The Test Design And Implementation Of Server And Storage Automation Management System

With the continuous development of cloud computing, the scale of data centers becomes very large.The technology to manage data center's servers and storages is constantly improving. Data center needs high quality servers and storages management software. With the development of technology, the scale and the complexity of management software is increasing. The quality of management software is more difficult to ensure. Software testing is a very important part of the software development cycle. It is an important means to ensure software quality. Only through completely and effectively testing, can we ensure software high reliability and high availability.The server and storage automation management system is an automation management solution to solve the difficulty of managing servers and storages in data center. It can manage servers and storages flexibility and automation. The system has numerous business and requires highly functional testing. Compared with general servers and storages management software, it has some new needs and characteristics. It's realization and management is different. So the test methods will be different too. It increases the challenge to the process of guarantee the quality of the system. In order to ensure that the system's functions are properly executed, we need to analyze the test requirements and design the test scheme according to the functional characteristics of the system.The paper is based on the test design and implementation of server and storage automation management system. First of all, the article analyzes the domestic and foreign research and development status of server and storage management software. It also analyzes the research status of software testing technology. What's more, it introduces the software testing basic principles and methods. It emphasizes the design principles and methods of functional test case. Then, it analyzes the principles and business of the system. Meanwhile, it combined the test requirements and characteristics of various functional modules to choose the right test case design methods. And then, it design detail tests case for some important features of the system based on the test requirements. What's more, it summarizes the test method of the system and propose a test case management program. Finally, it briefly describes the testing environment and the implementation of the test. It has ensured the quality of the system and analyzes the test results.The test process of the server and storage automation management system showed that, designing and writing the test cases according to the requirements specification is good for discovering a large number of flaws in design and implementation. It also can help testers to design more reasonable testing methods to find out more software defects and improve software quality by modifying the defect test. And then, it can achieve the need of users. What's more, it also showed that selecting an appropriate test method and effective management of test cases can improve the efficiency of software testing.
