Abstract:

Due to the complex task, tight coupling, strict timing, and a large amount of interchange data, the technical threshold of automated testing of bus communication equipment software is high, and the implementation is difficult. The ideas of data-driven testing and keyword-driven testing are introduced, and a data simulation testing framework is proposed. Configuration rules are formulated and implemented in the framework. Testers can simulate peripheral data for complex process equipment software and implement automated testing by only focusing on the task analysis, and configuring interchange data and keywords. There is no need to develop test scripts, which reduces the technical threshold of automated testing. Application results show that the framework can perform more task scenarios than manual and physical testing. It also can find the deep software defects related to the task processes.

Key words: data simulation, automated testing, testing framework, business process, equipment software, data-driven, keyword-driven
