Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute the test of the same contents many times by preserving and recycling test data, test process or tested result although the test of the same contents can not be executed many times in the case of executing the test of a conventional on-line program. CONSTITUTION:This system is composed of a keyboard 1 for inputting test data, display 2 for displaying input contents, printer 3 for outputting the test data, test data file 7 for storing the inputted test data, test process file 8 for storing the keying information of the keyboard 1, tested result file 9 for storing the tested result, and test managing program 5 for managing these files. Then, a test object program 6 of the on-line program is tested by the test managing program 5, the temporarily tested test object program 6 is tested by the same process as the same test data many times. Each time the program is tested, the result is compared with the preceding tested result without checking all the result.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a program test method, and more particularly to a method for storing and using a test procedure and test data when executing a test of a program operating in an online system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the test execution of an online program, first, a test specification of the program is created, then the program is activated, and test data is input interactively based on the test specification. To do.
After inputting the test data, the result is output to the display and printer, and the output result is checked against the test specifications.

Normally, a program is tested a plurality of times, but after the first time, the creation of test specifications is unnecessary, the program is started, test data is input, and the output result is confirmed.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional online program test execution, when testing the same content of the same program, test data must be entered every time while looking at the test specifications. There is a drawback that it is easy to make mistakes in the values and conditions of the test data entered in and the input procedure.

In addition, as for the output result, the result output in the past must be saved in a list for the next test,
There is a drawback that it is necessary to secure a storage space, and the work is time-consuming.

An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard 1 for inputting test data and a display 2 for displaying the input contents.
A printer 3 for outputting test data, a test data file 7 for storing the input test data, and a test procedure file 8 for storing keystroke information of the keyboard 1.
And a test result file 9 for storing the test results, and a test management program 5 for managing them, the online program 6 is tested by the test management program 5, and the online program 6 once tested is tested. Perform the test with the same test data as many times as you like, do not check all the results every time you do the test, and compare it with the previous test result to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks Program test method that can perform quality test and can change test data and test procedure while testing, so that partial program test can be performed, program quality can be improved, and storage space and working time can be reduced. To provide.

[0007]

According to the program test method of the present invention, a keyboard for inputting test data and an input content of the input test data are displayed in the program test method for testing an online program with test data. A display, a printer that outputs the contents of the test results, a test data file that stores the input test data, a test procedure file that stores the keystroke information from the keyboard, a test result file that stores the test results, and a test Has a test management program that manages, conducts online program tests by the test management program, rewrites the contents of the test data file, test procedure file, and test result file with the test results, and uses the contents again, Test You have me.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system using a program test method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a system using the program test method of the present embodiment includes a keyboard 1, a display 2, a printer 3, a CPU 4 having a test management program 5 and a test target program 6, and a test data file. 7, a test procedure file 8 and a test result file 9.

When the test target program 6 which is an online program is tested for the first time, first of all,
A test specification is created, and then the test management program 5 is started. After that, start the test target program 6,
Based on the test specifications, test data is input from the keyboard 1 to perform the test. At this time, the test management program 5 adds the program name, the input procedure number, etc. to the test data input from the keyboard 1 and outputs it to the test data file 7, and adds the program name to the keystroke information of the keyboard 1 to perform the test. Output to the procedure file 8.

As a result of the test, the test result output to the printer 3 is also output to the test result file 9 with the program name added.

When the test target program 6 is tested for the second time and thereafter, if the test data and keyboard keystroke contents are the same, the test data file 7 and the test procedure file 8 are input, and the test management program 5 automatically selects the test target program. Perform 6 tests. The output result is compared with the content of the test result file 9 and checked. If the test data and keyboard keystrokes are different from the last time,
The test data file 7 and the test procedure file 8 are input, and while the test of the test target program 6 performed by the test management program 5 is stopped at any time, the test data and keystroke keys are changed and the test is performed. At that time, the test management program 5 rewrites the test data file 7, the test procedure file 8, and the test result file 9.

[0014]

As described above, according to the program test method of the present invention, a test is performed once, and the same test data and the same procedure are repeatedly used to perform the test.
By not comparing all the results with each test, and comparing it with the previous test result, you can perform uniform quality test and change the test data and test procedure while testing. It also has the effect of improving program quality, reducing storage space and working time.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a program test method for testing an online program with test data, a keyboard for inputting the test data, a display for displaying the input contents of the input test data, and a content for the test result are output. A printer, a test data file that stores the input test data, a test procedure file that stores keystroke information from the keyboard, a test result file that stores test results, and a test management program that manages the test. The above-mentioned test management program is used to perform a test of the online program, and the contents of the test data file, the test procedure file, and the test result file are rewritten according to the test results, and the contents are used again to perform the test What to do Program test method characterized by.
