Currently, Robot Framework is a generic Test automation Framework for Acceptance testing and Acceptance Test Drive Development (ATDD). It has an easy-to-use table test data syntax and uses a keyword-driven test method. Its test functionality can be extended by using a Python or Java implemented test library, and the user can create new higher level keywords from existing keywords using the same syntax as creating test cases. RIDE is a graphical interface for Robot Framework written using the wxPython library. The method provides possibility for visual writing of the automatic use case. The test kit Run region comprises a test kit Edit region, a test kit Text Edit region, a test kit Run region, a test case Edit region, a test case Text Edit region and a test case Run region. In the aspect of writing, the method allows the user-defined external keywords to be used and provides a keyword query function.

But both have the following disadvantages in terms of keyword usage: only provides the built-in keyword and the keyword query function packaged by the user in the external member, but does not support the external keyword query function defined by the user; the user can not automatically fill the keyword after inquiring the keyword, so that the testing efficiency is influenced.

One embodiment of the invention relates to a method of operating a test tool. The specific flow is shown in figure 1.

Step 101, acquiring a parameter to be retrieved;

102, displaying a first window according to the parameter to be retrieved, wherein the first window is used for displaying keywords acquired according to the parameter to be retrieved, and the keywords are not less than one group;

103, determining target keywords from the keywords displayed in the first window;

and step 104, automatically filling the keyword information of the target keyword to a preset position.

In the embodiment, the method supports the use of a test tool, queries keywords according to the retrieval parameters for display, determines target keywords in the displayed keywords, and then automatically fills the keyword information of the target keywords; the user does not need to manually input the keyword parameters, unnecessary repeated work is reduced, the testing efficiency of the testing tool is improved, and the user experience is optimized.

The following is a detailed description of the implementation details of the operation method of the test tool of the present embodiment, and the following is only provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for implementing the present embodiment.

In step 101, a parameter to be retrieved is obtained. The parameter to be retrieved is related to the content of the keyword that needs to be tested by the testing tool, for example, the parameter to be retrieved is a part of the target keyword that needs to be tested by the testing tool, that is, the complete state of the target keyword does not need to be obtained here.

In one example, obtaining the parameter to be retrieved includes: determining parameters to be retrieved in the input parameters; under the condition that a query identifier appears in input parameters, the parameters between the query identifier and preset characters are parameters to be retrieved, and the preset characters comprise spaces; the input parameters are external input data received by the testing tool. That is, the parameter to be retrieved may be determined in the received external input data according to a query identifier, such as "", and a preset character. It can be understood that when other display data exist in the input interface to be retrieved, a blank space is needed as a preset character, the parameter to be retrieved at this time is separated from the other display data, and recognition errors of external input data are avoided, and the blank space can be replaced by other character strings which can realize the same meaning; when the input interface to be retrieved has no other data, that is, the input is the first input, the preset character may be a character string for identifying the beginning of the interface data because the interface has no interference.

Specifically, when the input interface to be retrieved is input for the first time, the input parameter before "." (query identifier) may be taken as the parameter to be retrieved; when the input is not the first time, the input parameter between the last "." (query identification) and the last space (preset character) can be taken as the parameter to be retrieved.

In one example, before obtaining the parameter to be retrieved, the method includes: providing an input interface according to the instruction, wherein the input interface is used for receiving the self-defined parameters; and updating the database according to the user-defined parameters, wherein the updated database is used for the test tool to realize keyword retrieval. For example, the instruction may be that the user clicks a preset area or a preset identifier, and an input interface pops up after the user clicks; the self-defined parameters are related to the external keywords self-defined by the user and can be directly external keywords.

In one example, the parameters are customized, including: file path and name of external keywords; updating the database according to the custom parameters, comprising: acquiring the external keywords and a parameter list corresponding to the external keywords according to the file paths and the names of the external keywords; and adding the external keywords and the parameter list corresponding to the external keywords into the database for finishing updating of the database. That is, in the present embodiment, the external keywords and the parameter list corresponding to the external keywords are input to the database, so that the parameter content of the database is greatly expanded, and the test function of the test tool is ensured. Specifically, the name and the file path of the self-defined external keyword are input in the interface for receiving the input, and the specific external keyword and the corresponding parameter list thereof can be inquired according to the name and the file path, so that the database can be imported and updated.

In one example, after obtaining the external keyword and the parameter list corresponding to the external keyword according to the file path and the name of the external keyword, the method further includes: storing the external keywords and the parameter lists corresponding to the external keywords as map structures; the name of the external keyword and the file name of the external keyword are used as keys of the map structure, and the parameter list corresponding to the external keyword is used as the value of the map structure to be stored. That is, in addition to storing the acquired external keywords, that is, the parameter lists corresponding to the external keywords, in the database for querying, the information can also be stored as a map query structure, and the efficiency of keyword querying can be improved. Specifically, a database-based query process generally stores part of the contents of a database in an operating memory of a program, and if the contents are not found in the operating memory, the contents are searched in the database; however, in this embodiment, the data to be queried is stored as a map structure, and the keyword or the parameter list corresponding to the keyword can be directly searched for in the running memory of the program through the map structure, so that further query in the database is not required, and the query efficiency of the map structure is high.

In one example, the parameters to be retrieved include: the file name of the file where the target keyword is located. That is, only the file name of the file where the target keyword is located can be obtained, and the test tool associates the target keyword through the file name; the memory or input workload of the user is reduced to the greatest extent, and the user experience is improved.

In step 102, a first window is displayed according to the parameter to be retrieved, the first window is used for displaying keywords obtained according to the parameter to be retrieved, and the keywords are not less than one group. After the parameter to be retrieved is obtained, the test tool can obtain a first window through association, and keyword information obtained through the parameter to be retrieved is displayed in the first window, for example, the keyword information comprises a keyword and a parameter list corresponding to the keyword; and at least one group of keywords and the corresponding parameter list are displayed.

In one example, displaying a first window according to a parameter to be retrieved includes: acquiring at least one group of keywords from a database of a test tool according to the parameters to be retrieved; and displaying the first window according to the keywords. The keywords in the first window are obtained by querying the database of the test tool through the parameters to be retrieved, and a plurality of groups of keywords related to the parameters to be retrieved can be obtained for fuzzy query association and displayed on the first window so that a user can select and determine the keywords, and the input workload of the user is reduced. Especially, when the target keyword is a user-defined keyword, the database in the embodiment may be a database obtained after updating according to an external keyword and a parameter list, so that personalized requirements of the user can be met, and user experience is improved.

In a specific implementation, initialization is performed when a user opens a use case, and a keyword and parameter list corresponding to Library in the use case is stored in a database in the initialization process. As shown in fig. 2.

In step 103, determining a target keyword from the keywords displayed in the first window; that is, the determination of the target keyword may be assisted according to the content displayed in the first window. For example, the display content of the first window may be: the method comprises the following steps of (1) obtaining a keyword name, a keyword function, a parameter list corresponding to the keyword and a file name of the keyword; the keyword function can be a text summary, the file name of the keyword is used for identifying the actual storage position of the keyword, and as the same-name keyword is allowed to exist, but the meanings of the same-name keyword stored in different files are different, the target keyword can be selected by adopting the file name under the condition that the target keyword cannot be selected from the same-name keyword through the keyword function summary.

In step 104, the keyword information of the target keyword is automatically filled to a preset position. That is, fuzzy query is performed on the parameters to be retrieved, and finally the confirmed target keyword is selected and filled to a preset position, wherein a parameter list corresponding to the target keyword or a part of parameters in the parameter list can be filled. For example, if the parameter to be retrieved is part of the content of the target keyword, the parameter can be directly filled, and the original input content can be supplemented and perfected.

In one example, the predetermined location is located after the query identifier of the parameter to be retrieved. That is, after the queried target keyword and part or all of the parameters corresponding to the target keyword are filled to the ". multidot." as the query identifier, the interface is simpler and more neat under the condition that the parameter to be retrieved is the file name of the target keyword, and the format is fixed, so that the test tool can conveniently identify the parameter.

As shown in fig. 3, in a specific implementation, a user inputs testfile in an Edit area of a test case (testfile is a file name corresponding to a target keyword), a system pops up all keyword names and parameter lists in the file for the user to select, after the user selects the corresponding keyword, ". the target keyword name is automatically filled in, and after the target keyword name is automatically filled in the next several display units, the corresponding parameter list is automatically filled in.

In one example, in a case where a target keyword is determined from keywords displayed in the first window, the first window is closed. That is, after the keyword selection is completed, the keyword information found by the fuzzy query is closed and displayed, so that the user can conveniently observe and determine the keyword information, and a test tool can conveniently identify the keyword information. The closing instruction of the first window may be a selection operation of the user on the target keyword, for example, after the user clicks the target keyword, the first window is closed. In addition, the user may also select content in a parameter list corresponding to the target keyword, the parameter list is also displayed in the first window, and when the user selects a certain parameter in the parameter list, the final filling content may be the target keyword and the parameter, and the complete parameter list is not filled. It is understood that the selection of parameters is also allowed to be equivalent to the selection of target keywords, that is, after a certain parameter is selected, the target keyword and the complete parameter list are finally filled, and the selection process supports relevant setting based on actual requirements.

In a specific implementation, sqlite is used as a database to store keyword information, the database comprises two tables, one table is a library table field which is respectively id, argumes and last _ updated, wherein the value of id is the path of a file where an external keyword is located, such as c: \ Automation \ testfile. The other is a keywords table, the table fields are respectively name, doc, entries, library _ name and library, wherein the name stores a keyword name, the doc stores an explanation description of a keyword function, the entry stores a parameter list required by the keyword, the library _ name stores a file name where the keyword is located, and the library is a file stored by the keyword.

In the embodiment, only when the case catalog is opened for initialization, the case Settings part is acquired for receiving external input; the method comprises the steps of obtaining a py file after Library, analyzing the py file, taking a py file name (namely the file name of the file where the external keyword is located) and the name of the external keyword as keys of a map, and storing a parameter list as a value, wherein the parameter list can also be written into a database table key.

In the query process of the target keyword, a judgment process exists, if a user inputs ". multidot.A popup box pops up, the content source of the popup box is that the value before the point input by the user, such as testfile, is used as the value of the library _ name field of the keyword database table to query the database, the name of the first column of the data table (for keywords) is used as the value of the first column of the popup box, the value of the third column of the data table is used as the value of the second column of the popup box, and the value of the doc of the second column of the data table is used as the value of the third column of the popup box; the value of library _ name in the fourth column of the data table may also be used as the value in the fourth column of the popup box. When the user clicks a certain keyword in the first column of the popup box, the popup box disappears, and the system automatically fills the keyword selected by the user.

That is, when a user inputs testfile in the testcase Edit area and returns according to the test case Edit area (testfile is the file name of the self-defined keyword), the system pops up a popup box, the popup box is displayed in a table form, the first column is the keyword name in the testfile, the second column is the parameter name required by the keyword, the parameters are separated from each other by | and the third column is the function description of the keyword; the fourth row is the file name of the file where the keyword is located. After the user clicks the desired keyword name, the popup box disappears, and the system automatically fills the keyword selected by the user.

In one example, clicking Library in the test case Settings area of the robotframe-ride, inputting the file path and name of the external custom keyword such as testfile. Inputting testfile in the Edit area of the test case, pressing enter, and popping up keyword names and parameter lists of all methods in the testfile at the moment; clicking the name of the selected target keyword, and enabling the popup box to disappear; the system returns to the Edit area, and can see testfile, the keyword method is automatically filled in the next part, and corresponding default parameter names are also filled in the next grids; the parameters can also be adjusted according to the user requirements, for example, the corresponding parameter names are modified to be actual parameter names.

In the use of the test tool, the support queries and displays keywords according to the retrieval parameters, determines target keywords in the displayed keywords and further automatically fills the keyword information of the target keywords; the user does not need to manually input the keyword parameters, unnecessary repeated work is reduced, the testing efficiency of the testing tool is improved, and the user experience is optimized. For the keywords imported from the outside, the user can realize quick filling only by inputting the file name without manually searching, and the efficiency of writing the script is improved.
