In the software development process, in order to ensure the accuracy of the software quality and the requirement of the development flow, a task for testing the software is received, namely the task to be tested. After receiving the task to be tested, the requirements corresponding to the task to be tested can be analyzed, so that the test type corresponding to the task to be tested is determined. The test type is understood to be a type of test determined according to the requirements of the task to be tested and the purpose of the test. For example, the test type may be a functional test, a performance test, a security test, or a compatibility test, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In the embodiment of the invention, the test templates to be used can be determined according to the historical test examples corresponding to a plurality of historical test tasks of the same test type, and the type of the test templates is universal. The test template can comprise corresponding test steps abstracted based on the historical test cases. I.e. the test templates to be used corresponding to different test types are different. The historical test task may be a test task performed before the task to be tested is executed. The historical test cases may be related test cases obtained in a historical test task. The difference information populating template may be a table or form used to record the difference information.

Specifically, a general test template can be abstracted according to the historical test examples corresponding to a plurality of historical test tasks of the same test type, namely, the test template to be used. After determining the test type corresponding to the task to be tested, determining the universal test template to be used corresponding to the test type based on the test type. Meanwhile, according to the test case identification corresponding to the task to be tested, the position information of the task to be tested in the difference information filling template is determined, so that the data information to be filled in the difference information filling template is determined, and the data information in the subsequent task to be tested is filled.

The set of history instances may be a set of history test instances with a higher degree of similarity. The test templates are universal test templates abstracted out based on the historical instance groups of the same test type.

After determining that the similarity of any two history test cases is higher, the history test cases with higher similarity can be classified into a history case group. Where there may be a situation where there is no similarity between other historical test cases and a certain historical test case, the historical test cases may also be categorized as a historical case group. Thus, at least one history test case is included in the set of history cases. Then, according to the test content in the history test cases in the history case group, the test type corresponding to the history case group can be analyzed and determined, and according to the test type corresponding to the history case group, the history test cases in the history case group are processed, and the corresponding test templates are abstracted.
