All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Before describing embodiments of the present invention, the following terms are explained:
UI (user interface): namely User Interface, refers to the overall design of man-machine interaction, operation logic and beautiful Interface of software. This is particularly the user interface of the software system.
UI automated testing: and replacing the manual operation user interface with codes, thereby discovering the bugs and problems of the system program and completing the test of the user interface.
selenium: the automatic UI testing tool is a tool for automatic UI testing of Web application programs, directly runs in a Web browser, and simulates a human operation user interface to realize automatic UI testing.
Element positioning: in the UI automation test, a user interface consists of a plurality of element objects, the process of searching elements by using attributes of the element objects such as name, label, value, xpath and the like as positioning information is element positioning, and subsequent automation test operations such as inputting, clicking and the like can be carried out on the elements after the elements are positioned.
Explicitly waiting: and executing element judgment at intervals (for example, the element is generally defaulted to 0.5 second and can also be defined by a user), for example, judging whether the element exists or not, clicking or not, executing the next step if the judgment condition is met, otherwise, continuing to wait until the set maximum waiting time is exceeded, and throwing the exception of the TimeOutException. The WebDriverWait module of selenium implements explicit waiting.
Judging static elements: the element judgment method does not perform any operation on the page elements, and only judges whether the elements meet the judgment conditions. The sequenced _ conditions module of the Selenium implements a series of static element judgment methods.
The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the invention:
in one aspect, as shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an explicit waiting method for a UI element of a user interface, including:
step S100, acquiring positioning information of a first element on a user interface;
step S101, circularly executing specific operation and detecting the state of the first element according to the positioning information of the first element, and quitting the circulation until the state of the first element is updated to a specified target state or the total execution time of the circulation is more than or equal to a specified total timeout time;
wherein the specific operation is to make a specified condition hold; the specified condition is a condition for updating the state of the first element to the specified target state.
In some embodiments, the input location information of the first element is obtained, and the corresponding element may be located in the user interface through the location information, and specifically, the attribute of the first element may be specified to include, but is not limited to, attributes such as name, label, value, XPath, XML path, and the like as the location information. Specific operations may include, but are not limited to, mouse clicks, refreshing pages, text modifications, property settings for other elements, and the like; for example, a mouse click may be a click on a specified element, such as a click on a first element, or a click on other elements on the page. The specified target state is a state that a certain attribute of the first element should become when the specified condition is satisfied; the specified condition is a result of successful execution of a specific operation, for example, element X (corresponding to the first element) is displayed on the user interface on the premise that the page is refreshed; the specific operation is a refresh page operation, the specified condition is that the page has been refreshed, the specified target state is that the visibility of element X is updated to be visible, and is displayed on the user interface. An explicit wait is performed, and in each loop of the explicit wait, the state of the first element, i.e., one or more of the various attributes the first element has, including, but not limited to, the state of visibility, whether selected, whether input occurred, etc., is detected. And particularly, specific operation is executed in each cycle to ensure that the specified condition which causes the first element state to be updated to the specified target state is established, so that the probability of displaying the test case waiting for successfully completing the test is obviously improved, and the anti-interference capability of the test case for accidental interference factors is improved. For example, in each cycle, an operation of refreshing the page (corresponding to a specific operation) is performed, and whether a specified presentation text (corresponding to the first element) appears (whether the state of the first element is updated to a specified target state) is checked, and then a specified condition is satisfied when the page is refreshed as a result of the specific operation. The particular operation may be an operation implemented by code to simulate, including but not limited to, a mouse click, text entry, page refresh, and/or state setting for an element; by inputting the positioning information of different first elements into the overall process formed by steps S100 to S101, the same overall process can be used to test for different first elements. For example, the method steps in the technical solution of the present invention may be packaged as a function, and a first element externally input is received in a function parameter, so as to parameterize the first element, so as to apply a process to a plurality of test cases. Besides the first element, other input elements, specific operations and other parameters involved in the technical solution of the present invention may also be input externally in a parameterized form.
The embodiment of the invention has the following technical effects: by inputting different first elements into the overall process formed by the steps S100 to S101, the same overall process can be used for testing different first elements, so that the same testing method can be repeatedly reused in a plurality of test cases without repeatedly encoding each test case, the testing efficiency is improved, and the error rate of testing operation is reduced; further, in the loop of the explicit waiting, by executing a specific operation in each loop, a condition causing the state of the first element to be updated to a specified target state is prompted to occur, so that the problem that only the state of the first element is statically waited to be updated in the loop of the explicit waiting and is easily interfered by a test environment is avoided, and the test passing rate is obviously improved; the technical scheme of the invention is applied to the automatic test verification statistics of the UI of the web end, and the test passing rate is improved by 50 percent compared with the prior art.
Further, the loop executes a specific operation and detects the state of the first element according to the positioning information of the first element, and exits the loop until the state of the first element is updated to a specified target state or the total execution time of the loop is greater than or equal to a specified total timeout time, including:
according to the specified total timeout time and the specified time interval, circularly executing the following steps:
judging whether the total execution time of the circulation is more than or equal to the specified total timeout time, if so, returning to failure and exiting the circulation; if not, then,
judging whether the state of the first element is updated to the specified target state or not according to the positioning information of the first element, if so, returning to be successful and exiting from the cycle;
executing the specific operation and waiting for the delay of the specified time interval;
returning to the step of judging whether the total execution time of the circulation is more than or equal to the specified total timeout time or not, and starting the next circulation;
wherein the specified time interval is less than the specified total timeout time.
In some embodiments, a total timeout time is specified for controlling the explicit wait total execution time; and the specified time interval is used for controlling the frequency of the loop, periodically detecting whether the state of the first element is updated to a specified target state, if the state is updated to the specified state, exiting the loop to continuously execute other test cases, and if the state is not updated to the specified state, continuously waiting in the loop. Particularly, in the embodiment of the present invention, a step of executing a specific operation is added in a loop, so that a specified condition can be triggered again in each loop, and a condition for updating the state of the first element to a specified target state is satisfied, thereby promoting a probability of successfully completing a test for a test case of the first element. In each cycle, if the state of the first element is not updated to the specified target state, a specific operation is performed and the state of the first element is re-detected in the next cycle after a specified time interval. In some embodiments, the relative order between the 2 nd step in the loop (i.e., determining whether the state of the first element is updated to the specified target state based on the positioning information of the first element, and if so, returning to success and exiting the loop) and the 3 rd step in the loop (i.e., performing the specified operation and waiting for a delay of the specified time interval) may be exchanged, for example, the 2 nd step may be performed first and then the 3 rd step may be performed, or the 3 rd step may be performed first and then the 2 nd step may be performed.
Further, in some embodiments, before step S101, a specific operation may also be performed in advance, so that after entering the loop, the state of the first element may be detected once first.
The embodiment of the invention has the following technical effects: in the loop of the explicit waiting, a condition causing the state of the first element to be updated to a specified target state is prompted to occur by executing a specific operation in each loop, so that the problem that only the state of the first element is statically waited to be updated in the explicit waiting and is easily interfered by a test environment is avoided, and the test passing rate is remarkably improved. Furthermore, after the specific operation is executed, the state of the first element is detected after a specified time interval is delayed, and a certain time is reserved for updating the state of the first element after the specific operation, so that the probability of successfully completing the test of the test case is further improved.
Further, while the positioning information of the first element on the user interface is obtained, the positioning information of the second element on the user interface is also obtained;
wherein the specific operation is to operate the second element according to the positioning information of the second element to make the specified condition.
In some embodiments, the whole process from step S100 to step S101 may input the positioning information of the first element and also input the positioning information of the second element, and the condition that the second element is acted on by a specific operation to cause the state of the first element to change is satisfied. For example, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the interest keyword selection button is used as the second element, the search keyword input box in fig. 3 is used as the first element, and the specific operation is to select the interest keyword button by clicking the interest keyword selection button; when the page is in the display state of fig. 2 and a click on the interest keyword button occurs to cause the interest keyword to be selected, the page is updated to the case shown in fig. 3, and the search keyword input box as the first element is displayed in the page. XPath values of the first element and the second element may be input in step S100, and the first element and the second element may be located by the XPath values, and if the first element or the second element is not located, it indicates that the first element or the second element is not displayed on the page. Judging whether the first element is displayed in each cycle of explicit waiting, if so, exiting the explicit waiting successfully, if not, executing specific operation to enable the display condition of the first element to be met, after waiting for a specified time interval, entering the next cycle, and detecting whether the first element is displayed again; the loop continues multiple times until the first element shows or fails to exit until the explicitly waiting execution time reaches a specified total timeout time.
The embodiment of the invention has the following technical effects: the UI general test method is determined by specific operation of the second element according to the state change of the first element, only the first element and the second element need to be input into the method in each test case, the purpose of code multiplexing is achieved, repeated coding is reduced, and the efficiency of preparing the test cases is improved. Meanwhile, in the loop of the explicit waiting, a condition causing the state of the first element to be updated to a specified target state is prompted to appear by executing a specific operation in each loop, so that the problem that the state of the first element is only statically waiting to be updated in the explicit waiting and is easily interfered by a test environment is avoided, and the test passing rate is obviously improved.
Further, before the performing the specific operation and waiting for the delay of the specified time interval, the method further includes:
determining whether an execution condition for executing the specific operation for the second element is satisfied;
if the execution condition is met, continuing to execute the specific operation and waiting for the delay of the specified time interval;
if the execution condition is not satisfied, returning to the step of executing whether the total execution time of the judgment loop is more than or equal to the specified total timeout time, and starting the next loop.
In some embodiments, when a specific operation is performed on a second element, it is first determined whether the second element meets a condition for performing the specific operation, so as to avoid a failure that a test returns an unknown reason due to the second element not being prepared.
The embodiment of the invention has the following technical effects: by judging whether the condition of executing the specific operation on the second element is met or not, the success rate of testing the first element is further improved, and the error reason can be accurately and quickly determined when the first element fails.
Further, the determining whether the execution condition for executing the specific operation on the second element is satisfied specifically includes:
and judging whether the second element exists and whether the second element can be executed with the specific operation, wherein if the second element exists and the second element can be executed with the specific operation, the execution condition is met, and if not, the execution condition is not met.
In some embodiments, preferably, the condition that the second element performs the specific operation includes, but is not limited to, that the second element exists and the second element can be performed the specific operation, for example, in fig. 2, the second element is an interest keyword selection button, and the condition that the second element performs the specific operation is that the interest keyword selection button has been correctly displayed on the page, i.e., can be positioned to the interest keyword selection button by an XPath value of the interest keyword selection button, and the interest keyword selection button is clickable, such as the interest keyword selection button cannot be in an invalid state, e.g., gray, which means that the button does not currently receive a click operation.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the interest keyword selection button is used as the second element, the search keyword input box in fig. 3 is used as the first element, and the specific operation is to select the interest keyword button by clicking the interest keyword selection button; when the page is in the display state of fig. 2, and a click on the interest keyword button occurs to cause the interest keyword to be selected, the page is updated to the display state of fig. 3, and the search keyword input box as the first element is displayed in the page, that is, the designated target state of the search keyword input box as the first element is displayed in the page.
A flowchart shown in fig. 4 illustrates a test procedure implemented in the present embodiment for searching a UI element for a keyword input box. Element a represents the "interest keyword" radio button in fig. 2 and 3, i.e., the second element, and element b represents the "search keyword" input box in fig. 3, i.e., the first element;
example scenario description: clicking on element a in the UI page shown in fig. 2 triggers the UI page to reveal element b as in fig. 3, which can continue to be operated on (e.g., enter keywords) by explicitly waiting to determine that element b is indeed already being presented on the page.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
step S400, running a UI automation program to a UI interface displayed in the figure 2, and clicking an element a; the automation program enters an explicit wait, which introduces two parameters: timeout time timeout (i.e., specified total timeout time) and interval frequency (i.e., specified interval).
Step S401, the program judges whether to enter explicit waiting, judges whether the total consumed time is larger than timeout (namely, the total timeout time is appointed), if yes, throws out the TimeOutException exception, and exits after the explicit waiting fails; otherwise, entering the next step of dynamic judgment; the automation program enters dynamic judgment, and 2 parameters are introduced: XPath _ a (element a, i.e., XPath path of the second element, i.e., location information of the second element) and XPath _ b (element b, i.e., XPath path of the first element, i.e., location information of the first element).
Step S402, element b is positioned through xpath _ b, if the element b is positioned to be dynamically judged to return to True, the element b explicitly waits for the successful exit; otherwise, executing the next step.
Step S403, positioning the element a by using xpath _ a, and if the element a is successfully positioned, executing the next step; otherwise, the dynamic judgment returns false, and the next explicit waiting loop is entered.
Step S404, judging whether the element a is in a clickable state, if not, executing step S407 to dynamically judge and return to false; otherwise, step S405 is performed.
Step S405, if element a is clickable, click element a (i.e., perform a specific operation), and perform step 406;
step S406, waiting for a frequency time period (i.e. waiting for a specified time interval), executing step S407, and dynamically determining to return to false;
in step S407, the dynamic determination returns to false, and then the next explicit wait loop is entered (step S401).
The embodiment of the invention has the following technical effects: by judging whether the condition of executing the specific operation on the second element is met or not, the success rate of testing the first element is further improved, and the error reason can be accurately and quickly determined when the first element fails.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for explicitly waiting for a UI element of a user interface, including:
an element obtaining unit 500, configured to obtain positioning information of a first element on a user interface;
an explicit waiting unit 501, configured to execute a specific operation in a loop and detect a state of the first element according to the positioning information of the first element, and exit the loop until the state of the first element is updated to a specified target state or a total execution time of the loop is greater than or equal to a specified total timeout time;
wherein the specific operation is to make a specified condition hold; the specified condition is a condition for updating the state of the first element to the specified target state.
