Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily reexecute only a test program which is not succeeded by executing all the test programs and transferring the names of the test programs outputted to a catalogue file to the catalogue file. CONSTITUTION:When the execution of the programs is started, data on the catalogue file 1 is judged to be terminated or not. When the data on the catalogue file 1 is terminated, the program is terminated. When a test result is not succeeded finally, the name of the test program whose test result is not succeeded is written into a catalogue file 3 and the test program is executed until the data on the catalogue file 1 is terminated. Thus, only the test program which does not succeeded can easily be reexecuted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic test program execution apparatus, and more particularly to an automatic test program execution apparatus for executing a large number of test programs used in the test process of program development.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of automatic test program execution device stores a large number of test programs in a library, and automatically executes the test programs by reading the names of the members (components) of the library. ing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional test program automatic execution device described above automatically executes all members or member names that have specific rules (such as the first few characters being the same), so it is possible to automatically execute an unsuccessful test program. When used in a testing process where automatic execution is required only for the test program, it has the disadvantage that it requires reconfiguration of the members of the test program that are unsuccessful.

[Means to solve the problem]

The automatic test program execution device of the present invention is an automatic test program execution device that sequentially extracts and executes test programs according to a plurality of test program names specified from a program library storing a plurality of test programs. a catalog input means for reading test program names one by one from a first catalog file, and a test program starting means for extracting from a test program library and executing a test program having the test program name read by the catalog input means. and test program monitoring means for determining the necessity of retesting from the execution results of the test program started by this test program starting means, and writing the test program name received from this test program monitoring means into a second catalog file. and a catalog output means for outputting the catalog.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a catalog file 1 storing test program names of test programs to be automatically executed;
A test program library 2 that stores a plurality of test programs, a catalog file 3 that stores test program names of test programs that have failed in test results and need to be re-executed, and a test program automatic execution device 4. It consists of The test program automatic execution device 4 includes a catalog input means 41 for reading the name of the test program to be executed from the catalog file 1, and extracts a test program having the test program name notified from the catalog input means 41 from the test program library 2. A test program starting means 42 for executing the test program; a test program monitoring means 43 for monitoring the completion and success/failure of the test program started by the test program starting means 42; and a catalog output means 44 for outputting the test program name of the determined test program to a catalog file 3 different from the catalog file 1 used by the catalog input means 41, and this test program automatic execution device 4
can also be configured by one program.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart when the test program automatic execution device 4 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is configured using a program. When the execution of the program starts, it is determined whether the data (test program name) of catalog file 1 is finished (step 411), or if the data (test program name) of catalog file 1 is finished (step 411). 411: YES), the program ends.

If the data (test program name) in catalog file 1 is not completed (NO in step 411), one piece of data (test program name) is read from catalog file 1 (step 412). Next, step 42 creates a job step based on the loaded test program name.
1) Start the job step generated in step 421 in a job different from the job in which this program is running (step 422). Next, the status of the job started in step 422 is monitored (step 431), and when the job is finished (YES in step 432), the test result is judged (step 433), and if the test result is successful (YES in step 433). ), the process returns to step 411.

Finally, if the test result is unsuccessful (step 433
(NO), write the test program name of the test program whose test result was unsuccessful to catalog file 3 (step 441), return to step 411, and continue writing the catalog file 1 until the data (test program name) is completed. Execute the test program.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention transfers the test program name output to the catalog file 3 to the catalog file 1 after all of the plurality of test programs have been executed, thereby easily replaying only the test programs that were unsuccessful. There are effects that can be implemented.
