Description

電腦測試方法 Computer test method

本發明涉及一種電腦測試方法，特別涉及更新多個不同版本的基本輸入輸出系統(Basic Input Output System，BIOS)的電腦測試方法。 The invention relates to a computer testing method, in particular to a computer testing method for updating multiple different versions of Basic Input Output System (Basic Input Output System, BIOS).

基本輸入輸出系統(Basic Input Output System，BIOS)在電腦系統中，是在通電啟動階段，執行硬體初始化，以及為作業系統和程式提供運行時服務的韌體。BIOS是電腦系統在載入過程中最基本的韌體，其主要功能是在開機時進行開機自我測試(Power On Self Test，POST)，以初始化電腦系統內的硬體裝置，測試硬體元件的狀態是否正常，以及從大容量儲存裝置如硬碟，載入啟動程式，並由啟動程式載入作業系統。BIOS的程式碼通常保存在電腦系統之主機板的非揮發性記憶體(Nonvolatile Memory)中。 Basic Input Output System (BIOS) is a firmware in a computer system that performs hardware initialization and provides runtime services for operating systems and programs during the power-on phase. The BIOS is the most basic firmware of the computer system during the loading process. Its main function is to perform a Power On Self Test (POST) at startup to initialize the hardware device in the computer system and test the hardware components. Whether the status is normal, and the startup program is loaded from a mass storage device such as a hard disk, and the startup program is loaded into the operating system. The BIOS code is usually stored in the nonvolatile memory of the motherboard of the computer system.

電腦會因為不同客戶的需求而進行硬體裝置初始化的變更，需要對BIOS韌體碼進行修改，而衍生出許多不同版本的BIOS韌體碼。此外，電腦系統生產廠商為了電腦系統的效能需求及穩定度，時常進行BIOS的版本調整，而且進行BIOS版本的升級/降級壓力測試。若測試人員必須以手動方式進行不同版本BIOS的循環更新及開機驗證，才能從中判斷此版本的BIOS韌體碼是否穩定，且在不同版本BIOS的更新過程中，不斷驗證BIOS韌體，則將耗費大量的人力資源。 因此，如何讓電腦系統可自行執行不同版本BIOS的更新，自行執行不同版本BIOS的測試，並可在出現錯誤時能夠即時告知系統管理者，便是在BIOS更新技術中所欲解決的問題。 The computer will change the initialization of the hardware device according to the needs of different customers. The BIOS firmware code needs to be modified, and many different versions of the BIOS firmware code are derived. In addition, computer system manufacturers often adjust the BIOS version for the performance requirements and stability of the computer system, and also perform BIOS upgrade/downgrade stress tests. If the tester has to manually perform the cyclic update and boot verification of different versions of the BIOS, it can determine whether the BIOS firmware code of this version is stable, and continuously verify the BIOS firmware during the update process of different versions of the BIOS, it will cost A lot of human resources. Therefore, how to enable the computer system to perform the update of different versions of the BIOS and the test of the different versions of the BIOS on its own, and to promptly notify the system administrator when an error occurs, is the problem to be solved in the BIOS update technology.

實施例提供一種電腦測試方法，包括設定測試電腦的基本輸入輸出系統更新所包含的第一組韌體及第一組韌體的版本資訊，測試電腦使用第一組韌體進行基本輸入輸出系統的第一更新，其於第一更新成功時會將第一組韌體的版本資訊寫入測試電腦之非揮發性記憶體，測試電腦將第一組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第一資訊比對，測試電腦執行預啟動執行環境程序，測試電腦使用由執行預啟動執行環境程序取得之第二組韌體進行基本輸入輸出系統的第二更新，其於第二更新成功時會將第二組韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體，及測試電腦將第二組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第二資訊比對。 The embodiment provides a computer testing method, including setting the basic input and output system of the test computer to update the included first set of firmware and the version information of the first set of firmware. The test computer uses the first set of firmware for the basic input and output system. The first update, which writes the version information of the first set of firmware to the non-volatile memory of the test computer when the first update is successful, the test computer stores the version information of the first set of firmware in the non-volatile memory The first version of the information of the corresponding firmware of the firmware is compared, the test computer executes the pre-boot execution environment program, and the test computer uses the second set of firmware obtained by executing the pre-boot execution environment program for the second update of the basic input and output system. , When the second update is successful, the version information of the second set of firmware is written to the non-volatile memory, and the test computer stores the version information of the second set of firmware and the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory Version information for the second information comparison.

測試電腦101至103可使用各自之第一組韌體進行BIOS的第一更新，之後伺服器105可接收測試電腦101至103的第一更新的結果並通知系統管理者110。在測試電腦101至103根據各自之第一組韌體執行BIOS的第一更新時，測試電腦101至103可將各自之第一組韌體更新至非揮發性記憶體106至108內。當測試電腦101、102、103各自之第一組韌體全部都成功更新至非揮發性記憶體106、107、108時，測試電腦101、102、103之第一更新即成功，第一更新成功之測試電腦101、102、103可將各自之第一組韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108。當測試電腦101至103各自之第一組韌體中至少一者未成功更新至非揮發性記憶體106至108時，其對應之第一更新即失敗，第一更新失敗之測試電腦101、102、103不會將其第一組韌體的版本資訊中更新失敗之韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108，僅會將更新成功之韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108，因此非揮發性記憶體106、107、108仍保留先前BIOS之BIOS版本資訊之至少一部分。例如，若測試電腦101的第一組韌體包含5個韌體，且5個韌體中之3個韌體更新成功，2個韌體更新失敗，測試電腦101可將更新成功之3個韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106而不將更新失敗之2個韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106。測試電腦101至103可將各自之第一組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106至108之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第一資訊比對，若不完全相符，則第一資訊比對失敗，且對應之測試電腦101至103發出第一通知訊息給伺服器105。若測試電腦101至103各自之第一組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106至108之對應韌體的版本資訊完全相符，則第一資訊比對成功。 The test computers 101 to 103 can use the respective first set of firmware to perform the first BIOS update, and then the server 105 can receive the results of the first update of the test computers 101 to 103 and notify the system administrator 110. When the test computers 101 to 103 perform the first update of the BIOS according to the respective first set of firmware, the test computers 101 to 103 can update the respective first set of firmware into the non-volatile memory 106 to 108. When all the first firmware of the test computers 101, 102, and 103 are successfully updated to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, and 108, the first update of the test computers 101, 102, and 103 is successful, and the first update is successful The test computers 101, 102, 103 can write the version information of the first set of firmware to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108. When at least one of the first sets of firmware of the test computers 101 to 103 is not successfully updated to the non-volatile memory 106 to 108, the corresponding first update fails, and the test computers 101 and 102 that failed the first update , 103 will not write the version information of the firmware that failed to update in the version information of its first set of firmware into the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108, only the version information of the firmware that has been updated successfully will be written to the non-volatile memory The volatile memory 106, 107, 108, so the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108 still retains at least a part of the BIOS version information of the previous BIOS. For example, if the first set of firmware of the test computer 101 includes 5 firmwares, and 3 of the 5 firmwares are successfully updated, and 2 firmware updates fail, the test computer 101 can update the 3 firmwares that were successfully updated The version information of the body is written to the non-volatile memory 106 without writing the version information of the two firmwares that failed to update to the non-volatile memory 106. The test computers 101 to 103 can compare the version information of the respective first set of firmware with the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106 to 108. If they do not completely match, the first The information comparison fails, and the corresponding test computers 101 to 103 send a first notification message to the server 105. If the version information of the first set of firmware of each of the test computers 101 to 103 completely matches the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106 to 108, the first information comparison is successful.

接著，測試電腦101至103可使用預啟動執行環境(Preboot Execution Environment，PXE)執行電腦啟動。PXE是工作於用戶端以及伺服器(Client/Server)的網路模式，提供了一種使用網路介面(Network Interface)，用戶端電腦可由PXE伺服器下載開機影像檔案，啟動電腦的機制。這種機制讓電腦的啟動可以不依賴本地資料儲存裝置(如硬碟)或本機已安裝的作業系統。 Then, the test computers 101 to 103 can use a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) to perform computer startup. PXE is a network mode that works on the client and the server (Client/Server). It provides a mechanism for using a network interface (Network Interface). The client computer can download the boot image file from the PXE server to start the computer. This mechanism allows the computer to start without relying on local data storage devices (such as hard drives) or the operating system installed on the machine.

測試電腦101至103可下載各自之開機影像檔案後再使用各自之開機影像檔案執行BIOS的第二更新，並執行第二資訊比對。開機影像檔案包含第二組韌體，可與第一組韌體全部相同、部分相同，或全部不同。在測試電腦101至103根據各自之第二組韌體執行BIOS的第二更新時，測試電腦101至103可將各自之第二組韌體更新至非揮發性記憶體106至108內。當測試電腦101、102、103各自之第二組韌體全部都成功更新至非揮發性記憶體106、107、108時，測試電腦101、102、103各自之第二更新即成功，第二更新成功之測試電腦101、102、103可將各自之第二組韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108。當測試電腦106、107、108各自之第二組韌體中至少一者未成功更新至非揮發性記憶體106、107、108時，其對應之第二更新即失敗，第二更新失敗之測試電腦101、102、103不會將各自之第二組韌體的版本資訊中更新失敗之韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108，僅會將更新成功之韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106、107、108，因此非揮發性記憶體106、107、108仍保留先前BIOS之BIOS版本資訊之至少一部分。在一個實施例中，測試電腦101使用PXE執行BIOS更新，由PXE伺服器下載開機影像檔案，因此測試電腦101須執行第二資訊比對。測試電腦101至103可將各自之第二組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106至108之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第二資訊比對，若不完全相符，則第二資訊比對 失敗，且對應之測試電腦101至103發出第二通知訊息給伺服器105。若測試電腦101至103各自之第二組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106至108之對應韌體的版本資訊完全相符，則第二資訊比對成功。 The test computers 101 to 103 can download the respective boot image files, and then use the respective boot image files to perform the second BIOS update and perform the second information comparison. The boot image file contains the second set of firmware, which may be the same as the first set of firmware, partially the same, or all different. When the test computers 101 to 103 perform the second BIOS update according to the respective second set of firmware, the test computers 101 to 103 can update the respective second set of firmware into the non-volatile memory 106 to 108. When all the second firmware of the test computers 101, 102, and 103 are successfully updated to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, and 108, the second update of the test computers 101, 102, and 103 is successful, and the second update Successful test computers 101, 102, and 103 can write the version information of the respective second set of firmware to non-volatile memory 106, 107, and 108. When at least one of the second sets of firmware of the test computers 106, 107, 108 is not successfully updated to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108, the corresponding second update fails, and the second update fails the test The computers 101, 102, and 103 will not write the version information of the firmware that failed to update from the version information of the second set of firmware to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, and 108. The version information is written to the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108, so the non-volatile memory 106, 107, 108 still retains at least a part of the BIOS version information of the previous BIOS. In one embodiment, the test computer 101 uses PXE to perform the BIOS update, and the PXE server downloads the boot image file, so the test computer 101 must perform the second information comparison. The test computers 101 to 103 can compare the version information of the respective second set of firmware with the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106 to 108. If they do not completely match, the second Information comparison It fails, and the corresponding test computers 101 to 103 send a second notification message to the server 105. If the version information of the second set of firmware of each of the test computers 101 to 103 completely matches the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106 to 108, the second information comparison is successful.

在一些實施例中，測試電腦101至103可於進行第一資訊比對之後執行預啟動執行環境程序。在另一些實施例中，測試電腦101至103可於第一資訊比對成功之後執行該預啟動執行環境程序，及於第一資訊比對失敗之後停止BIOS之更新。在另一些實施例中，測試電腦101至103可於進行第二資訊比對之後進行第一更新。在另一些實施例中，測試電腦101至103可於第二資訊比對成功之後進行第一更新，及於第二資訊比對失敗之後停止BIOS之更新。 In some embodiments, the test computers 101 to 103 may execute the pre-boot execution environment program after performing the first information comparison. In other embodiments, the test computers 101 to 103 may execute the pre-boot execution environment program after the first information comparison is successful, and stop the BIOS update after the first information comparison fails. In other embodiments, the test computers 101 to 103 may perform the first update after performing the second information comparison. In other embodiments, the test computers 101 to 103 may perform the first update after the second information comparison succeeds, and stop the BIOS update after the second information comparison fails.

若第二資訊比對成功，測試電腦101至103可開始執行BIOS自動測試。BIOS自動測試包含數個項目，以及不同的工作模式如系統正常供電模式、系統低電源模式、系統待機模式、系統休眠模式等。在測試過程中若發生測試錯誤，測試電腦101至103可自動發出通知訊息到伺服器105，伺服器105再通知通知系統管理者110，如使用電子郵件(EMAIL)通知系統管理者110。測試電腦101至103執行完BIOS自動測試後，將測試結果檔案上傳至伺服器105，且由伺服器105通知系統管理者110。 If the second information comparison is successful, the test computers 101 to 103 can start to execute the BIOS automatic test. The BIOS automatic test includes several items, as well as different working modes such as normal system power supply mode, system low power mode, system standby mode, system sleep mode, etc. If a test error occurs during the test, the test computers 101 to 103 can automatically send a notification message to the server 105, and then the server 105 notifies the system administrator 110, such as email (EMAIL) to notify the system administrator 110. After performing the automatic BIOS test, the test computers 101 to 103 upload the test result file to the server 105, and the server 105 notifies the system manager 110.

測試電腦101至103可根據需求，個別執行相同，或個別執行不同的BIOS更新。用戶端電腦101至103上同時執行客戶A的BIOS版本2.1之系統測試、壓力測試，或分別在用戶端電腦101至103執行客戶A的BIOS的版本2.1.0、版本2.1.1、版本2.1.2之系統測試，目的為不同版本的可靠度測試。 The test computers 101 to 103 can perform the same individually or perform different BIOS updates individually according to requirements.

The test computer 101 is taken as an example for description below. The method of FIG. 3 includes the following steps: Step S302: Set the first set of firmware and version information of the first set of firmware included in the BIOS update of the test computer 101; Step S304: Test the computer 101 using the first set of firmware The first update of the BIOS will write the version information of the first set of firmware to the non-volatile memory 106 when the first update is successful; Step S306: the test computer 101 stores the version information of the first set of firmware in Perform a first information comparison of the version information of the corresponding firmware of the non-volatile memory 106, and if the first information comparison is incorrect, send a first notification message to the server 105; Step S308: The test computer 101 executes the pre-boot execution environment program Step S310: The test computer 101 uses the second set of firmware obtained by executing the pre-boot execution environment program to perform the second BIOS update. When the second update is successful, the version information of the second set of firmware is written to the non-volatile Memory 106; Step S312: The test computer 101 compares the version information of the second set of firmware with the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106, if the second information is incorrect Then, a second notification message is sent to the server 105; step S314: the test computer 101 performs the BIOS automatic test; and step S316: the test computer 101 uploads the test result file to the server 105, and the server 105 notifies the system administrator 110.

在步驟S302，系統管理者110可使用軟體介面程式(user interface application)，設定BIOS更新所包含的第一組韌體的版本資訊，包含至少一韌體和至少一韌體版本號碼、以及設定管理引擎(Intel Management Engine)和管理引擎版 本號碼。舉例說明，系統管理者110欲更新測試電腦101的BIOS，系統管理者110使用軟體介面程式201輸入：測試電腦101，以及更新韌體包含，診斷程式和版本3.10、安全更新和版本2.1.0、以及管理引擎(Intel Management Engine)和版本2.2.0。接著軟體介面程式201根據第一組韌體的版本資訊產生BIOS更新的第一組韌體，第一組韌體包含：診斷程式使用版本3.10、安全更新使用版本2.1.0、以及Intel ME使用版本2.2.0，且軟體介面程式將產生BIOS版本資訊230包含：診斷程式3.10、安全更新2.1.0、Intel ME 2.2.0。 In step S302, the system administrator 110 may use a user interface application to set the version information of the first set of firmware included in the BIOS update, including at least one firmware and at least one firmware version number, and configuration management Engine (Intel Management Engine) and Management Engine Edition This number. For example, the system administrator 110 wants to update the BIOS of the test computer 101. The system administrator 110 uses the software interface program 201 to input: test the computer 101, and update the firmware including, diagnostic programs and version 3.10, security updates and version 2.1.0, And the management engine (Intel Management Engine) and version 2.2.0. Next, the software interface program 201 generates the first firmware of the BIOS update based on the version information of the first firmware. The first firmware includes: diagnostic program version 3.10, security update version 2.1.0, and Intel ME version 2.2.0, and the software interface program will generate BIOS version information 230 including: diagnostic program 3.10, security update 2.1.0, Intel ME 2.2.0.

在步驟S304，測試電腦101使用第一組韌體進行BIOS的第一更新，將第一組韌體更新至測試電腦101的非揮發性記憶體106上，並於第一更新成功後在非揮發性記憶體106儲存第一組韌體的版本資訊。在第一更新之過程有至少一韌體版本更新失敗時，測試電腦101發出第三通知訊息經由伺服器105給系統管理者110。舉例說明，更新第一組韌體至測試電腦101，其中安全更新版本2.1.0、以及Intel ME版本2.2.0成功更新至非揮發性記憶體106中，但診斷程式版本3.10的更新卻失敗，測試電腦101則發出第三通知訊息經由伺服器105給系統管理者110，由系統管理者110再至測試電腦101解決問題。在本例子中，由於安全更新版本2.1.0以及Intel ME版本2.2.0更新成功，因此測試電腦101的非揮發性記憶體106(例如快閃記憶體)上儲存安全更新版本2.1.0以及Intel ME版本2.2.0。因此無須再重新更新已成功更新之韌體，僅需更新失敗的診斷程式版本3.10。 In step S304, the test computer 101 uses the first set of firmware to perform the first BIOS update, update the first set of firmware to the non-volatile memory 106 of the test computer 101, and after the first update is successful, the non-volatile memory The sex memory 106 stores version information of the first set of firmware. When at least one firmware version fails to be updated during the first update process, the test computer 101 sends a third notification message to the system administrator 110 via the server 105. For example, the first set of firmware was updated to the test computer 101. The security update version 2.1.0 and Intel ME version 2.2.0 were successfully updated to the non-volatile memory 106, but the update of the diagnostic program version 3.10 failed. The test computer 101 sends a third notification message to the system manager 110 via the server 105, and then the system manager 110 goes to the test computer 101 to solve the problem. In this example, since the security update version 2.1.0 and Intel ME version 2.2.0 were successfully updated, the non-volatile memory 106 (such as flash memory) of the test computer 101 stores the security update version 2.1.0 and Intel ME version 2.2.0. Therefore, there is no need to re-update the firmware that has been successfully updated, just update the failed diagnostic program version 3.10.

步驟S306，測試電腦101將第一組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第一資訊比對。若第一資訊比對失敗，即韌體版本有所不同，則發出第一通知訊息經由伺服器105給系統管理者110。承以上所舉之例子，測試電腦101由非揮發性記憶體106讀取對應韌體的韌體版本資 訊，並與第一組韌體的版本資訊，例如與診斷程式3.10、安全更新2.1.0、Intel ME 2.2.0的版本資訊相比。當診斷程式、安全更新、Intel ME的版本皆與非揮發性記憶體106所讀取的對應韌體的韌體版本號碼相同，則執行下一步驟S308。若否，則發出第一通知訊息經由伺服器105給系統管理者110，第一通知訊息內容包含比對失敗的韌體名稱以及對應的版本號碼。 In step S306, the test computer 101 compares the version information of the first set of firmware with the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106. If the first information comparison fails, that is, the firmware version is different, a first notification message is sent to the system administrator 110 via the server 105. Following the example given above, the test computer 101 reads the firmware version information of the corresponding firmware from the non-volatile memory 106 Information, and compare it with the version information of the first set of firmware, such as the version information of diagnostic program 3.10, security update 2.1.0, Intel ME 2.2.0. When the version of the diagnostic program, security update, and Intel ME are all the same as the firmware version number of the corresponding firmware read by the non-volatile memory 106, the next step S308 is executed. If not, a first notification message is sent to the system administrator 110 via the server 105. The content of the first notification message includes the name of the firmware that failed the comparison and the corresponding version number.

步驟S308，測試電腦101測試區域網路連接埠(LAN Port)，區域網路連接埠之測試成功後，連接網路，並執行預啟動執行環境程序。預啟動執行環境提供了一種使用網路介面啟動電腦的機制，這種機制讓電腦的啟動可以不依賴本地資料儲存裝置(如硬碟)或已安裝的作業系統。如第4圖所示，測試電腦101向動態主機配置協定(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol,DHCP)伺服器402提出請求，DHCP伺服器402收到測試電腦101的第一請求401後，即送出第一回應403，包含IP資訊以及簡易檔案傳送協定(Trivial File Transfer Protocol,TFTP)伺服器405的IP位址，測試電腦101收到第一回應403後，則使用TFTP伺服器405的IP位址以及向TFTP伺服器405送出第二請求404。TFTP伺服器405收到第二請求404後，送出第二回應406，包含開機影像檔案以及遠端版本資訊，測試電腦101將開機影像檔案及遠端版本資訊儲存至測試電腦101的隨機存取記憶體(random access memory,RAM)上。開機影像檔案可包含第二組韌體。遠端版本資訊可包含韌體版本號碼以及管理引擎版本號碼。在本實施例中，開機影像檔案可以是BIOS相關的韌體以及管理引擎、和/或包含作業系統的軟體。DHCP伺服器402及TFTP伺服器405可為分開或整合之伺服器，例如整合於PXE伺服器內。 In step S308, the test computer 101 tests the LAN port. After the LAN port test is successful, connect to the network and execute the pre-boot execution environment process. The pre-boot execution environment provides a mechanism for starting a computer using a network interface. This mechanism allows the computer to start independently of local data storage devices (such as hard drives) or installed operating systems. As shown in FIG. 4, the test computer 101 makes a request to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server 402. After receiving the first request 401 from the test computer 101, the DHCP server 402 sends a first response 403, including IP information and the IP address of the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server 405. After receiving the first response 403, the test computer 101 uses the IP address of the TFTP server 405 and sends it to TFTP The server 405 sends a second request 404. After receiving the second request 404, the TFTP server 405 sends a second response 406, including the boot image file and the remote version information. The test computer 101 stores the boot image file and the remote version information in the random access memory of the test computer 101. (Random access memory, RAM). The boot image file may contain the second set of firmware. The remote version information may include the firmware version number and the management engine version number. In this embodiment, the boot image file may be BIOS-related firmware and management engine, and/or software including an operating system. The DHCP server 402 and the TFTP server 405 may be separate or integrated servers, for example, integrated in a PXE server.

步驟S310中，測試電腦101使用由執行預啟動執行環境程序取得之第二組韌體進行BIOS的第二更新以將第二組韌體更新至非揮發性記憶體106上，其 於第二更新成功時會將第二組韌體的版本資訊寫入非揮發性記憶體106。當更新過程中，有至少一韌體版本更新失敗時，測試電腦101發出第四通知訊息經由伺服器105給系統管理者110。 In step S310, the test computer 101 uses the second set of firmware obtained by executing the pre-boot execution environment program to perform a second BIOS update to update the second set of firmware to the non-volatile memory 106. When the second update is successful, the version information of the second set of firmware is written to the non-volatile memory 106. When at least one firmware version fails to be updated during the update process, the test computer 101 sends a fourth notification message to the system administrator 110 via the server 105.

步驟S312，測試電腦101將第二組韌體的版本資訊與儲存於非揮發性記憶體106之對應韌體的版本資訊進行第二資訊比對。若第二資訊比對錯誤，即韌體版本有所不同，則發出第二通知訊息給伺服器105，再由伺服器105通知系統管理者110。 In step S312, the test computer 101 compares the version information of the second set of firmware with the version information of the corresponding firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 106. If the second information comparison is incorrect, that is, the firmware version is different, a second notification message is sent to the server 105, and then the server 105 notifies the system administrator 110.

步驟S314，倘若測試電腦101已經完成BIOS更新，即可開始執行BIOS自動測試，在本實施例中，測試電腦101定義不同模式執行BIOS測試，該模式包含：系統正常供電模式、系統低電源模式、系統待機模式及系統休眠模式。BIOS執行自動測試另包括，測試電腦101使用外接電源執行不同模式的BIOS自動測試項目，以及測試電腦101使用內接電池執行不同模式的BIOS自動測試項目。在一個實施例中，如第5圖所示，第5圖為實施例BIOS自動測試的流程圖。BIOS自動測試流程500可包括：外接電源系統正常供電模式502、外接電源系統低電源模式504、外接電源系統待機模式506、外接電源系統休眠模式508、內接電池系統正常供電模式510、內接電池系統低電源模式512、內接電池系統待機模式514及/或內接電池系統休眠模式516。 Step S314, if the test computer 101 has completed the BIOS update, it can start to perform the BIOS automatic test. In this embodiment, the test computer 101 defines different modes to execute the BIOS test, the modes include: normal system power supply mode, system low power mode, System standby mode and system sleep mode. The execution of the BIOS automatic test also includes the test computer 101 using an external power supply to perform different modes of BIOS automatic test items, and the test computer 101 using an internal battery to perform different modes of BIOS automatic test items. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the BIOS automatic test of the embodiment. The BIOS automatic test process 500 may include: an external power system normal power mode 502, an external power system low power mode 504, an external power system standby mode 506, an external power system sleep mode 508, an internal battery system normal power mode 510, an internal battery System low power mode 512, internal battery system standby mode 514 and/or internal battery system sleep mode 516.

在本實施例中，BIOS自動測試，由測試電腦101讀取批次檔(batch)，並根據批次檔產生BIOS自動測試項目。批次檔根據第一組韌體的版本資訊及/或第二組韌體的版本資訊，由其中的韌體名稱以及版本號碼，產生BIOS自動測試項目。在一個例子中，系統管理者110可輸入BIOS個別韌體的預設測試項目，如 診斷程式的預設測試項目，安全更新的預設測試項目等。當測試電腦101的BIOS更新成功後，批次檔根據第一組韌體的版本資訊及/或第二組韌體的版本資訊，得到本次BIOS更新包含診斷程式的更新以及管理引擎的更新，因此，批次檔自動載入診斷程式的預設測試項目以及管理引擎的預設測試項目以產生BIOS自動測試項目。如第6圖所示，檔案602為系統管理者110所儲存BIOS個別韌體的數個預設測試項目，包含診斷程式的預設測試項目604、安全更新的預設測試項目606、管理引擎的預設測試項目608等。批次檔620根據第一組韌體的版本資訊及/或第二組韌體的版本資訊，得到此次更新包含：診斷程式的更新以及管理引擎的更新。批次檔620再由檔案602讀取BIOS個別韌體的預設測試項目，由批次檔620產生BIOS自動測試項目630包含診斷程式的預設測試項目604以及管理引擎的預設測試項目608。 In this embodiment, in the BIOS automatic test, the test computer 101 reads a batch file and generates a BIOS automatic test item according to the batch file. The batch file generates BIOS automatic test items from the firmware name and version number in the first group of firmware version information and/or the second group of firmware version information. In one example, the system administrator 110 can input the default test items of the individual firmware of the BIOS, such as Default test items for diagnostic programs, default test items for security updates, etc. After the BIOS update of the test computer 101 is successful, the batch file obtains this BIOS update including diagnostic program updates and management engine updates based on the first set of firmware version information and/or the second set of firmware version information. Therefore, the batch file automatically loads the default test items of the diagnostic program and the default test items of the management engine to generate BIOS automatic test items. As shown in FIG. 6, the file 602 is a few default test items of the individual firmware of the BIOS stored by the system administrator 110, including the default test items 604 of the diagnostic program, the default test items 606 of the security update, and the management engine’s Preset test items 608 and so on. The batch file 620 obtains this update according to the version information of the first set of firmware and/or the version information of the second set of firmware: update of the diagnostic program and update of the management engine. The batch file 620 reads the default test items of the individual firmware of the BIOS from the file 602, and the batch file 620 generates the BIOS automatic test items 630 including the default test items 604 of the diagnostic program and the default test items 608 of the management engine.

步驟S316，測試電腦101執行BIOS自動測試完成後，將測試結果檔案上傳至伺服器105，且伺服器105通知系統管理者110。在一個實施例中，測試電腦101在BIOS自動測試過程中，若發生系統錯誤，測試電腦101可將發生錯誤之測試結果即時回報至伺服器105。伺服器105可定義不同的嚴重程度(severity)。若系統錯誤為不影響後續的系統測試，則定義為低嚴重程度，如檔案不存在等，此時發生系統錯誤的測試電腦101將發生錯誤之測試結果即時回報至伺服器105後，還可以繼續執行後續的BIOS自動測試。若系統錯誤為高嚴重程度，如藍白當機畫面(Blue Screen Of Death)時，則發生系統錯誤的測試電腦101停止BIOS自動測試，且將測試結果即時回報至伺服器105。伺服器105將發生錯誤之測試結果即時通知系統管理者110，以幫助系統管理者110快速排除測試電腦101的問題。當測試電腦101執行BIOS自動測試成功完成後，伺服器105亦可算出測試電腦101的執行時間，再將執行時間一起跟測試結果通知系統管理者110。 In step S316, the test computer 101 uploads the test result file to the server 105 after the BIOS automatic test is completed, and the server 105 notifies the system manager 110. In one embodiment, if a system error occurs during the BIOS automatic test of the test computer 101, the test computer 101 can report the test result of the error to the server 105 in real time. The server 105 can define different severities. If the system error does not affect the subsequent system test, it is defined as low severity, such as the file does not exist, etc. At this time, the test computer 101 with the system error will report the error test result to the server 105 in real time, and you can continue Perform subsequent automatic BIOS test. If the system error is of high severity, such as the Blue and White screen of death (Blue Screen Of Death), the test computer 101 with the system error stops the BIOS automatic test and reports the test result to the server 105 in real time. The server 105 notifies the system administrator 110 of the test result of the error in real time, so as to help the system administrator 110 quickly eliminate the problem of the test computer 101. After the test computer 101 successfully executes the BIOS automatic test, the server 105 can also calculate the execution time of the test computer 101, and then notify the system administrator 110 of the execution time together with the test result.

實施例提供一種電腦測試方法，包括設定測試電腦的BIOS更新所包含的至少一韌體版本並儲存BIOS版本資訊。多個測試電腦可根據需求，個別執行相同，或個別執行不同的BIOS更新。測試電腦執行第一版本更新BIOS。測試電腦執行第一資訊比對，比對BIOS是否成功更新，錯誤則發出第一通知訊息給系統管理者。測試電腦並可以執行預啟動執行環境程序來達成BIOS更新。預啟動執行環境可同時更新數個測試電腦的BIOS。個別的測試電腦並執行第二資訊比對，比對BIOS是否成功更新。成功後，測試電腦開始執行BIOS自動測試，並將測試結果檔案上傳至伺服器，伺服器再通知系統管理者。系統管理者可即時得知數個測試電腦的BIOS更新以及BIOS自動測試結果。若測試電腦在BIOS自動測試時遇到嚴重之系統錯誤問題，導致測試停止，系統管理者也可即時得知即時處裡。 The embodiment provides a computer testing method, including setting at least one firmware version included in the BIOS update of the testing computer and storing the BIOS version information. Multiple test computers can execute the same individually or perform different BIOS updates individually as required. The test computer executes the first version to update the BIOS.
