Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an interface testing method according to an exemplary embodiment, where an execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is a testing terminal, and as shown in fig. 2, the interface testing method includes the following steps:

201. the test terminal acquires definition information of the target interface.

In the related art, when a target interface needs to be tested, after definition information of the target interface is acquired, a tester needs to manually analyze the definition information, know function description information and input parameter information about the target interface, and determine test input parameters after thinking and judging through a brain. This process of manually determining test input parameters takes a long time and is inefficient.

In the embodiment of the invention, the test terminal can acquire the definition information of the target interface, determine the test input parameter directly according to the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range of the target interface, and does not need a tester to analyze the definition information, thereby saving the test time and improving the test efficiency.

The test terminal may be a mobile phone, a computer, or the like, and the target interface may be a display interface, a play interface, or an interface providing other functions, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

The definition information includes the specified parameter type of the target interface and the corresponding specified parameter range, the specified parameter type is the type of the input parameter when the target interface operates normally, and the specified parameter range is the range to which the input parameter belongs when the target interface operates normally.

The specified parameter type may be a numerical value type, a character string type, an array type, a custom type, or the like, or may be other types, which is not limited herein in the embodiments of the present invention. The specified parameter range corresponds to the specified parameter type and can be 0-10, a-d, etc. The correspondence between the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range may be as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

Specifying parameter types	Specifying parameter ranges
		Type of value	0-10
Character string type	"the contents of Chinese characters,japan, USA "
		Of the Boolean type	true，false

The definition information may also include function description information of the target interface, which is used to describe the functions that the target interface can implement when the specified parameters are transmitted. For example, the target interface may be a median interface, the specified parameter type of the median interface is "numerical type", the specified parameter range is "0 to 10", the function description information is "median value of input parameters", and the definition information of the median interface is (numerical type, 0 to 10, median value of input parameters).

In practical application, definition information of any interface is contained in an interface file of the interface, the interface file is generally in a js (javascript) format, and it is inconvenient to acquire the definition information from the interface file in the format. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the format of the interface file of the target interface is converted from js format to xml (Extensible Markup Language) format, which is convenient for the test terminal to obtain the definition information from the interface file.

Specifically, the format conversion step may include the following steps one to four:

the method comprises the following steps: and acquiring a first interface file in a js format, wherein the first interface file comprises the definition information.

Step two: and converting the first interface file into a json (JavaScript Object Notation) format to obtain a second interface file.

Because it is difficult to directly convert the js-formatted interface file into the xml-formatted interface file, before converting the format of the interface file from the js format into the xml format, the test terminal may first convert the format of the interface file from the js format into the json format, and then convert the json-formatted interface file into the xml-formatted interface file.

After determining the first interface file in the js format, the test terminal can convert the first interface file into a second interface file in the json format according to the apidoc-swagger technical protocol.

Step three: and converting the second interface file into an xml format to obtain a third interface file.

Step four: and analyzing the third interface file to obtain the definition information.

The third interface file in the xml format has the characteristics of strong readability, standard format and high compatibility, so that the definition information is acquired from the third interface file in the xml format more quickly and efficiently than the definition information acquired from the first interface file in the js format. By executing the step of converting the format of the interface file, the efficiency of testing the target interface by the test terminal can be improved.

202. And the test terminal determines the test input parameters of the target interface according to the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range of the target interface.

The specified parameter type and the specified parameter range are used to request the type and range of input parameters of the target interface, then if the target interface is operating normally, the target interface should return a correct response result when normal input parameters meeting the request are passed into the target interface. Therefore, normal input parameters can be transmitted to the target interface so as to judge whether the target interface can normally operate according to the returned response result.

On the other hand, if the target interface is functioning properly, the target interface should return an erroneous response result when other unsatisfactory input parameters are passed in to the target interface. Therefore, an abnormal input parameter can be transmitted to the target interface so as to judge whether the target interface can normally operate or not according to the returned response result.

Therefore, after the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range of the target interface are determined, the test terminal can determine a plurality of test input parameters which meet the requirements or do not meet the requirements for the interface, so as to more comprehensively and accurately test whether the target interface operates normally.

For the process of determining the test input parameters, the following steps one to four may be included:

step one, the test input parameter comprises a first test input parameter, and the first test input parameter is a parameter belonging to the specified parameter type and belonging to the specified parameter range: and the test terminal selects parameters belonging to the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range as test input parameters.

For example, for a median interface defining information as (numerical type, 0-10, median of input parameters), the test terminal may take 3 as the test input parameter.

Further, the test terminal may obtain a median value belonging to the specified parameter type in the specified parameter range, and determine the median value as the test input parameter.

Specifically, after the specified parameter range is obtained, the test terminal may determine a minimum boundary value and a maximum boundary value in the specified parameter range, and add the minimum boundary value and the maximum boundary value and divide by 2 to obtain a median of the specified parameter range. And then, the test terminal determines the type of the median, and when the type of the median is the specified parameter type, the median can be used as the median belonging to the specified parameter type. And when the type of the median is not the specified parameter type, performing type conversion on the median to convert the type of the median into the specified parameter type, thereby determining the median belonging to the specified parameter type.

For example, when the specified parameter range of the target interface is 0-100 and the specified parameter type is an integer type, the test terminal may determine that the specified parameter minimum value is 0 and the specified parameter maximum value is 100, determine that the specified parameter median value is 50, and take 50 as the test input parameter.

In practical application, when the test terminal transmits the test input parameters to the target interface, a "key-value" structure may be adopted to determine a data identifier for each test input parameter, where the data identifier is used as a key, the test input parameter is used as a value, and the data identifier may be a name of the test input parameter, a number assigned by the test terminal to the test input parameter, and the like.

And step two, the test terminal determines a second test input parameter according to the specified parameter type of the target interface, wherein the second test input parameter is a parameter which does not belong to the specified parameter type.

In order to test whether the target interface can return a response result including error prompt information when the input parameter with the type not meeting the requirement is transmitted to the target interface, the test terminal may obtain a first parameter belonging to the specified parameter type, convert the type of the first parameter to obtain a second parameter, and if the second parameter does not belong to the specified parameter type, the second parameter belongs to the second test input parameter, and the test terminal may determine the second parameter as the test input parameter.

In addition, the test terminal can directly randomly select any parameter from the specified parameter range to serve as a first parameter, and the type of the first parameter is converted to obtain a second parameter which does not belong to the specified parameter type. For example, the specified parameter range of the target interface is 0-100, the specified parameter type is an integer type, the test terminal may select 10, convert 10 into a floating point type to obtain 10.0, and use 10.0 as a test input parameter.

In addition, when the type of the first parameter cannot be converted, the test terminal can randomly select one parameter type different from the specified parameter type from the multiple parameter types, and randomly select a value belonging to the parameter type as a test input parameter. For example, when the specified parameter type is a numeric type, the test terminal may take "abc" belonging to a character string type as a test input parameter.

Consider the following scenario: the target interface is a registration interface which requires that the incoming normal user identifier cannot include special characters, and when the user wants to register a user identifier, an input operation is performed at the registration interface, and when the incoming user identifier includes special characters, the registration interface should return an error prompt message to prompt the user that the type of the user identifier input by the user is wrong, so that the user can input the normal user identifier with the type meeting the requirement again. Therefore, when the test terminal transmits the special characters to the registration interface, whether the registration interface operates normally can be determined according to whether the registration interface returns error prompt information.

And step three, the test terminal determines a third test input parameter according to the specified parameter range of the target interface, wherein the third test input parameter is a parameter which does not belong to the specified parameter range.

In order to test whether the target interface can return a response result including error prompt information when the input parameters of which the range is not satisfactory are transmitted to the target interface, the test terminal may determine a third test input parameter which does not belong to the specified parameter range according to the specified parameter range. For example, when the specified parameter range is 0-10, the test terminal may take 12 as the test input parameter.

In a possible implementation manner, the test terminal may determine a minimum boundary value of the specified parameter range and a maximum boundary value of the specified parameter range according to the specified parameter range, and respectively select the minimum boundary overflow value and the maximum boundary overflow value as the test input parameters. Wherein the minimum boundary overflow value refers to a value less than a minimum boundary value, and the maximum boundary overflow value refers to a value greater than the maximum boundary value. For example, the specified parameter ranges from 1 to 10, and the test terminal may use 0 and 11 as two test input parameters.

Consider the following scenario: the target interface is an age input interface which requires that the range of the normal age value should be between 0 and 130, and when the user wants to input his/her age value in the age input interface and the input value is 3000, the target interface should return an error prompt message to prompt the user that the input value range is incorrect, so that the user can input the age value belonging to the range of the normal age value again. Therefore, when the test terminal transmits a value 3000 to the age input interface, whether the age input interface operates normally can be determined according to whether the age input interface returns error prompt information.

And step four, the test terminal determines that the specified parameter types comprise the optional parameter types and determines a fourth test input parameter which is a null parameter.

The optional parameter type refers to a parameter that must be assigned.

When the specified parameter type of the target interface comprises a required parameter type, in order to test whether a response result comprising error prompt information can be returned by the target interface when the null parameter is transmitted to the target interface. After the specified parameter type is obtained by the test terminal, whether the specified parameter type comprises a necessary parameter type can be judged, and when the specified parameter type comprises the necessary parameter type, the null parameter is used as a fourth test input parameter.

In addition, if the data structure of the test input parameter adopted by the test terminal is a "key-value" structure, the test terminal can transmit the data identifier key of the test input parameter into the null parameter, so as to transmit the null parameter to the target interface.

Consider the following scenario: the target interface is a login interface for which the user password belongs to the requisite parameter type. That is, the login interface can only execute the login operation on the premise of acquiring the user password, and if the user password is not acquired, the login operation cannot be executed. Then, when the user triggers a login operation through the login interface, and wants to login based on the user identification without inputting the user password, the login interface should return, for example, "reminder: and if the user password cannot be null, the user is reminded to input the error prompt message of the user password, and the user is reminded to input the user password. Therefore, when the test terminal transmits the null parameter to the login interface, whether the login interface operates normally can be determined according to whether the login interface returns error prompt information.

Further, considering that in practical applications, the target interface may need to input a plurality of specified parameters at runtime, and determine a specified parameter type and a specified parameter range for each specified parameter in the definition information, when testing the target interface, a test input parameter combination is needed to be determined, and the test input parameter combination includes a plurality of test input parameters.

Then, when the definition information includes a plurality of specified parameter types and a plurality of specified parameter ranges corresponding to the specified parameter types of the target interface, the step 202 may further include the following steps 2021 and 2024:

2021. the test terminal takes the corresponding specified parameter types and specified parameter ranges as a group to obtain a plurality of groups.

Specifically, the test terminal may determine a plurality of input parameters of the target interface according to the definition information, determine the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range of each input parameter, respectively, and obtain a plurality of groups by using the specified parameter types and the specified parameter ranges corresponding to each other as a group, where the number of the groups is equal to the number of the plurality of input parameters.

2022. And the test terminal determines the alternative input parameters of each group according to the specified parameter type and the specified parameter range in each group.

Specifically, when determining the candidate input parameters for any one of the groups, the test terminal may determine four test input parameters, namely a first test input parameter, a second test input parameter, a third test input parameter, and a fourth test input parameter, for the group according to the type of the specified parameter and the range of the specified parameter in the group by using the above steps one to four, so as to obtain a plurality of candidate input parameters.

The plurality of candidate input parameters may be the same test input parameter, for example, the plurality of candidate input parameters may be all the first test input parameters, or may not be the same test input parameter, for example, the plurality of candidate input parameters may include the first test input parameter and the second test input parameter, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

2023. And the test terminal combines the alternative input parameters belonging to different groups to obtain various alternative parameter combinations.

After the test terminal determines the candidate input parameters for the groups respectively, one candidate input parameter can be randomly selected from each group, so that a plurality of candidate input parameters selected from different groups are combined to obtain a first candidate parameter combination. Thereafter, one candidate input parameter may be selected randomly from each group, and the candidate input parameters may be combined again to obtain a second candidate parameter combination, and so on to obtain a plurality of candidate parameter combinations.

2024. The test terminal selects a test input parameter combination from the multiple candidate parameter combinations, and determines each parameter in the test input parameter combination as a test input parameter.

After the test terminal obtains the multiple candidate parameter combinations, the multiple candidate parameter combinations can be analyzed according to a pair test algorithm, so that test input parameters are selected from the multiple candidate parameter combinations. In addition, the test terminal may also pass the plurality of alternative combinations into the test cluster tool, which may return a test input combination. The test combination tool may be a pict tool, an allpair tool, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the target interface may include three input parameters a, b, c, and the specified parameter type and specified parameter range for each input parameter may be as shown in table 2:

TABLE 2

Inputting parameters	a	b	c
				Specifying parameter types	Integer type, mandatory parameter type	Of the Boolean type	Type of floating point number
Specifying parameter ranges	1-10	true/false	2.0-4.0

The test terminal can take the integer type and 1-10 corresponding to the input parameter a as a first grouping, the Boolean type and true/false corresponding to the input parameter b as a second grouping, and the floating point type and 2.0-4.0 corresponding to the input parameter c as a third grouping.

Then the test terminal may determine the alternative input parameter {5, "china", 6, null } for the first packet, the alternative input parameter { true, false, 30, null } for the second packet, and the alternative input parameter {2.0, 10, a, "abc" } for the third packet. Selecting 5 from the candidate input parameters of the first group, selecting true from the second group, selecting 2.0 from the third group, (5, true, 2.0) as the first candidate parameter combination, then selecting 6 from the candidate input parameters of the first group, selecting true from the second group, selecting 2.0 from the third group, and selecting (6, true, 2.0) as the second candidate parameter combination.

Because the alternative input parameters of the second group and the third group selected from the first alternative parameter combination and the second alternative parameter combination are the same, only the alternative input parameters of the first group selected are different, and the alternative input parameters 5 and 6 of the first group both belong to the first test input parameter and are normal input parameters, the test purpose can be achieved by selecting any one of the two first test input parameters as the test input parameter, so that the two alternative parameter combinations have redundant parameter combinations, and if the redundant parameter combinations are tested, the test time is wasted. Therefore, any one alternative parameter combination can be selected from the two alternative parameter combinations for testing, so that the condition of testing redundant parameter combinations is avoided, the testing time is saved, and the testing workload is reduced.

203. The test terminal transmits the test input parameters to the target interface.

For example, when the target interface is operated at the server, the test terminal and the target interface may perform data transmission based on HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), that is, the test terminal may send an HTTP request to the target interface, where the HTTP request carries the test input parameters, so as to transmit the test input parameters to the target interface. The HTTP request may be a get request, a post request, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

204. The target interface operates based on the test input parameters and generates a test report.

The test report includes an actual response result of the target interface after the test input parameters are transmitted, and the test report is used for determining whether the target interface operates normally.

In addition, when the test terminal transmits different test input parameters to the target interface, the target interface can generate a test report corresponding to the test input parameters.

In a first possible implementation manner, when the test input parameter includes a first test input parameter, the test terminal determines a theoretical response result that should be obtained if the first test input parameter is transmitted to the target interface according to the function description information of the target interface in the definition information, determines that the target interface operates normally when an actual response result corresponding to the first test input parameter in the test report matches the theoretical response result, and determines that the target interface operates incorrectly when an actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report does not match the theoretical response result.

Based on the example of table 1, the specified parameter type of the target interface is a numerical value type, the specified parameter range is 0 to 10, the function description information is "find the median of the input parameter", when 8 is transmitted to the target interface, the theoretical response result is 4, but when the target interface runs based on 8, the actual response result corresponding to 8 in the test report is 2, and at this time, it is determined that the target interface runs incorrectly.

In a second possible implementation manner, when the test input parameter includes a second test input parameter, the test terminal determines whether an actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report includes error prompt information, determines that the target interface operates normally when the actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report includes the error prompt information, and determines that the target interface operates incorrectly when the actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report does not include the error prompt information.

Based on the example of table 1, the specified parameter type of the target interface is a numeric type, after "abc" belonging to a character string type is transmitted to the target interface, after the target interface operates based on "abc", an actual response result of the test report corresponding to "abc" includes error prompt information of "input parameter type is incorrect", and at this time, it may be determined that the target interface operates normally.

In a third possible implementation manner, when the test input parameter includes a third test input parameter, the test terminal determines whether an actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report includes error prompt information, determines that the target interface operates normally when the actual response result corresponding to the third test input parameter in the test report includes the error prompt information, and determines that the target interface operates incorrectly when the actual response result corresponding to the third test input parameter in the test report does not include the error prompt information.

Based on the example in table 1, the specified parameter range of the target interface is 0 to 10, after 11 is transmitted to the target interface, and after the target interface operates based on 11, the actual response result of the test report corresponding to 11 includes the error prompt information of "input parameter range is incorrect", and at this time, it may be determined that the target interface operates normally.

In a fourth possible implementation manner, when the test input parameter includes a fourth test input parameter, the test terminal determines whether an actual response result corresponding to the second test input parameter in the test report includes error prompt information, determines that the target interface operates normally when the actual response result corresponding to the fourth test input parameter in the test report includes the error prompt information, and determines that the target interface operates incorrectly when the actual response result corresponding to the fourth test input parameter in the test report does not include the error prompt information.

The input parameter a of the target interface belongs to a necessary parameter type, the test terminal takes an empty parameter as a test input parameter a, and transmits the empty parameter to the target interface, so that after the target interface operates based on the empty parameter, a response result corresponding to the empty parameter in the test report includes error prompt information that the input parameter a cannot be empty, and at this time, the target interface can be determined to operate normally.

Furthermore, the format of the first interface file is converted from the js format to the xml format, so that the definition information can be conveniently acquired from the first interface file, and the testing efficiency is improved.

Furthermore, a test input parameter combination is selected from multiple candidate parameter combinations through an all-pairs algorithm, so that the condition of testing redundant parameter combinations is avoided, the test time is saved, and the test workload is reduced.
