[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic tester, and more particularly to an automatic tester that automatically tests a program for operating a predetermined device by an inspection program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional automatic inspection apparatus of this type will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional automatic inspection apparatus.

In FIG. 3, the conventional automatic test apparatus 40 is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-38956, and when the power of the automatic test apparatus 40 is turned on by a tester, the automatic test apparatus 40 will be described. 40 is activated, and the communication channel input / output unit 45 receives the communication channel control signal transmitted from the central processing unit 50. This control signal is analyzed by the speech path system simulating means 46 to simulate the connection operation of the telephone network, the trunk and the speech path switch, and the result is stored in the test result file 41. The man-machine interface input / output unit 47 stores the message received from the central processing unit 50 in the test result file 41. The automatic execution means 48 reads the test instruction information from the test procedure file 44 created in advance, and for the call path operation instruction, the call path simulation means 46 simulates the operation of the telephone network or the trunk and calls the operation signal. Road system input / output means 4
5 to the central processing unit 50, and the operation signals thereof are sequentially stored in the test result file 41. When the test instruction information is a command or control signal to be input to the central processing unit 50, the man-machine interface input / output unit 47 transmits it to the central processing unit 50 and stores it in the test result file 41 sequentially. Judgment means 4
9, each time one test item is completed, the data of the test result file 41 and the data of the reference file 42 are logically compared, and the quality of the test is judged for each test number included in the test item. The result is stored in the test item management file 43. After the test is completed, the tester inputs a test result confirmation command to read the result from the test item management file 43 and judge the pass / fail of the test by the determination means 49.
Can be displayed on the display section of.

In this conventional automatic inspection apparatus, the process of reading the test instruction information from the test procedure file, executing the automatic test, and writing the result into the test result file is an apparatus. Since it is internal only, there is a problem that you cannot actually see it. In addition, as a test procedure file when executing an automatic test, only the test instruction information in this file is tested, and when executing another test, another file must be specified. is there.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a test procedure for a program to be inspected in this embodiment.

In FIG. 1, the present embodiment has a sequence scenario file 8 storing a plurality of inspection scenarios predetermined for a program to be inspected, an input device 1 for inputting designation of inspection scenarios, and the like. An output device 2 for displaying and outputting the inspection result, a determination standard file 5 for storing the inspection determination standard, an inspection result file 7 for storing the inspection result, and a determination result file 6 for storing the comparison result determination with the determination standard. , ROM for storing inspection procedure program
4, a RAM 11 that stores a program to be inspected,
It has a CPU 3 that controls the entire embodiment according to a program stored in a ROM 4 and executes processing.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
Will be described with reference to.

When the program to be inspected is written in the RAM 11 and a plurality of inspection scenarios for the program to be inspected and the order thereof are designated from the input device 1 (for example, A and B scenarios), the CPU 3 executes the input and designated scenarios. The sequence scenario file 8 is read (S1).
For example, first, the A scenario file 8a is read. A command is read from the read data in the A scenario file 8a, and the command is analyzed and converted into a command that can be processed (S2). Using the converted command, the inspection of the inspection target program read from the RAM 11 is executed (S3).

At this time, the contents of the test being executed are displayed on the output device 2 (S4). The inspection result data is stored in the inspection result file 7 (S5). Next, the determination reference data corresponding to the inspection result data is read from the determination reference file and compared and collated (S6), the comparison and collation result is written in the determination result file 6 (S7), and then all of the A scenario files 8a. Check whether the data of
8) If not completed, the process returns to the reading process (S1) of the sequence scenario file 8.

As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to test the RAM 11 in which the program to be inspected is written by changing the combination of a plurality of scenario files.

Therefore, when a pug is found in the program to be inspected, the changed portion of the RAM 11 can be easily rewritten, corrected, re-inspected, and finally rewritten in the ROM.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, a sequence scenario file including a plurality of scenario files describing a plurality of inspection scenarios for a program to be inspected, start / stop of inspection of the program to be inspected, and the scenario file name. Input means for inputting, an inspection result file for filing the inspection result of the inspected program, a criterion file in which the criterion for judging whether the inspection result is right or wrong is stored, and An output means for displaying the inspection contents, a judgment result file for storing the result of comparison and comparison between the inspection result and the judgment standard, and a scenario file having the scenario file name input from the input means are read from the sequence scenario file Use the program to be inspected according to the data in the scenario file By providing a control and processing means for executing a test, look at the output means the course of the test, there is an effect that it is possible to know quickly the quality of the test program.

Further, the combination of a plurality of inspection scenarios and the input order can be freely set by the input means, and the inspection program can be inspected under a plurality of conditions, so that the quality of the inspection program can be improved more than before. There is an effect that can be done.
