Detailed Description
Aiming at the problems of great waste of human resources and great reduction of test efficiency in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides a multi-AP test method, which is applied to a test terminal, wherein the test terminal establishes communication connection with each AP in a multi-AP scene, a technician can acquire login modes of each AP in advance, then the login modes of the APs are stored in a device list, and communication connection is established with corresponding APs based on the login modes of the APs, wherein the login modes can be, but are not limited to, telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). The current networking modes of the wireless network mainly comprise two modes: a thin AP architecture comprising an AP and a wireless controller (Access Controller, AC), all APs being uniformly controlled by the AC; another is a fat AP architecture, comprising only APs. The device list is constructed in the same manner in the two ways, and the device list in the first case is described below as an example, and table 1 is as follows:
Figure BDA0002135142260000041
Figure BDA0002135142260000051
TABLE 1
The flow of the multi-AP test method is shown in FIG. 1, and the execution steps are as follows:
s11: and acquiring the script to be executed from the script set.
In a multi-AP scenario, multiple scripts may need to be executed to perform the test, where the scripts may form a script set, and when the test is required, the scripts may be obtained from the script set, and the obtained scripts may be defined as the scripts to be executed.
S12: and determining at least one AP to be tested corresponding to the script to be executed according to the AP function table of each AP.
An AP function table may be established in advance based on each AP, and the AP identifier and the supported function name of each AP are stored, and since each AP is not required to execute each script, when testing for multiple APs is required, at least one AP corresponding to the script to be executed may be determined according to the AP function table, and the determined AP may be defined as at least one AP to be tested.
S13: and sending the instruction corresponding to the script to be executed to at least one AP to be tested, so that the at least one AP to be tested executes the instruction and returns an execution result.
The instructions corresponding to the script to be executed may be sent to at least one AP to be tested at the same time, or may be sent to at least one AP to be tested one by one, where the instructions corresponding to the script to be executed may include a plurality of instructions. In two networking modes of the wireless network, if the wireless network is a thin AP architecture, an instruction corresponding to the execution script can be sent to the AC, and then the AC forwards the instruction to the AP to be tested; if the AP architecture is fat, the instruction can be directly sent to the AP to be tested. At least one AP to be tested that receives these instructions may execute the received instructions and then return the execution results.
S14: and receiving an execution result returned by at least one AP to be tested.
S11-S14 may be performed for each script in the set of scripts until all scripts have been executed, so that the test may be ended.
According to the scheme, each AP in the multi-AP scene can be automatically tested, manual participation in script selection is not needed, so that human resources can be greatly saved, and the testing efficiency is greatly improved.
Specifically, in S11, the obtaining a script to be executed from the script set includes:
determining whether unexecuted scripts exist in the script set;
if the fact that the script set contains unexecuted scripts is determined, selecting one script from the unexecuted scripts as a script to be executed.
The scripts in the script set may have been executed, and some are not executed, and each time the script to be executed is obtained from the script set, one script needs to be selected from the unexecuted scripts to be used as the script to be executed. In order to facilitate distinguishing whether the script is executed, an execution identifier may be added to the executed script in the script set, and each time the script to be executed is obtained from the script set, the script that does not carry the execution identifier may be obtained as the script to be executed. Sometimes, there may be multiple scripts without carrying an execution identifier, and at this time, one script may be selected randomly as a script to be executed, or one script may be selected sequentially as a script to be executed.
In an alternative implementation manner, if it is determined that no unexecuted script exists in the script set, a test report corresponding to each AP is generated according to the received execution result. At this time, it is explained that all scripts in the script set have been executed, a test report may be generated according to the received execution result, and for convenience of reading, the execution results of the same AP may be put together, so that a technician may perform subsequent tasks such as test analysis.
Specifically, in S12, at least one AP to be tested corresponding to the script to be executed is determined according to the AP function table of each AP, as shown in fig. 2, and the implementation process specifically includes:
s121: and determining the names of the functions supported by the script to be executed.
The script to be executed may support only a few functions, and the names of the functions supported by the script to be executed may be described in the script to be executed, and when determining at least one AP to be tested corresponding to the script to be executed, the names of the functions supported by the script to be executed may be determined first.
S122: and searching an AP identification corresponding to the function name supported by the script to be executed from the AP function table.
Because the function names supported by the APs are recorded in the AP function table, the AP identity identical to the function name supported by the script to be executed can be searched based on the AP function table.
S123: and determining at least one AP corresponding to the searched at least one AP identifier as the AP to be tested.
There may be one or more AP identities found through S123, and the AP corresponding to these AP identities may be defined as the AP to be tested.
An alternative embodiment describes a process of establishing an AP function table, and a process of establishing an AP function table is described below by taking two kinds of networking of a wireless network as examples.
First, in fat AP architecture:
and respectively acquiring the AP identifications and the supported function names of the APs, and adding the AP identifications and the supported function names of the APs into an AP function table.
Second, in the thin AP architecture:
and the AC connected with each AP acquires the AP identification and the supported function name of each AP, and adds the AP identification and the supported function name of each AP into an AP function table.
In the thin AP architecture, each AP is managed by the AC, so each AP may report the supported function names to the AC, and the test terminal may directly obtain the AP identifier and the supported function name of each AP from the AC and add the AP identifier and the supported function name to the AP function table. It should be noted that each AP may be connected to one AC, or may be connected to a plurality of ACs.
In the two ways above, each AP may store the supported function names in the form of a table, and an exemplary table is shown in table 2 below, where a function value of 1 indicates that the function is supported, and a function value of 0 indicates that the function is not supported.
Function name avn Function value avr
func1_support 1
func2_support 1
func3_support 0
func4_support 0
TABLE 2
The AP function table may store function names supported by each AP, where the AP identifier may include, but is not limited to, two parts including a PID and a model, and may be set according to actual needs, and table 3 is an exemplary AP function table, which is described below by taking two parts including a PID and a model as an example.
