CN1152303C - Method and device for automatically recording and reproducing operation path on simulator - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for automatically recording and playing an operation path back on a simulator and a device thereof. Recording and playback functions are added in a debugging system and a testing system of the simulator by the functions of the count operation, logical judgment, automatic repeat, etc. of a pseudo code. When the recording function is executed, a message is sent to the path of a central processing unit (CPU) by the path of a user interface (User Interface, UI) after the simulator is operated by a user in each time; meanwhile, the message is recorded in a virtual file in the mode of ingress and egress of queue data. When the playback function is executed, operation records are orderly taken out by the UI path from the virtual file and are sent to the CPU path. The user can edit the virtual file, modify or increase or reduce the operation action in the virtual file, and can designate the repeated times of the recorded operation process.

Description

On emulator, realize method to automatic record of courses of action and playback

A kind ofly go up to realize the courses of action method of record and playback automatically,, and can carry out the method for automatic playback particularly about utilizing pseudo-code (Pseudo Code) realization that the courses of action of user on emulator are carried out record at emulator (Emulator).

At present, on the market in popular test and the debug system also not to the record of courses of action and the function of playback, the tester can only carry out the description of language to the problem points of finding in the process of test, yet because the diversity of language and everyone understandability is different, tend to throw into question and express deviation inaccurate or that problem points is understood, thereby make program personnel expensive time when seeking problem points.Particularly when the test of the identity function of different emulators, at present can only be by the artificial repeatedly repetitive operation of carrying out of tester, it is loaded down with trivial details not only to have worked since like this, and efficient is not high, for example for the test of compute classes, a kind of especially super-strength manual labor of manual testing.In addition,, adopt execute-in-place or flash demo at present usually carrying out product function when showing, because on-the-spot atmosphere and the factor of time, the unavoidable anxiety of operator and language expression is unclear or careless omission occurs; And the process of making the flash demo file not only bothers, and expends also higher on the input of manpower and materials.

In view of this, the inventor utilizes the arithmetic operator, logic determines of pseudo-code (Pseudo Code), function such as repeats automatically, design a kind of the realization courses of action of user on emulator (Emulator) are carried out record, and can carry out the method for automatic playback.

Fundamental purpose of the present invention is that elimination traditional test and debug system can't write down problem points and searching once more of problem caused difficulty, reduce work efficiency, thereby provide a kind of pseudo-code of utilizing that courses of action are carried out record, generate virtual file, and by reading the method for the automatic playback operation process of virtual file.This method is not only applicable to the platform of different main frames, and the program personnel can utilize the automatic playback operation process of pseudo-code, finds problem points fast, thereby has avoided because of the inaccurate work delays of the text description time.

Second purpose of the present invention is to eliminate a large amount of repetitive operations that present tester is done when the identity function of test different product, and the virtual file that is generated by pseudo-code can be edited, be that the user can delete or increase operational motion in virtual file, number of times that also can the automatic playback of assigned operation.So not only reduce tester's labour intensity, also improved their work efficiency, more reduced the cost of product, shortened the Products Development time.

The 3rd purpose of the present invention provides to the user a kind of by making the virtual file of courses of action in advance, when product introduction by reading the straightforward procedure of the automatic exhibiting product function of virtual file, avoided when product function is demonstrated, operator's anxiety and language expression is unclear or careless omission occurs when carrying out execute-in-place, it is easy and light that the preliminary work that product function is showed becomes.

Technical scheme of the present invention is: a kind of realization is to the method for automatic record of courses of action and playback on emulator, and its special character is: this method comprises the following step at least:

Automatically write down flow process:

1) at first, opens the virtual record function, set up the operating process of a virtual file opening entry;

2) judge whether to want end record;

3) then judged whether operation requests,, then got back to step 2 if there is not operation requests;

4) if operation requests is arranged, after the each operation of user, the UI thread when message is sent to the CPU thread also the data turnover mode with formation be recorded in the virtual file);

5) when the user sends the end record order, the UI thread just is sent to the CPU thread to message, stops record simultaneously;

Automatic playback flow process:

1) at first, opens playback function, and open one and edited the virtual file of finishing;

2) then whether playback number of times in decision operation path is zero;

3) if be zero, then finish the playback flow process, whether will finish playback otherwise look the user;

4) UI thread timing this moment is taken out action record and is sent to the CPU thread from virtual file, by display device this action playback is come out then;

5) courses of action playback number of times subtracts 1 simultaneously;

6) when courses of action playback number of times be zero or the user send when finishing playback command, the operating process playback finishes.

Above-mentioned virtual file more can need to increase or deletion operational motion wherein according to test.

Above-mentioned virtual file more can freely be specified the number of times of the automatic playback of these courses of action.

An external storage is opened and be stored in to above-mentioned virtual file by an input media.

Above-mentioned action record is by a display device this action record playback to be come out.

The above-mentioned arithmetic operator that utilizes pseudo-code, logic determines, the function that repeats automatically increase this record and this playback function in the debug system of this emulator and test macro.
