Example 1

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for testing a functional block according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method including the steps of:

step S101, starting a test task of a target function block;

step S102, responding to the test task, and acquiring a test case set corresponding to a target function block;

and step S103, executing each test case in the test case set to obtain a test result.

In the above example, the test of the target function block can be completed quickly by establishing the test case set including the test case for the target function block, and by the above scheme, the technical problem that the function block in the configuration system cannot be tested quickly in the prior art is solved, and the technical effect of quickly testing the graphical configuration system based on the function block is achieved.

Specifically, in order to avoid missing test, when each test case in the test case set is executed to obtain a test result, the arrangement sequence of each test case in the test case set can be obtained; and sequentially executing each test case in the test case set according to the arrangement sequence to obtain a test result. For example, there are 5 test cases in the test case set, and that may set a number for each: number 1, number 2, number 3, number 4 and number 5, and then, test is performed one by one according to the numbering sequence to avoid missing test.

For the formation of the test case set, the test case set may be formed in a manner of a visual interface, for example, before the test case set corresponding to the target function block is obtained, a visual generation interface of the test case may be provided; receiving input components and/or output components clicked on the visualization generation interface; and taking the clicked input component and/or output component as a test case.

Wherein, the input component comprises: input events and input variables, output components including: output events and output variables, one function block corresponding to multiple input components and/or output components. For example, an input/output column may be provided in the visualization interface, and in each input/output column, a combo box listing the inputs/outputs that may be selected, and the user may select directly from the combo box.

In order to realize the visual display of the test result and facilitate the visual learning of the test result, after each test case in the test case set is executed to obtain the test result, the test result can be displayed through a multiplexing user interactive interface.

When testing, the test can be performed through a test stub, wherein the test stub is a module used for receiving test case data, executing test case business logic and returning test data. Based on this, executing each test case in the test case set, and obtaining a test result may include: transmitting the data of the current test case to the test stub; receiving test data returned by the test pile; and comparing the consistency of the test data with the expected data of the current test case to obtain a test result.

For example, the target function block performs addition of two numbers, and the current test case a is a case where the test function block has only one addend (for example, the value is 1), the test data returned after the test stub executes is 1, and if the expected value in the description of the test case a is 1, it indicates that the test data is equal to the expected value, and therefore it may be determined that the test passes, otherwise, the test fails.

The test case set can be updated in real time, and can be updated according to requirements and actual conditions, so that the updating operation of the test case set corresponding to the target function block can be received; responding to the updating operation, and updating the test case set corresponding to the target function block; wherein the update operation may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: adding test cases, deleting test cases and editing test cases.

Example 2

The above method is described below with reference to a specific embodiment, however, it should be noted that the specific embodiment is only for better describing the present application and is not to be construed as a limitation of the present application.

In this example, the test efficiency is improved by providing the function of the automatic test of the function block in the graphical configuration system based on the function block, and the test is executed in a test case set manner, so that the test consistency and repeatability of the function block can be ensured.

Specifically, the test functions of the configuration system can be as shown in fig. 2, including:

the model case editing module M0 is used for a designer to edit test case data;

the test case set management module M1 is configured to visually manage all test cases of the function block to be tested, and may include: creation, deletion and editing, and the test of function blocks can be started through the module

The test starting module M2 is used for starting the test of the tested function block by a user and starting a test engine by the system;

and the test engine module M3 is used for processing the test case sets of the tested function blocks, processing the test cases one by one and executing test actions.

And the test result module M4 is used for processing the result data of each test, determining the result of each test according to the description of the test case, namely passing or failing, and displaying all test result information of the test case set to a user.

And the test pile M5 is used for receiving the test case data, executing the service logic of the test case and returning the test data.

The following is a detailed description of the modules:

1) Model use case editing module M0:

a function block has an input event, an input variable, an output event, and an output variable as specified in IEC61499 for the function block. Event-triggered access to data: when an input event is triggered, the value of an input variable is valid; and when the output event is triggered, the value of the output variable is effective.

For one design case, the input of the design of the test case comprises an input event and an input variable; the output includes output events and output variables. A function block may include a plurality of inputs and outputs, and in each input/output column, a combo box listing the inputs/outputs that may be selected by the user directly from the combo box.

2) The test case set management module M1:

the method comprises the steps of creating a test case set, and adding, deleting and editing the test cases. For convenience, an entry to initiate a test may be provided at the same time, and the test results of the test cases are displayed at the same time here. When the test is started each time, the test result is empty, and after the test result is returned, the test result can be displayed at the empty test result, and the display module of the test result can reuse the user interaction interface. The module may be accessed through a right-click menu of the function block under test.

3) The test starting module M2:

and starting the test on the tested module, namely starting the test engine module M3, and transmitting the test case set data to the test engine. When the method is realized, the starting can be entered through a right-click menu of the tested function block, and the starting can also be entered through a start button.

4) The test engine module M3:

the data of the test case set is read, and each test case is processed one by one, specifically, the data of the test case may be transmitted to the test stub M5 (actual hardware runtime, simulated test runtime, and the like), and the test data of the test case returned by the test stub M5 is received.

5) The test result module M4:

and processing the returned data of the test case, judging whether the test passes or not according to the description in the test case, and displaying the data to a designer. In implementation, the test stub M5 returns test data of a test case, for example: the tested function block is to perform the addition of two numbers, and the test case A is the situation that the test function block only has one addend (for example, the value is 1); and returning test data to be 1 after the M5 is executed, and if the expected value in the description of the test case A is 1 and the test data is equal to the expected value, the test is passed, otherwise, the test is not passed.

6) And (3) testing a pile M5:

and receiving test case data, executing test case service logic and returning test data.

7) The test case set persistence module M6:

the test case set data is stored along with the project, and can be read at any time so as to carry out regression test through the test case data.

s1: creating a test case set of the function block;

s2: writing an nth test case;

s3: starting the test of the functional block;

s4: reading a test case set of a tested function block by an automatic test engine;

s5: the automatic test engine executes each test case in sequence;

s6: and the automatic test engine returns the test result of the test case.

The test case set can be written at first or can be gradually improved along with the continuous progress of the test process. When the test case is created, the test case set can be stored locally or on a remote storage in a visual editing mode or a file importing mode, and the specific creating and storing mode can be selected according to actual requirements and is not limited in the present application.

The method is characterized in that the method is visually described for function block test cases, visually described for test case sets, and also visually described for batch execution and test results of the test case sets.

The data flow in the system can be as shown in fig. 4, the test case set of the tested function block inputs data to the test engine, the test engine provides the data to the test stub, the test stub returns output data, and finally a test result is obtained based on the test case and the output data.

In the above example, the test cases are combined into a set, so that visual management of the test cases by a user can be facilitated, the design of the test cases can be more conveniently performed, various input combined tests can be performed, one test input is not required, and the problem that data cannot be recorded in the test process is solved. By means of automatically executing the test case set, the problems of operation range and easiness in error existing in manual operation can be solved, the test efficiency is improved, and meanwhile, the consistency and repeatability of test results are improved.
