Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of test methods of shape user interface, and in particular to a kind of cross-platform graphic user interface is certainly
Dynamic test method.
Background technology
The exploitation and test of graphic user interface are parts the most complicated in software development process, because being used for figure
The operation at family interface is free, therefore on slightly more complex graphic user interface, and the combination of operation order is just very numerous
It is more.And in testing, graphical interfaces can not often be tested automatically, and it is limited to workload and operating habit, manual testing
When institute covered operation logic it is often considerably less so that by the software of test after distribution, the random operation of user is just
Lead to program crashing, seriously affect user experience.
The scheme that graphical user interface program is tested automatically, realization method can substantially be had by having some at present
It is following two：
1st, the interface function that call operation system provides in external test driver or script obtains interface control position
The mode for putting and simulating mouse-keyboard operation is realized.Although this method can realize the purpose tested automatically, have following
It is insufficient：
1) API of heavy dependence particular platform needs supported for the test that needs cross-platform application program
A set of automatic test machine system is all implemented separately on platform, workload is huge.
2) operating result can not accurately be judged.Sometimes graphic user interface output is more complicated, especially for painting certainly
Control, external program be difficult to accurately obtain output content, influence test accuracy.
2nd, increase test code or script inside application program.Since calling correlation can be passed through inside application program
Interface function easily get the information of software interface element, and can be by directly invoking the side of event handling function
Formula simulates external event, thus can accurately judge whether the content of interface output is correct.Further, since it does not need to pass through behaviour
Make the specific interface of system to obtain interface information, but interface unified in application can be called to realize, be thus convenient for
Realize cross-platform test case.The test code or script that this mode is disadvantageous in that in distinct program are only mutually
Vertical, for distributed system, it is not easy to write the test case of centralized Control test process.
Invention content
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a kind of work that can save test driver exploitation realized using RPC
Work amount can greatly improve the cross-platform graphic user interface automatic test approach of graphical interface program reliability again.
The technological means that the present invention uses is mainly the graphical user using RPC modes to software in test driver
Interface is operated.The full name of RPC is " remote procedure call " (Remote Procedure Call Protocol), is exactly logical
Method of the network call remotely-or locally on computer is crossed, just as calling local method similar, without being concerned about bottom-layer network
The details of communication protocol.
To solve the above problems, the technical solution that the present invention takes is：A kind of cross-platform graphic user interface is surveyed automatically
Method for testing includes the following steps：
Step 1: the interface for operating graphical user-interface element is registered as into RPC service interface in the application；

Need disclosed interface that the form for being similar to the statement of C++ class type is used to be described；
1.2 compile the skeleton generation of the corresponding serve end program of idl file generation by the command-line tool of an entitled idl
The code of generation is simultaneously added in application program by code (Skeleton)；
1.3 write interface disclosed in code realization, wherein can be with the interface function of calling interface control module；
1.4 call the interface function in CORBA libraries to start service.
By above-mentioned steps 1.1 to step 1.4, tested application program is used by graphical user interface object and to figure
The function of family interface operation is exposed to RPC service.
A RPC client is initialized in step 2 in test driver.Equally, for different RPC frames,
The initialization mode of RPC clients is also different.By taking CORBA agreements as an example, following steps are needed：
2.1 by the idl file of tested application program, and idl command-line tools compiling idl file is used to generate corresponding visitor
Family end program stake code (Stub)；
2.2 are added to the stake code of generation in test driver；
If 2.3 tested program more than one, need the mistake to each tested routine executing step 2.1 and 2.1
Journey；
2.4 add in test case code in test driver, can pass through preceding step in test case code
It the interface of interface operation tested program, the event of analog manual operation in the stake code of generation and obtains interface display and tests
Whether card meets the requirements, and test result is output to interface or is recorded in test log.
Graphic user interface is operated by RPC by step 2.1 to step 2.4 test driver, is simulated artificial
Test process, and the content exported on graphical user interface object is obtained and judged, so as to fulfill automatic test.This hair
It is bright by being implanted into an interface control module in tested application program, pass through the interface function of calling interface component internal
Carry out simulated operation and obtain content；Then the interface function that interface control module provides is supplied to external tune by RPC service
With, it can be understood as add a back door, by way of acting from inside in coordination with forces attacking from outside, operated to program to application.
Currently a popular RPC agreements have cross-platform realization of increasing income, therefore can including XML-RPC, RMI, CORBA etc.
Very easily to realize details of the cross-platform autorun without considering specific Cross-border congestion management.In addition, to other
The function that program is controlled can be realized in same test driver, so as to all applications to whole system
The test that program is concentrated.
The present invention is realized using cross-platform RPC, is specially developed Test driver without being directed to particular platform, is saved test and drive
The workload of dynamic program exploitation.Furthermore, it is possible to all application programs to entire distributed system carry out joint test.For example,
When testing JXC System, one new cargo of addition in Inventory Management Software can be simulated, is then followed by marketing system
It retrieves the information of the product and whether consistent compares.Driver obtains the interface assembly of each application program by RPC interfaces
Output content, accurately decision result whether can meet expection.Since test driver can simulate various interfaces
