Design And Implementation Of A Keyword-driven-based Automatic Configuration Method For Operations And Maitenance Center

With the rapid development of communications technology, automated testing has become more and more important which could enhance the quality of the software products. GUI (Graphical User Interface) is the main part of software systems, and the GUI testing can both make availability and functionality testing of software systems come true. Keyword-driven test framework compare with the traditional not only can improve the test script reusable effectively and better to be maintained and more transplantable, but also can capture and sava and input the data of GUI, then implement automatic data configuration. Therefore, design such system based on keyword-driven has important significance for reduce quantity of labors, improving efficiency and the accuracy of configuration data.The design of system selects Java as the Integrated Development Environment after analysed current status of configuration, designed a suit of scripts through the Automatic Test System what could make data extracted and configuration automatically. The data configuration depended handwork or fixed data script in the past, so these all difficult to meet the requirements. In addition, the one which fixed data is hard to transplant, and be influenced by the GUI changes of system. Thus, we provided a reasonable solution which could make the system base on keyword-driven testing framework.In the specific design and implementation of this method, the whole process is divided into four main steps, including capture the data on GUI, save the data, driving the data to be the parameter of keywords and enter the data into the new system. When the method is running, there is different data processed between BSC (Base Station Controller) and BTS (Base Transceiver Station). On the side of BSC, the mode of data extraction according to function points, but using template on another. Storing extracted data follows special business logic, reading data ordinally, driving the corresponding keyword one by one, the whole course made system configuration seemed clear. Actual data ensure the accuracy, not only reducing human source, but also making the maintainability easier. At the same time, the scripts get more transplantable. Keyword-driven testing framework meets the requirements of BSC with complex data and plenty of BTS very well in testing environment and fully guaranteed testing task effectively.
