Automatic Test Research Of B/S Architecture Software

Software test is one of the effective techniques to ensure software quality. Up to now, more and more test methods have been applied to increase the quality of software test itself, and automatic test is known as the most effective one to achieve the goal.This article mainly aims at the research of automatic test methods,which face to the B/S architecture software. The correct choice and utilization of test tools is the most important thing during 3 test phases, unit test, feature test and performance test.The first, at the phase of unit test (UT), Junit frame and Jprobe tool are chosen together to perform UT. By this way, not only test codes can be developed quickly with Junit frame, but also the coverage rate of source codes can be checked by Jprobe easily. Thus the efficiency and quality of UT will be promoted greatly. At the same time, servlets can be tested by Junit without interface windows.The second, at the phase of feature test (FT), we design testcases with the method of Object Oriented. And test-management tools are used to organize and perform all of the testcases, so that we can achieve automatic FT completely. Furthermore, when recording and debugging the test scripts with automatic tools, we should choose the appropriate checkpoint or data-driven methods to increase the robustness and reliability of the test scripts.The last, at the phase of performance test (PT), appropriate tools should be selected to replace manual test. LoadRunner is the best one for performance test of B/S software. And Shell scripts can assist LoadRunner to monitor the performance of the test objects simultaneously. In addition, PT steps are described in detail within this article.The author combines some instances into researching the software automatic test, which increases the practical value of this article.
