Test Automation Design And Implementation Based On WATIR And STAF

Along with the software quality requirement promotion, the software test is more and bigger in the software development proportion, also the automated test technology has become the test technological development inevitable direction. Because software product complication and structure day by day huge, the traditional pure dependence manual software test method was already unable to adapt the testing demand, urgent needed to introduce the automated test technology.This article elaborated in detail had been measured the system was the colony saved management software ISM (Integrated Storage Management) the portal frame construction, conducted the research to the WEB automation test. At present supports the best testing tool to the browser page test is WATIR (Web Application Testing In Ruby), WATIR is uses the ruby language realization to open the source web automation test frame, It uses IE the browser's the OLE connection to actuate on the html page to control to carry on the automated test. This test project test environment is the distributional storage system, therefore the test environment build and the correspondence also is important content of this test, The choice testing tool is STAF (Software Test Automation Framework) is one which researches and develops by IBM Corporation opens the source, the cross platform, supports the multi-languages the automated test frame, It concept which entrusts with heavy responsibility based on the module, tests the personnel through the service transfer help to omit the tedious cross platform the automated test frame construction work.This article first narrated the software test technology related knowledge and the theory, with emphasis introduced the automated frame script technology and the frame technology. Through analyzes each kind of technical the fit and unfit quality, the selection suits the script technology which this actual project the test needs, how then elaborates constructs the automated test frame.This article according to the actual project the characteristic, and unifies the test frame technology the principle and the main thought, designed a set to suit is measured the system the automated test frame, The frame has quoted the data actuation script way, forms the data resource pool, has realized the test with the example and the test data separation, simultaneously carries on the detailed introduction to the frame design main module and the key technologies. Through to the automated test frame's each module division and the realization, applies in the colony saves manages the software the automated test, carries on the lamination design in the frame actual utilization,the execution test case, thus enhanced the test script reusability, achieves the anticipated test effect. Finally analysis the test result, and to utilizes the effect and the automated test income carries on the appraisal.
