Design And Implementation Of Automated Testing Platform Of Network Storage

Network storage time is called the third IT tide. Now, the growth rate of information is beyond people's imagination. The datas generate in the next three years will exceed the datas since the sum of several thousand years. So, in order to accomplish storage products features test, we shall consider all these questions as follows; how to construct a complete network storage test suite, how to find an efficient test suite description language and how to design automate testing platform.As the background of automate test platform, network storage and software automation testing technology are analyzed as well. Associating with software automation testing technology, and the structure of network storage, automate test platform is implemented.This dissertation briefly introduces the background and significance of this project in foreword. Subsequently this dissertation analyses the basic composition, especially the structure of network storage, software automation testing technology, TCL scripting language and several tools which are usually used in test.According to the test background of network storage, analysis the needs of automate test platform. Framework of automate test platform is established according to the software automation testing principle. According to framework, the flow of performing of test scripts is designed.In this dissertation, the platform is partitioned into different modules by different functions, and their relationships are described. At last, implement of automate test platform in the form of software is discussed in detail, and give an application example of how automate test platform of network storage used to test.Our automate test platform of network storage has passed the function check successfully and it has many advantages, such as reducing cost of storage software regression test, increasing test efficiency. It is proved that the automate test platform is valuable.
