Abstract

This paper presents a four-layer framework for distributed software test automation, which is composed of test component layer, test component management layer, test scheduling layer and test domain layer. According to the target of testing, the problem space of software test divide into several feature tests, and each feature test is composed of a group of test cases. Employing the thought of software component, we create each test case as a component and then construct the test component library for a special application’s test. During testing, with component management tools, the test engineer can select the proper test components manually or automatically according to the testing target. Then, these testing components are scheduled by the Harness automatically. Finally, the testing result reports are generated automatically, thus the test for a certain testing target is completed. With its good flexibility and scalability, this framework has been successfully applied to the system test of a distributed software.
