Abstract

The invention relates to a method for testing communication equipment in batches. A robotframework platform is built on a PC side, and the PC communicates with a plurality of communication devices to be tested through a router; and a loop script is executed in the robotframework platform to perform automatic testing according to the IP list variable of the communication device to be tested for loop. At the same time, the database operation library identifies the local data type through socket communication, and calls different interfaces according to the database type to store the IP address of the current device under test in the local database table. When the automated test case is called and executed, it passes the imported varible variable. The file calls the database operation library to obtain the IP of the device under test, and finally ride generates an html test report according to the device IP address according to the test result. The invention solves the problem that the value of the IP list variable in the loop script cannot be obtained and input by the test case when the robotframework platform executes the automatic test of the communication equipment in batches. It enables testers to use the robotframework platform to test communication devices in batches, which improves the efficiency of testers in batch testing of communication devices.

Method and system for batch testing of communication equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to

Background

Currently, robotframe automation frameworks are widely applied to various automation test scenes, but when robotframe automation is applied to communication equipment-oriented test, it is difficult to automatically test communication equipment in batches and generate corresponding test reports based on communication equipment IP sets. The reason is that when the robotframe runs the test case, the pybot command is actually called in the background to run the automation case. When each use case runs, the use cases are all the pybot commands newly called by the interpreter, so that the memories among the use cases cannot be shared when the use cases are run every time, and therefore common variables in the use cases cannot be shared among the use cases. Therefore, when a batch of communication equipment needs to be tested in batch according to the established test case library, the equipment IP address variables imported by the for-loop script cannot be automatically acquired by the automatic test case library. Therefore, when a tester faces the test requirements of a large amount of communication equipment, the tester cannot automatically build and operate a test case at one time, and the test efficiency is low in the scene. The conventional robotframe platform lacks a method for automatically testing communication equipment in batches, and similar patents are not available at home at present.

Further, the existing test case library is a developed device test case library, acquires the IP address of the tested communication device from the variable file, and is in communication connection with the tested device according to the IP address of the tested device to run the automated test case.

Further, the variable file is a python file for importing variables, and the IP address of the current device to be tested is acquired by calling the encapsulation keywords of the database operation library.
