The core of the invention has 2 parts:

the first part is to graph the function keyword module in the test item configuration module (for example, a text box or other draggable forms), list the test items (lists or other forms can be used), drag the function keyword boxes (graphical function keywords) to the proper positions in the function keyword list in the test items by dragging to determine the order of the function keywords running when running the test items, and also drag the function keyword boxes in the function keyword list to adjust the execution order. (see FIG. 3)

The second part is to graph the test items (which may be in the form of a text box or a box displaying the names of the test items) in the test flow configuration module, graph the test sub-threads (a directional line segment or other similar form that can place the test items from top to bottom, and is subsequently called a test sub-thread running reticle), move the test item box (the graphical test items) from the test item list onto the test sub-thread running reticle by dragging, and arrange a test sequence on the test sub-thread running reticle (the sequence of the test items can be adjusted by dragging the test items), where the test items already on the test sub-thread reticle can also be dragged onto other test sub-thread reticles, so as to achieve the transfer of the threads where the test items are located (see fig. 4). And moving the waiting point to the test sub-thread running marking line in a dragging mode, and connecting the waiting points on the two test sub-thread marking lines in the dragging mode to realize the waiting function required between the configuration sub-threads. (see FIG. 5).

Each test sub-thread running marking in the test flow configuration module represents an actual test thread during running, after the test starts, the system creates a corresponding number of test threads according to the number of the test sub-thread running markings, and runs a corresponding test item on the thread (the test running flow is shown in fig. 2).

The following steps are described for implementing the drag function in the test item configuration module (as shown in fig. 3):

and acquiring a functional keyword list through a keyword set module, and displaying each functional keyword in the list in a left functional keyword list field.
