Study On The Feasibility Of Functional Regression Testing And Coordinated Test In Distributed Environment

As an important step in the quality assurance of software engineering, software testing is playing an increasingly important role in the whole life-cycle management of software. In this paper, the reusability of test case during the regression testing phase are classified and an evaluation method for the feasibility of software regression testing is presented, then the method is applied to evaluate a testing method named 'a rules-scenes driven method for the production and implementation of the cases'. It is proved that this evaluation method has a very important guidance meaning and practical value for the comparison of testing methods.At the same time, in order to be able to more easily implement functional test automation, we need achieve implementation efficiency of functional testing that based on coordinate support. This paper briefly introduces case dependence, then based on this we discuss some scheduling strategies of test cases, which provided the support of testing implementation in distributed environment. The prototype platform of coordinated test in distributed environment, which is based on Java Messaging Service, is implemented. Regarding the problem that testing nodes coordination cannot handle in distributed environment, the prototype platform presents a new method called 'proxy mechanism about the implementation of testing cases', which can thus improve the implementation efficiency of functional testing automation.
