The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

The invention is further illustrated by the following figures and specific examples, but is not to be construed as limiting.

Based on the above problems existing in the prior art, a control test method is now provided, which is suitable for use in a software automatic test process. In this method, there is a tree relationship structure for characterizing the hierarchical relationship among all the controls in the software to be tested.

In this embodiment, in the tree relationship structure, for a control, there may be a control having a higher-level label, or a control having a same-level label, and a control having a lower-level label may also exist. Specifically, the so-called control with the superior label refers to the upper control of the current control, and the mutual upper and lower position relationship can be confirmed by the label of the control. Correspondingly, the so-called control with the same level label refers to the same level control of the current control, and the control with the lower level label refers to the lower level control of the current control, which will not be described below.

In this embodiment, the foregoing method specifically includes the steps shown in FIG. 1:

Step S1, selecting a control as a start control on the current test interface of the software, and using the start control as the current control;

In step S2, it is determined whether the uniqueness attribute of the current control is valid:

If yes, the corresponding unique attribute generates a first expression associated with the current control, as an expression of the current control, and then proceeds to step S6;

In step S3, it is determined whether the non-unique attribute of the current control is valid:

If yes, the second expression corresponding to the current control is generated corresponding to the non-unique property, as the expression of the current control, and then step S5 is performed;

Step S4, determining a position number of the current control between the controls having the same level label, and generating a third expression associated with the current control according to the position number, as an expression of the current control;

In step S5, it is determined whether the current control has a control with a superior label:

If yes, the control with the superior label is taken as the current control, and then returns to step S2;

Step S6, forming control positioning information associated with the start control according to an expression of all the controls associated with the start control and the expression associated with the start control, and the control positioning information is used in the current software. Find and identify the corresponding control in the test interface.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in the foregoing step S1, the user may select a control by using a preset operation manner on the current test interface of the software, and perform relevant steps of forming control positioning information on the control. The above preset operation mode may be a method of simultaneously pressing the CTRL button and the right mouse button to select, or other preset operation modes.

In this embodiment, the foregoing steps S2-S5 confirm the generation manners of several control expressions, which may specifically include:

1) First, it is judged whether the uniqueness attribute of the current control is valid, and when the uniqueness attribute of the current control is valid, a first expression about the current control is formed as an expression of the control, and then the process proceeds to step S6. The above first expression can be expressed as: tagName[A=B];

A is used to represent the unique attribute, and B is used to represent the assignment of the unique attribute.

Then in the above step S6, the control positioning information associated with the start control is formed and saved according to the expression of all the controls having the superior label associated with the start control and the expression associated with the start control.

Specifically, in the process of performing recursion, first, a control selected by the user is used as a start control, and the start control is a control that currently needs to form control positioning information. The start control is then used as the current control, and is recursively upward according to the above steps S2-S6, that is, an expression of the control of the start control having the superior label is found and formed. Specifically, an expression of all the controls of the start control having the superior label is formed, and finally combined with the expression of the start control, thereby finally forming the control positioning information of the start control and saving in the control information list.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a preset delimiter is added between different expressions to distinguish the individual expressions and to represent the subordinate relationship between the different expressions.

In practical applications, the above-mentioned preset delimiters may be represented by a space symbol or by a ">" symbol, or may be represented by other suitable division symbols.

For example, it is expressed as “A B”. In the representation manner, the relationship between the above-mentioned controls may be in a broad sense, for example, A may represent an expression of the upper control of the B control, or an upper control of the B control. , B represents the expression of the starting control.

For example, it is expressed as “A>B”. In this representation mode, the relationship between the above and below controls is only strictly speaking, that is, A may only be an expression of the upper control of the B control, and B represents the start control. Expression.

2) In the above step S2, if the uniqueness attribute of the control is invalid, then the process proceeds to step S3, that is, whether the non-uniqueness attribute of the control is valid:

If the non-unique property of the control is valid, the position number of the control in the control with the same-level label is further confirmed, and a second expression is generated as an expression of the control. The above second expression can be expressed as: tagName.Classname: eq(N) or tagName[A=B]: eq(N);

Specifically, when the non-unique attribute is a Class attribute (type attribute), the second expression may be represented as tagName.Classname: eq(N), where N is used to represent the position number.

When the non-unique attribute is not a Class attribute, the second expression may be represented as tagName[A=B]: eq(N);

A is used to indicate the above non-unique attribute, and B is used to indicate the assignment of the non-unique attribute.

Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S5. That is to determine whether the current control has a superior control:

If yes, the upper control is obtained, and the upper control is used as the current control, and the above step S1 is returned to perform the above steps recursively;

If it does not exist, the above step S6 is directly executed, that is, the control positioning information is formed by using the parent→current method.

3) In the above step S3, if the non-uniqueness attribute of the control is also invalid, then the process proceeds to step S4, that is, the position number N between the controls having the same level label is obtained according to the label of the current control, and then a third is generated. The expression is used as an expression for the current control. The above third expression may be: tagName: eq(N).

Then, the process proceeds to step S5, that is, as described above, it is judged whether there is a superior control, and a recursive operation is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S6 to form a current control according to the expression of the superior control, the expression of the current control, and the expression of the lower control. Control positioning information.

In this embodiment, the above steps S1-S6 only generate corresponding control positioning information for one control, so the above steps are performed for each control in the above software to respectively form corresponding control positioning information for each control. Finally, a control information list is formed according to all the control positioning information.

In this embodiment, the subsequent automatic test step is finally performed according to the above control information list. This automated test procedure is detailed below.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the unique attribute may be an ID attribute of the control or other specific attribute. For example, when the unique attribute is the ID of the control, the first expression of the control may be: tagName[ID=B]. For another example, when the unique attribute is the name of the control, the first expression of the control may be: tagName[Name=B]. In other embodiments of the present invention, the unique attribute may also be other unique attribute values of the current control.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the non-unique attribute may be a Class attribute (type attribute) of the control, or a name attribute or other attributes.

For example, when the above non-unique property is the Class property (type property) of the control, the second expression of the control may be: tagName.Classname: eq(N).

For another example, when the non-unique attribute is the name attribute of the control, the second expression of the control may be: tagName[name=B]: eq(N).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the unique attribute and the non-unique attribute can be freely set by the user. For example, the user can pre-set a property table before testing the control, and select different properties for different kinds of controls in the property table to determine it as a unique property or a non-unique property.

So above, depending on the settings, the Name property can be a unique property or it can be set to a non-unique property.

In the test interface of the software, find the control that meets the condition according to the positioning information of the control, and then judge whether the number of controls found is greater than 1:

If the number of controls is greater than 1, the control fails to pass the verification. In this case, the user needs to manually update the control positioning information of the corresponding unverified control to update the control information list.

If the number of controls is 1, it means that the control passes the verification, and there is no need to update the control information list at this time.

In this embodiment, the complete step of the control test method may be: forming a corresponding control positioning information for a control → verifying the positioning information of the control and modifying according to the verification result → forming a control according to all the verified control positioning information Information list → Perform subsequent automatic test steps based on the control information list.
