Research On The Rule Engine-based Test Cases Extraction And Maintenance

Software testing is to ensure that software quality and reliability of the major means of software testing the workload of the general development of software for the 40 to 60 percent, while the tests are very suitable for the majority of the use of automated testing methods. Automated test can improve the testing process of systematic and planned, large-scale testing to improve efficiency and reduce testing costs, and is conducive to regression testing.This paper discusses the rules-based engine test case extract and preserve the basic theory and related concepts, the study of the current popular J2EE-based lightweight framework and rules engine , and design an architecture based on Flex + Spring + Drools + Hibernate. This architecture designed to fully reflect the hierarchical thinking.The layered structure of the system significantly improve the system scalability and maintainability.A test case model rules, the transaction parameter model, the test case for the achievement and maintenance of extraction provide a solid theoretical foundation. A rule-based engine test case extraction and maintenance of software technology and applications using Java and Rete algorithm rules engine technology design and training of the rule-based engine test case extraction and maintenance. Application of the rules engine technology, significantly improve the maintainability of the test case and reusability, and other aspects of dwarfs. At the same time the introduction of rules engines, and can significantly improve the business rules for better software automatically generated test case application development efficiency. Practice has proved that this paper will propose the rules engine test case for the extraction of automated testing of major guiding significance and practical value.
