Detailed Description

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, a network architecture diagram of an open test data collection system according to the present invention is shown.

The open test data collection system of the present invention includes a server 102, a switch 101, and a plurality of test machines 100 connected to the server 102 through the switch 101, and the system further includes a plurality of client computers 103. The client computer 103 is connected to the server 102 through a network 104; the server 102 is connected to a plurality of test machines 100 through the switch 101.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of a server of the open data collection system according to the present invention. The server 102 includes a data collection module 201, a data storage module 202, and a data query platform 203. The data storage module 202 further includes a database 204 and a test program module 205 for storing a test program required for the test of the test machine 100. The database 204 is used for storing, recording and managing related test data, and the test data mainly includes serial number, model name, test item, test status, time, etc., which can be obtained by user registration or data collection, etc. The data collection module 201 is configured to collect data and transmit the collected data to the database 204, and the data collection module 201 may include a data collection program, and the data collection program is a service program for multi-threaded database operation written in a visualization programming language based on Windows.

The data query platform 203 is connected to the Database 204 through a Database connection, which may be an Open Database connection (ODBC) or Java (JDBC). The data query platform 203 can be divided into two parts of real-time monitoring and historical data query, and adopts a WEB mode, and provides access to a client computer 103, and any user with permission can log in the data query platform 203 through a network 104 at the client to check the real-time test record of the related product or the related historical record.

In addition, in the present invention, the client computer 103 accesses the server 102 through the network 104, which may be any one of user environments such as Windows nt, Windows xp, or Windows2000, and provides an interactive user interface for the user, and has a web browser, and the user logs in to the data query platform 203 of the server through the interactive style user interface. The network 104, which is an electronic network, may be an Intranet (Intranet), the Internet (Internet), or other type of network.

In the embodiment, the testing apparatus 100 is a digital computer including a processor and at least one storage device, and the test is a system test performed on the digital computer, and during the test, the testing apparatus further includes a display for displaying the execution status of the test. The working process of the open type test data collection system is as follows:

first, an external storage device (magnetic disk or optical disk) loaded with a network boot program, a network driver and a judgment program is placed into the tester 100. When the testing machine 100 starts up, the processor loads the relevant programs through the input device and starts to connect with the network 104, and the connection is successful. The test program is then fetched from the test program module 205 of the server 102 via the network 104, and the version of the test program is determined, and if the version of the test program is an old version, a version error message is shown on a display screen connected to the test machine 100. Otherwise, if the version of the test program is the latest version, the loading program instruction is executed and the test program for testing the testing machine 100 is loaded from the test program module 205 of the server 102 through the network 104 and sent to the storage device of the testing machine 100 for storage.

Next, during the testing process, the data collection module 201 of the server 102 starts collecting data from the testing machine 100 through the network 104, and transmits the collected data to the database 204 in the data storage module 201 for storage. Meanwhile, the data query platform 203 of the server 102 is connected to the database 204 through a database connection to access data. The user logs on the data query platform 203 through the network 104 at the user side computer 103, and the test information can be monitored in real time through the instant monitoring part of the data query platform 203.

Finally, after the test is finished, the user can also inquire the past or recent test information by logging in the historical inquiry part in the data inquiry platform 203.

Referring to FIG. 3, a data collection method of the open test data collection system of the present invention is described in detail.

First, the relevant test data and test results of the test items are generated into a predetermined format and stored in a file with a suffix name of INI file (step 302).

Meanwhile, the server executes the data collection procedure of the data collection module, collects data from the testing machine 100 through the network 104, that is, collects a file with a suffix name of INI file, and transmits the related data in the file to the database 204 for saving (steps 303 and 304). The file with the suffix name of INI file is renamed to a file with the suffix name of TXT file, and is transmitted to the storage device of the testing machine 100 through the network 104 for storage (step 305).

While the test data collection is performed from the testing machine 100 to the server 102, the test program executed in the testing machine 100 determines whether the data collection is completed or not through a set time (step 306), which is a time period from when the server 102 starts to collect data for a test item of the testing machine 100 through the network 104 to when the data collection is completed. If the detected time has reached the set time, it is determined that the test data collection failed (step 307). If the detected time does not reach the set time set by the test procedure, determine whether the storage device of the test machine 100 has a file with a suffix name of TXT (step 308); if a file with a suffix name of TXT file is detected, the file is deleted from the storage device of the test equipment 100 and the test of the next test item is started (step 309). If no file with a suffix name of TXT file is detected, it returns to step 302 for re-execution.

The cyclic collection and transmission of test data as described above continues until the entire test process is completed.

The open type test data collection System can be connected with a field management System (SFCS) through a network, and the open type test data collection System can also directly call data from the field management System in the data collection process, thereby providing great convenience in the actual test process and the test data collection process, reducing the arrangement of stations and saving the cost.
