112c for checking errors, generator 112d for generating test cases with scripts, peripherals and journal logs. A device subscription portion (112e) and a journal log script portion (112f) for writing the output to a scripts may further include.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the message generated during the recording process is delivered to the script editor 112b in an XML format, the XML message is parsed to generate a script, and Syntax Highlighting information is added to display a line. do.

Various scripts are edited using the script editor 112b to generate test cases by the generation unit 112c and store them in the test case script database 116 through the script checking unit 112d.

If you change the part of the script that communicates with the test automation engine 100 into a dummy and executes only the JavaScript part in a web browser, you can conveniently check for grammatical errors using an existing standardized program without configuring a separate verification engine. . To this end, the terminal program test automation module 110 further includes a Java control manager 114. The hooking unit 114a and the JavaScript which support to obtain or change the information of the corresponding process are hooked to another process. Including the XML generator 114b for converting the XML, it can be transmitted as an XML document upon replay of the test case stored in the test case database 116.

The test case stored in the test case database 116 is automatically rerun (S22) and transmits a command to execute the web terminal program 200 (S30).

In this case, using the script stored in the database 116, test data mapped thereto, and format information, the test case generation unit 113 may automatically generate a plurality of grids as desired as shown in FIG. 4A. have.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the rows of the grid may repeatedly display one test case. If there are 10 rows of data, 10 identical test cases can be performed.

In addition, the column of the grid refers to a data field constituting one test case, and may display a customer name, withdrawal account number, pin pad password, passcode number, transaction result, transaction type, and the like.

If there are 10 column data such as lining signature transaction part, pin pad password input, button, etc, it means that there are 10 input fields.

Therefore, the test can be performed by different input data field types for each row, that is, the same test case.

In other words. Quality test automation method using the automatic data generation function according to an embodiment of the present invention can save the test data and reuse it if necessary to reduce the test case creation and verification time for developers and testers always chasing time This can allow for faithful testing.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, a list data generation window may be called to automatically generate a plurality of test cases having different numbers, dates, and the like as shown in FIG. 5B.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6A, a popup list list may be selected by calling the list data search window, and a plurality of test cases having different division lists may be generated as shown in FIG. 6B.

In FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, a unit of a foreign currency is selected as a division code, and grid columns are generated by changing foreign currency units such as dollars, yen, pounds, and dollars.

That is, the quality test automation method using the automatic data generation function according to an embodiment of the present invention, there are many transaction codes in the pop-up window contained in the transaction screen bar can automatically test for a combination of various transaction codes, In this case, test data can be created without limit.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the intended abnormal test data may be selected by selecting a user list stored in the list data generating window.

7B illustrates a date error that allows a developer or tester to easily verify the error in the program.

Quality test automation method using the automatic data generation function according to an embodiment of the present invention stores the test data that developers and testers can easily find defects when the test is executed and recalled when necessary to use for testing This makes it easier to spot defects, and the data can be shared by multiple testers, making testing more efficient.

In this way, the web terminal program is automatically re-executed using the automatically generated data (S40).

In this case, as in the case of the peripheral device such as the bankbook issuer 35, the device automation module 130 transmits the result instead of the processing (S41).

The device automation unit 130 constructs a virtual driver, recognizes the embedded board as a USB device, and records the actions of the operator of the terminal program in the same manner so that the peripheral device does not actually exist (not connected) to the device controller. Even if it is set to a mode that only works by running a Windows test program, it is possible to perform batch real test.

Meanwhile, the test result report automation module 150 collects the test results (S50), compares and verifies the contents corresponding to the check points of the output screen, and stores the test results in the test result report database 116 (S51). The search unit 151 may also search and use the test result report printing unit 152 to automatically report the test result by the snapshot print (S60).

Such redo can be performed by using input values that were used at the time of recording, and can be performed by generating a test case that extracts only an input portion into a log stored in the BP to the journal log script 114f and utilizes it as data for repeated tests. have.

At this time, in order to reproduce the recording order, it is necessary to synchronize the sequence between the device operation and the terminal operation, the test automation engine 100 to the device automation unit (embedded device 130) to know at what time the terminal program operates the device. It is located in the middle of the peripheral terminal 30 and the device to intercept and script the operation.
