Design And Implementation Of Remote Automated Testing System For BIOS

With the internationalization process of continuous development and BIOS(Basic Input /Output System) update iteration cycles continue to shorten. How to make BIOS testers are not limited to a specific location for BIOS testing and improve testing efficiency have become an issue of great concern to the industry production BIOS. Currently, although a few companies have use automated system to test BIOS, but this testing is not the so-called automated testing can not test BIOS with remote and it also needs to converge and manual test to test. For the inadequacies of the current testing system for BIOS, development of a remote BIOS automated test system can solve these problems.Remote BIOS automated test system via a cloud of controlling server, which can be a server, test host and test a motherboard with BIOS effectively linked to data on remote BIOS test automation and centralized management server. The system uses the traditional C/S architecture and Netty architecture with high concurrency as the communication architecture of the server. System in order to achieve remote BIOS test and centralized management background data in the cloud, a cloud command set has been definited, and the system uses a MySQL database server system as the persistence layer. Users enter the command line in the cloud not only allows remote BIOS automated testing functions, but also centralized management server test scripts, test tasks, test hosts, test jobs and test reports and other data. Process Systems Remote BIOS during automated testing, the test hosts will be distributed to run the test tasks by the system according to the idle of the test hosts.Peer functionality and performance aspects of the system by testing showed that the test target system are qualified. In reality, the system allows the use of testers can not get rid of the cross-border bound for BIOS automated testing, which not only provides a convenient BIOS testing for testers, but also enhance the work efficiency of the enterprises of various departments and for saving the great cost of test.
