In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an automated testing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

step 110, determining the target device under test, the number of ports of the required tester, and the idle tester ports.

Step 120, determining a test path based on the target tested device, the number of ports of the required tester, the ports of the idle tester, a first mapping relation between the ports of the tester and the ports of the intermediate switches, a second mapping relation between the ports of the intermediate switches and the ports of the tested device, a third mapping relation between the ports of different intermediate switches and a preset rule; the test path comprises a target tester port, a target tested device port and a target intermediate switch port in the idle tester ports.

Step 130, configuring the target intermediate switch port for testing the target device under test, and setting the target tester port to a use state.

And 140, after the target tested device finishes testing, releasing the port of the target tester, setting the port of the target tester to be in an idle state, and clearing the configuration of the port of the target intermediate switch.

It should be noted that, firstly, the test unit topology shown in fig. 2 needs to be built to realize the automatic flexible scheduling of the tester ports. Specifically, all ports of the tester are evenly distributed according to the number of the intermediate switches and are connected with the intermediate switches, 6 cables are connected between the intermediate switches and the intermediate switches to serve as cascade paths, all tested devices are connected with one of the intermediate switches when being put on the shelf, and the PC control unit which can reach the ip of the row test unit executes the scheduling of the ports of the tester, so that the target tested devices can be accessed into the tester at any time for testing.

According to the test unit topology, mapping relations among the device ports can be established, a first mapping relation between the tester port and the intermediate switch port, a second mapping relation between the intermediate switch port and the tested device port and a third mapping relation between the different intermediate switches are stored in a database, and the port name of the tester port and the device name of the tested device are used as indexes.

Based on the mapping relation between the device ports, the optimal idle tester port and the corresponding test path can be automatically selected according to the preset rule for testing the target tested device. If a plurality of tested devices need to be tested continuously, the device names of the tested devices can be input in sequence, and the corresponding target tested devices can be determined to be tested according to the device names. The test mode comprises automatic test and manual test, if the manual test is needed, the tester and the target tested equipment can be directly logged in for testing; if the automatic test is needed, the automatic test of the function of the tested device is carried out, the port of the tester is released after the test is finished, the port of the tester is set to be in an idle state, the configuration of the intermediate switch is cleared, and if a plurality of switches need to be tested, the step of selecting the test path is continuously executed to establish the link layer access between the tester and the tested device.

The automatic test method provided by the invention realizes logical expansion of the tester ports by connecting a plurality of intermediate switches before the tester and the tested equipment, simultaneously automatically evaluates the use condition of the tester ports, selects the optimal idle tester ports and plans a logical path, and then sends corresponding configuration to the intermediate switches to ensure that the tester is communicated with the link layer of the tested equipment, thereby realizing flexible distribution of the tester ports.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, step 120 specifically includes:

and step 310, determining a candidate path from the idle tester port to the target device under test.

And step 330, determining the weighted hop count corresponding to the candidate path based on the cascade path and the weight coefficient.

And 340, selecting the candidate path with the minimum weighted hop count as a test path, and taking an idle tester port in the test path as a target tester port.

The following describes the process of determining the test path with reference to fig. 4, as shown in fig. 4, the device under test 1 needs to be tested, and finds that only the port connected to the intermediate switch 2 is an idle port by querying the use state of the tester port, and at this time, the following two candidate paths, candidate path 1, exist between the idle port and the device under test 1: in this embodiment, a weight coefficient corresponding to an intermediate switch cascade path of each candidate path and a weighted hop count of the candidate path are determined according to a load balancing principle of the intermediate switch and a least used intermediate switch principle, for example, assuming that the weight coefficient is the inverse of the square of the number of idle ports of the cascade path, the weight coefficients corresponding to the cascade paths in the candidate paths are summed to obtain the weighted hop count corresponding to the candidate path. Given that there are 2 idle ports between the intermediate switch 2 and the intermediate switch 1, 4 idle ports between the intermediate switch 2 and the intermediate switch 3, and 3 idle ports between the intermediate switch 3 and the intermediate switch 1, the weighted hop counts of the candidate path 1 and the candidate path 2 are 0.25 and 0.17, respectively, and the weighted hop count value of the candidate path 2 is the smallest, so that the candidate path 2 is selected as the test path.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the idle tester port is determined by:

and step 510, polling the state of the tester port at regular time, clearing the configuration of the tester port if the tester port is in an idle state, and adding the tester port into an idle list.

Step 520 determines a free tester port based on the free list.

The present embodiment improves the utilization of the tester ports by periodically polling the status of the tester ports and maintaining a free port list.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step 130 specifically includes:

and respectively configuring the target intermediate switch ports in each test path to enable the target intermediate switch ports of the same test path to be positioned in the same virtual local area network, so that the tester is communicated with the link layer of the target tested equipment.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, considering that there may exist a plurality of candidate paths with the smallest weighted hop count, a screening rule needs to be further set to determine a final test path, which includes the following specific steps:

step 610, grouping tester ports connected to the same intermediate switch into a group.

And step 620, if a plurality of candidate paths with the minimum weighted hop count exist, selecting the tester port with the most idle ports in the same group and the corresponding candidate path as the target tester port and the corresponding test path.

Step 630, if the number of idle ports in the same group is the same, randomly selecting one candidate path from the candidate paths as a test path, and taking an idle tester port in the test path as a target tester port.

It should be noted that selecting the tester port with the most idle ports in the same group and the corresponding candidate path as the target tester port and the corresponding test path can implement load balancing of the intermediate switches, and avoid the situation that part of the intermediate switches are overloaded and other intermediate switches are in an idle state for a long time.
