關于項目自動化測試架構的改良計劃 - DataProviderEngine架構

為了基于上文我們的xml文件的架構，對其進行解析，我自己寫了一個DataProviderEngine作為解析xml文件的引擎，它主要的架構如下圖：

具體細節如下，為了節省時間，我直接復制我的英文郵件內容了：

Step 1: The XMLReader read the raw test suite xml file (now we adopt the xml file ,since it is not binary file and easy to edit and version control)

Step 2: After reading ,XMLReader store the xml string into a string variable named “ originalXmlString “, this is our starting point.

Step 3: The XIncludeConverter read the originalXmlString ,and resolve the XInclude namespace ,when it resolve this file ,it will replace all the <xi:include href> element with the actual xml fragments one by one.

Step 4: After replacing all <xi:include> ,XIncludeConverter will store the new xml string into string variable named “convertedXmlString”.

Step 5: The XMLManipulator read the convertedXmlString ,and remove all the user configuration part from such as  <add_elements>,<update_elements>,<remove_elements> ,since these information is used for letting test case end user configure how to operate the base data to meet special requirements,so these part shouldn’t exist in final data.

Step 6:After removing all config elements ,The XMLManipulator store the xml string into a new string variable named “ removeAllConfXmlString”

Step 7:Since the configuration information are removed in Step 5-6 ,but they still exist in original xml string ,so XMLModifyInfoExtractor read all the <add_elements>,<update_elements>,<remove_elements> part from original xml string ,and smartly match which corresponding testcase data it will operate .

Step 8:After analyzing all the user modification requirement ,the XMLModifyInfoExtractor store these modification info into 3 arraylists , addElementInfoList,updateElementInfoList,removeElementInfoList.

Step 9:Now it is time to begin modifying the xml ,so the XMLManipulator read the “removeAllConfXmlString”  in Step 6 .

Step 10:Then  XMLManipulator  use all the modification info in Step 8 ,and do modification operation one by one : addElementToXML() ,updateElementFromXML(),removeElementFromXML()

Step 11: after finish all the modification ,XMLManipulator store the final xml string into string variable named “modifiedXmlString”

Step 12: Finally it convert the xml formatted string to a jsonobject and it now can be used as a data provider which can be consumed in each test case.
