It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the invention described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Example 1
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a testing method of a BIOS according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where the method may be performed by a testing device of the BIOS, and the testing device of the BIOS may be implemented in hardware and/or software, and the testing device of the BIOS is configured in an electronic device such as a server. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s101, acquiring a configuration file of a basic input and output system, and acquiring each option in the configuration file and optional parameters of each option.
The configuration file records all options in the BIOS starting process, and simultaneously records parameters which can be selected when each option is started, namely the optional parameters; for example, one option in the BIOS is "Network", and parameters that may be selected include "[00] Do not launch", "[01] UEFI", "[02] legacy", i.e., the "Network" option may set one of the three parameters as a startup parameter as desired; wherein the configuration file may be obtained by an SCE (Setup Control Environment, control environment setting) tool.
After the BIOS is solidified to the main board, each option and optional parameter in the configuration file are determined, and the position (namely the line) of each option and each optional parameter in the configuration file is also determined, so that the configuration file after each start of the BIOS after solidification comprises the same data format; for example, in a configuration file of a BIOS, the first seven rows are prefix information or empty rows; eighth behavior the name of the first option, the next four rows show the attribute information of the option, and each attribute information occupies one row; the later data lines are optional parameters of the options, each parameter in the optional parameters occupies one data line respectively, and the options are separated by an empty line; therefore, the line information of each option and each optional parameter under the option can be determined, and therefore, the options and the optional parameters of the options can be obtained directly through positioning the data line.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining each option in the configuration file and optional parameters of each option specifically includes: and sequentially acquiring each option in the configuration file according to the first keyword, and acquiring the selectable parameter of the current option according to the second keyword in the associated row of each option.
Specifically, the name of each option can be defined by using a Setup Question in the configuration file, the name is used as a first keyword, and the position of each option can be determined based on each first keyword which appears in the configuration file in sequence; meanwhile, the optional parameters can be defined by 'Options' in the configuration file, and the optional parameters of each option are positioned below the names of the Options, so that the optional parameters can be used as second keywords, and the optional parameters closest to the names of the Options under each option are obtained and used as the optional parameters of the current option; therefore, on the premise that the data line where each option and optional parameter are located is not required to be known in advance, each option and optional parameter can be accurately obtained through keyword query, the obtaining mode of option information is simplified, particularly for continuously updated BIOS, the new addition, deletion and position adjustment of each option and optional parameter can be directly obtained through keyword query, and the application range of the option information obtaining mode is greatly enlarged.
Particularly, in the embodiment of the invention, the configuration file acquired by the current electronic device may be a configuration file of the self-BIOS, that is, the configuration file of the self-BIOS is acquired through the SCE tool, and the BIOS options and optional parameters are acquired in the configuration file, so that a restart operation is performed based on the modified start-up parameters to test the stability of the self-BIOS; the configuration file obtained by the current electronic device can also be the BIOS configuration file of other devices, and the device is guided to execute restarting operation based on the configuration file modified by the starting parameters so as to test the BIOS stability of the other devices.
S102, respectively modifying the starting parameters of the options according to the sorting result of the optional parameters, and enabling the basic input/output system to execute restarting operation based on the modified configuration file so as to obtain a restarting result.
Ordering under each option according to the parameter serial numbers of the optional parameters; taking table 1 as an example, the number of optional parameters of options "MMCFG Base", "Video", "Hot Plug" is 6, 2 respectively; among the selectable parameters, the parameter with the "×" mark represents the current starting parameter of the BIOS, i.e. the parameter used in the current starting; the starting parameters of the options can be modified in sequence according to the sequence from small to large or from large to small.
Table 1 optional parameters and default parameters for each option
Specifically, taking the above technical solution as an example, when the configuration file is modified for the first time, the parameter with the smallest parameter serial number in each option is used as the starting parameter, that is, the starting parameters of options "MMCFG Base", "Video", "Hot Plug" are "[00]1g", "[01] uefi", "[00] disabled", respectively, and the configuration file completed by this modification is imported into the BIOS, so that the BIOS executes the restarting operation based on the configuration file after the modification, and further the relevant state parameters of this startup, such as the starting time, etc., can be obtained.
After the restart is completed, when the configuration file is modified for the second time, the second-small parameter of each selected parameter serial number is used as a starting parameter, namely, the starting parameters of options of 'MMCFG Base', 'Video', 'Hot Plug' are respectively '01 ] 1.5G', '02 legacy', '01' respectively, and the configuration file which is modified at the time is also imported into the BIOS, so that the BIOS executes the restart operation based on the configuration file after the modification.
Obviously, as described in the above technical solution, when each configuration file is modified, the starting parameters of each option are modified respectively, and in each configuration file completed by modification, the starting parameters of the same option are different from the starting parameters in the previous configuration file; if the maximum number of selectable parameters in all options is N (N is greater than 1), the starting test of all parameters of all options can be completed through N configuration files. In particular, for the option with a smaller number of selectable parameters, for example, the number of selectable parameters of the current option a is M (M is smaller than N), in the first M configuration files, that is, all selectable parameters of the option a have been tested, starting from the (m+1) -th configuration file, the start-up parameter of the option a may be set as a default parameter among the selectable parameters.
For the acquisition of the default parameters, the default parameters are used as the last attribute information row in the four attribute information rows under the option names, and the default parameters under each option can be directly acquired according to the positioning of the default parameter data row; the Default parameter closest to the option name under each option can be obtained as the Default parameter of the current option according to the third keyword, for example, "BIOS Default".
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the modifying, according to the result of the sorting of the selectable parameters, the starting parameters of the options respectively further includes: and if the optional parameters of the current option are determined to be taken as the starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, modifying the starting parameters of the current option into random parameters in the optional parameters. Specifically, taking the above technical solution as an example, since all optional parameters of the option a are tested in the previous M configuration files, in the subsequent N-M configuration files, the starting parameter of the option a may be randomly set to a certain parameter among the optional parameters, so as to implement the unconventional parameter assignment in the BIOS option, and further execute the random assignment test of the BIOS option, so as to increase the diversity of test types in the stability test result.
S103, continuously modifying the starting parameters of the options respectively according to the sorting result of the selectable parameters, and enabling the basic input and output system to continuously execute restarting operation based on the modified configuration file until the selectable parameters of the options are taken as the starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation.
According to the technical scheme, after N configuration files with modified configuration files are obtained and the restarting operation of the BIOS is respectively executed based on the N configuration files, the starting test of all parameters in the BIOS options is completed.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after acquiring the configuration file of the bios, the method further includes: acquiring default parameters of each option; the step of respectively modifying the starting parameters of the options according to the sorting result of the selectable parameters specifically comprises the following steps: according to the sorting result of the selectable parameters, taking the adjacent parameters of the default parameters as the modification starting points of the starting parameters and taking the default parameters as the modification ending points of the starting parameters; and if the optional parameters of the current option are determined to be taken as starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, modifying the starting parameters of the current option into corresponding default parameters.
Specifically, after the default parameters of each option are obtained, taking the upstream adjacent parameter or the downstream adjacent parameter of each option as a starting point and taking the default parameters as an end point; taking table 1 as an example, if taking the downstream adjacent parameters as a starting point, setting the starting parameters of the option "MMCFG Base" to "2.25G", "3G", "Auto", "1G", "1.5G", "1.175G", "2G" in each configuration file after modification; obviously, in the modification configuration file acquired for the sixth time, the starting parameter of the option "MMCFG Base" is set to be the default parameter "2G", and in the options with the number of other optional parameters less than or equal to six, the starting parameter is also the default parameter, so that when the last configuration file starting is executed, that is, the sixth modification configuration file starting, not only the starting test of all the option parameters can be completed, but also other types of BIOS tests, such as firmware refreshing test, can be continuously executed based on the default parameter configuration file started at this time (that is, the configuration files of all the options are the default parameters), so that the independent configuration of the default parameter configuration file is avoided, and the testing efficiency of BIOS stability is improved as a whole.
According to the technical scheme, after the options in the BIOS configuration file and the optional parameters under each option are obtained, the starting parameters of each option are respectively modified according to the sorting result of the optional parameters, the BIOS executes the restarting operation based on the modified configuration file, and the steps are repeated until the optional parameters of each option are taken as starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, so that the starting test of the optional parameters in the BIOS option is realized, the parameter test of all the options is completed only based on a small number of configuration files, the testing efficiency of the BIOS is improved, meanwhile, the testing result covers the optional parameters under all the options, and the integrity and the comprehensiveness of the testing result are improved.
Example two
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a testing method of a basic input/output system according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the relationship between the present embodiment and the above embodiment is that if it is determined that the selectable parameters of the current option are all used as the starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, and the current option is a load related option, the starting parameters are modified to be the maximum value of the selectable parameters. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
s201, acquiring a configuration file of a basic input and output system, and acquiring each option in the configuration file and optional parameters of each option.
S202, respectively modifying the starting parameters of the options according to the sorting result of the optional parameters, and enabling the basic input/output system to execute restarting operation based on the modified configuration file so as to obtain a restarting result; if the optional parameters of the current option are determined to be taken as starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, the option type of the current option is obtained; the option types comprise load related options and non-load related options; if the current option is a load related option, modifying the starting parameter to be the maximum value in the selectable parameters; and if the current option is a non-load related option, modifying the starting parameter into a corresponding default parameter or a random parameter in the selectable parameters.
A load related option, which is related to the running load of the central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU); for example, options "Auto Detect PCI Clk", "Spread Spectrum", "CPU Host/3V66/PCI Clock", respectively related to PCI device Clock frequency, speed Spectrum, frequency multiplication of CPU, increasing the values of the above-mentioned option parameters obviously increases the load of CPU; if the selectable parameter in the option is a specific value and the option is related to the CPU load, the starting parameter is modified to be the maximum value, so that the stability of the BIOS is tested under the extreme condition that the load related options are all the maximum values, and the testing range of the stability of the BIOS is effectively expanded. If the optional parameters in the options are irrelevant to the CPU load, the starting parameters are modified into corresponding default parameters or random parameters in the optional parameters so as to realize conventional parameter assignment or unconventional parameter assignment of the non-load related options, further, the starting test of the BIOS options is executed, and the variety of test types in the stability test result is further increased.
S203, continuously modifying the starting parameters of the options according to the sorting result of the selectable parameters, and enabling the basic input and output system to continuously execute restarting operation based on the modified configuration file until the selectable parameters of the options are taken as the starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, if the selectable parameters of the current option are determined to be all taken as the starting parameters to participate in the restarting operation, and the current option is the load related option, the starting parameters are modified to the corresponding maximum value, so that the stability of the BIOS is tested under the extreme condition that the load related options are all maximum values, and the testing range of the stability of the BIOS is effectively expanded.

S303, comparing the configuration file of the basic input/output system after the restarting with the configuration file before the restarting to judge whether the starting parameters are effective; and/or monitoring whether the basic input/output system is in downtime.
After the configuration file after modification is imported into the BIOS, the BIOS is restarted based on the configuration file, and after restarting, the current configuration file is exported, so that the configuration files before and after restarting each time are compared to determine whether the modification of the starting parameters of options in the configuration files is effective or not before restarting; if the abnormal parameters are not validated, recording the abnormal parameters which are not validated and the configuration environment in which the abnormal parameters are located, namely starting parameters of other options in the configuration file; therefore, not only can the detection of the unactuated abnormal parameters be realized, but also the configuration environment matched with the abnormal parameters can be obtained, and an environment sample is provided for the correction of the abnormal parameters; meanwhile, the shutdown of the BIOS is monitored, whether the option parameters after starting can keep the stable running of the BIOS can be checked, and the stability test of the BIOS is further realized.
