Description

Integrated test system

The present invention relates to an integrated test support system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a program to test and generate a request message and a response message according to a scenario in which a plurality of single transactions are combined to allow a plurality of organizations to trade with each other organically. It relates to an integrated test support system for testing by sending and receiving.

Recently, financial transactions are organized such that each financial institution or related institution establishes a server in the center and is connected to each other. In addition, each institution has branches in each region, and terminals are installed in each branch to conduct transactions.

If an error occurs in a program installed on a server or a terminal during a financial transaction, there may be a serious problem in the entire society. Therefore, it is necessary to fully test the program before minimizing the occurrence of the error. There is.

Conventionally, a person in charge of a test performs a test by directly inputting transaction contents in sequence, but this method has a problem in that the cost increases because it takes a long time.

In order to solve this problem, a method of automatically executing a test in connection with a program to be tested while a single transaction to be tested is input is used.

However, the above method has a problem in that it is not possible to consider a relationship with various organizations because it is a method of confirming whether a single transaction (for example, a customer transfers or deposits a payment) is properly performed. In other words, the process of receiving a transaction request from multiple institutions for one account, for example, another bank sends money to the account at Bank A, and the bank makes a withdrawal from the ATM. In this case, completely different results may be obtained depending on the order of transactions. In other words, if withdrawal or automatic transfer is made before the transfer is made, if the balance is insufficient, an error occurs, but if the transfer is made first, the lack of the balance does not occur.

However, the conventional method cannot test such a process, but even if it works normally when testing a single transaction, there is a problem that an error may occur when the actual program is installed and applied to a task.

The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems to provide an integrated test support system that can minimize the occurrence of errors in the actual application by performing the test of the program in consideration of the mutual organic relationship between the institutions. The main thing is that.

The present invention is a test support system for testing a program for processing a financial transaction by generating a variety of transactions in order to achieve the above object, comprising a plurality of case-by-case tests to perform a single transaction and a plurality of institutions mutually organic An input module for providing a screen for inputting a scenario configured to perform a transaction and receiving and storing the scenario through the screen; Control module that is linked with the program to be tested and controls the flow of data according to the scenario on behalf of each institution to which the program is actually linked to generate a request message or generate a response message and test the program interactively with the program. and; The integrated test support system, characterized in that it comprises a; and a result reporting module for collecting and storing the log and full text of the test process and provide it as a technical gist.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a test request module for processing a connection of a user requesting a test and providing an RSS address for checking the result after the test is ended is further included.

According to a preferred embodiment, the result report module stores the test result and generates RSS information so that a user who requests a test can access the test result.

According to a preferred embodiment, the control module performs a simultaneous transaction test that generates and tests a plurality of transactions at the same time as a continuous transaction test that generates and tests a plurality of transactions continuously for a predetermined period of time, thereby reducing the frequency of response and resource usage of the program. Evaluate and test the performance.

According to the present invention, since a test is performed using a scenario in which a plurality of single transactions are combined in consideration of an organic relationship between a plurality of institutions, virtual transactions are similarly performed in the field work, and thus a test that is generated when a test is completed is used for work. The effect is that the error is minimized.

In addition, because testing is automatic, the time required for testing is reduced, which reduces the cost of testing.

The present invention includes an input module, a control module and a result report module.

First, the input module will be described. The input module provides a screen for inputting a scenario and stores the scenario when an administrator or a user inputs the scenario.

The scenario used in the present invention defines a process in which a plurality of institutions perform a trade organically by combining a plurality of single transactions.

In this case, a single transaction is a transaction performed by a financial institution with respect to a customer, another institution, or a branch thereof, and refers to individual transactions such as deposit, withdrawal, account transfer, and remittance.

The single transaction is a one-to-one correspondence between an institution and an individual or an institution and an institution.

However, since the transaction of a general financial institution is made by combining a plurality of single transactions as described above, a case-by-case test that uses only a single transaction when testing a program cannot perform a complete test.

Therefore, in the present invention, a combination of a plurality of single transactions is inputted a scenario representing a process in which a plurality of institutions trade each other organically.

If the input module presents the screen as shown in Fig. 1, the administrator inputs a plurality of single transactions, and the input module which receives the input is stored in a database so that it can be used for later testing.

Here, instead of entering multiple single transactions in order to enter the scenario, the administrator can enter the type and frequency of single transactions that can occur, and then configure the server to automatically generate and test a single transaction according to the frequency of occurrence. Do. As described above, when a single transaction is automatically generated, various combinations can be tested, so that a more accurate test can be made.

However, the automatic creation of a transaction can create a single transaction that cannot be processed (for example, lack of balance on transfers between institutions), so that if such a transaction occurs, it will be checked and not performed. You can also type in together.

Next, the control module will be described. The control module performs an actual test using a scenario input through the input module.

The control module generates a telegram requesting a transaction according to a scenario, transmits the telegram to the program, and receives a telegram to which the program responds according to the telegram. At this time, the reply message is analyzed to generate and transmit a response message or to generate a message to be transmitted to another institution.

In addition, when the program transmits a full text requesting a transaction with a specific institution, the control module connects to the corresponding institution through an external system as shown in FIG.

In addition, according to the scenario, the control module enables mutual transactions between other institutions except programs, as shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, the control module (test support server) is divided into two for the sake of understanding, but in reality, such a flow occurs internally in one server. Accordingly, even if the program transmits the same transaction request, it is possible to provide different responses according to the scenario.

In other words, if the program requests withdrawal from a particular account, the program will send a message to the program that the balance may not be withdrawn due to a lack of balance due to a transaction between different institutions. It creates and delivers the full text.

As described above, the program can be tested in a mutually organic trading situation by performing a transaction between the institutions according to the scenario, so that a test closer to reality can be performed.

In this case, instead of generating a response message, the control module may generate a response message instead and provide it to the program.

In addition to the test through the scenario described above, the control module performs a performance test to check the rate at which the program responds and the resource use rate by generating a plurality of consecutive transactions for a predetermined time or simultaneously generating a plurality of transactions. This is to ensure that the program under test can handle a large number of transaction requests in a short time.

Next, the result reporting module will be described. The result report module collects and provides the test results of the control module in conjunction with the program. The results include full text and log records generated and delivered by each institution and program.

The result collected during the test is converted and stored in a predetermined format. At the end of the test, the user is notified that the test is finished, and when the user requests, the result as shown in FIG. 4 is provided.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the result is converted into RSS information and stored in order to easily notify the user that the test is finished and to allow the user to easily access the result.

However, as described above, instead of notifying the result using RSS, the user may be notified by SMS, etc., and the user may access and check the designated web page or transmit the result by e-mail.

Hereinafter, the operation and effects of the integrated test support system of the present invention will be described.

First, the administrator who provides the integrated test support system enters various scenarios by operating the input module. The scenario is configured to allow testing close to reality, including various transactions made in financial institutions.

Thereafter, when a user who completes a program to be used by a financial institution requests a test by accessing a web page provided by the integrated test support system, the integrated test support system provides an ID and password for accessing a server performing the test. Will be given.

In addition, by providing the address of the RSS feed that the user can check the results, the user can easily access and check the test after the end. It is also worthwhile to provide a user with a dedicated client to check the test results. This is to ensure that the results can be checked only when a dedicated client is used so that others cannot check the test results.

Thereafter, the user accesses the test server and uses the ID and password to link the program to be tested with the server.

Then, according to the scenario selected by the user, the control module in the server performs transactions with the program on behalf of various organizations.

Here, instead of selecting one of the scenarios input by the administrator, the user may make a scenario by himself and use it for a test.

The full text generated during the transaction and the result of the transaction are stored on one side of the server. When all the tests are completed, the result report module of the server converts the full text and the result of the transaction into RSS information.

The user confirms that the test is completed by updating the registered RSS address and receives the result from the corresponding address.

The user checks the error or problem of the program from the result and corrects it to complete the program.

As described above, according to the integrated test support system of the present invention, the test may be performed in consideration of the organic relationship between various organizations, and thus accurate test reflecting the reality may be performed.
