Description

Method for generating test case by auto analysis of user interface}

The present invention relates to a test case generation method through automatic user interface analysis, and more particularly, to a test case generation method through automatic user interface analysis that can easily generate a test case.

In general, when conducting a user interface (UI) test, the tester derives a test case based on input and input combination or specification of a screen or function.

In addition, a test case may be derived using a tool for deriving a test case using a technique for deriving a test case or a tool for deriving a test case using a specific technique.

When a tester derives a test case based on the input or input combination or specification of a screen or function, there is a deviation in the scope or quality of the test depending on the tester's ability to derive the test case.

In addition, when a test case is derived using a technique for deriving a test case or a tool for deriving a test case by applying a technique, the tester can access only when the relevant knowledge and skills are sufficient.

In addition, when the test case is derived in this manner, when the input control region of the infant (UI) is changed, it is difficult to derive the changed contents, and the process of deriving the test case again needs to be repeated.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a test case generation method through automatic user interface analysis that can easily derive a test case and automatically derive a test case that must be essentially verified regardless of the tester's capability.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for generating a test case through automatic user interface analysis may include storing a predetermined test item for each input control area of a user interface. Analyzing the input control region in the user interface of the target software to generate a test case basis table and a test for each input control region previously stored in the test case basis table generated by the input control region analysis of the user interface for the test target software. Assigning an item to generate a test case.

In addition, after the test case base table generation step, re-analyze the input control region analysis of the user interface for the selected test target software to generate a second test case base table, and the test case base table and the second test case base table. Preferably, the method further includes comparing the variation of the input control region with each other.

In the input control region variation checking step, it is preferable to compare the test case basis table with the second test case basis table to identify any one of addition, deletion, and change of the input control region.

In the test case base table generation step, when the user interface input control region is generated in consideration of hierarchy, it is preferable to generate the test case base table with reference to the corresponding hierarchical structure.

In the test case base table generation step, during test software execution, it is preferable to execute the test case creation software and select the test target software using the analysis icon of the test case creation software.

According to the present invention, the input type of the analysis target software infant (UI) can be easily grasped, and test items for each input control area may be prepared in advance to provide basic information for deriving a test case.

In addition, by comparing the results of the previous analysis with the results of the new analysis, it is easy to see the change history of the UI input control area, which is useful for managing test cases, and through the previous test case extraction results and the new test case extraction results, By tracking and identifying the UI input control area, it is easy to identify the work task according to the change.

In addition, the design and analysis time for the UI test can be shortened, and more various tests can be performed.

The test case generating unit 106 may be executed and may be executed in a personal computer.

When the test target software is selected, the UI analyzer 102 analyzes the input control region in the user interface of the selected test target software to generate a test case basis table.

In this case, the UI analyzer 102 may execute the test case generation software while executing the test target software, and select the test target software using the analysis icon of the test case creation software.

In addition, when the user interface input control region is generated in consideration of a hierarchy, the UI analyzer 102 may generate a test case base table by referring to the corresponding hierarchical structure.

The test item storage unit 104 for each UI control area stores the test item set in advance for each input control area of the user interface.

The test case generating unit 106 generates a test case by substituting a test item for each input control region previously stored in the test case base table generated by the input control region analysis of the user interface to the test target software.

On the other hand, the automatic user interface analysis module according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a change detection unit (not shown), the input control region analysis of the user interface for the software under test through the UI analysis unit 102 is re-performed When the second test case foundation table is generated, the change of the input control region may be grasped by comparing the test case foundation table with the second test case foundation table.

In this case, the variation detecting unit may compare any of the test case base table and the second test case base table to determine any one of addition, deletion, and change of the input control area.

A test case generation method through automatic user interface analysis according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

1. Run the software you want to test.

2. Run the test case generation software according to the present invention.

3. Drag the analysis icon of the test case creation software that has been executed and drop it onto the software under test. Alternatively, select the analysis menu of the test case generation software and specify a test target to be analyzed.

4. The UI analysis unit starts the analysis and analyzes the UI of the target software to be tested (for example, the RBC program can be analyzed).

5. Analysis is completed, and a basic test case (test case basis table) including information of each input control area of the UI is automatically generated.

6. Save the generated basic test case.

7. After the UI change is made, perform the above steps 1 to 6 again.

8. Compare the basic test case drawn with the newly created basic test case (for example, you can identify the change history as the item itself is added / deleted or the value you enter is added / deleted). )

9. Applying a predefined test item according to the type of each input control area can automatically derive a test case.
