Introduction

xbot is a lightweight, easy-to-use, and extensible test automation framework.

Installation

Install xbot via pip:

pip install xbot.framework

Type xbot --help to check:

$ xbot --help
usage: xbot [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [-b TESTBED] [-s TESTSET] [-f {verbose,brief}] [-v] {init,run}

positional arguments:
{init,run}

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        directory to init (required by `init` command)
-b TESTBED, --testbed TESTBED
                        testbed filepath (required by `run` command)
-s TESTSET, --testset TESTSET
                        testset filepath (required by `run` command)
-f {verbose,brief}, --outfmt {verbose,brief}
                        output format (option for `run` command, options: verbose/brief, default: brief)
-v, --version         show program's version number and exit

Getting Started

Initialize a test project:

$ xbot init -d ./testproj
Initialized ./testproj

The test project directory structure:

Testbed example(testbeds/testbed_example.yml):

# Testbed is used to store the information about the test environment.
# The information can be accessed by self.testbed.get() in the testcases.
example:
  key1: value1
  key2: 
    key2-1: value2-1
    key2-2: value2-2
  key3:
    - value3-1
    - value3-2
    - value3-3
  key4:
    - name: jack
      age: 20
    - name: tom
      age: 30

Testset example(testsets/testset_example.yml):

# Testset is used to organize testcases to be executed.
tags:  # `exclude` has higher priority than `include`.
  include:  # Include testcases with these tags.
    - tag1
  exclude:  # Exclude testcases with these tags.
    - tag2
paths:
  - testcases/examples/pass/tc_eg_pass_get_values_from_testbed.py
  - testcases/examples/pass/tc_eg_pass_create_dirs_and_files.py
  # Recursively include all testcases in the directory, 
  # only match files with the prefix 'tc_' and suffix '.py'.
  - testcases/examples/nonpass/

Run the testcases(must execute under the test project directory):

$ xbot run -b testbeds/testbed_example.yml -s testsets/testset_example.yml 
(1/11)   PASS     0:00:01  tc_eg_pass_get_values_from_testbed

Testcase Development

Testcases are stored in the testcases subdirectory, below is a example(testcases/examples/pass/tc_eg_pass_create_dirs_and_files.py):

import os
import tempfile
import shutil

from xbot.framework.utils import assertx
from lib.testcase import TestCase


class tc_eg_pass_create_dirs_and_files(TestCase):
    """
    Test creating directories and files.
    """
    TIMEOUT = 60
    FAILFAST = True
    TAGS = ['tag1']

    def setup(self):
        """
        Prepare test environment.
        """
        self.workdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
        self.info('Created workdir: %s', self.workdir)

    def step1(self):
        """
        Create a subdirectory 'dir' under the temporary working directory and check if it is created successfully.
        """
        self.dir1 = os.path.join(self.workdir, 'dir1')
        os.mkdir(self.dir1)
        assertx(os.path.exists(self.dir1), '==', True)

    def step2(self):
        """
        Create an empty file 'file1' under 'dir1' and check if it is created successfully.
        """
        self.file1 = os.path.join(self.dir1, 'file1')
        open(self.file1, 'w').close()
        assertx(os.path.exists(self.file1), '==', True)

    def step3(self):
        """
        Write 'hello world' to 'file1' and check if it is written successfully.
        """
        with open(self.file1, 'w') as f:
            f.write('hello world')
        with open(self.file1, 'r') as f:
            assertx(f.read(), '==', 'hello world')

    def teardown(self):
        """
        Clean up test environment.
        """
        shutil.rmtree(self.workdir)
        self.info('Removed workdir: %s', self.workdir)
        self.sleep(1)
  • Testcase MUST inherit from the TestCase base class;
  • Testcase MUST implement the preset steps in the setup method, write pass if there are no specific steps;
  • Testcase MUST implement the cleanup steps in the teardown method, write pass if there are no specific steps;
  • Test steps are named in the form of step1, step2, ..., the number at the end is the execution order;
  • The TIMEOUT attribute defines the maximum execution time of the testcase(unit: seconds), the testcase will be forced to end and the result will be set to TIMEOUT if it exceeds the time limit;
  • When FAILFAST attribute is True, the subsequent test steps will be skipped and the teardown will be executed immediately if a test step fails;
  • The TAGS attribute defines the testcase tags, which can be used to filter testcases to be executed in the testset;

Test libraries development

Test libraries are stored in the lib subdirectory, write the test libraries according to the business requirements, import and use them in the testcases.

用例日志:

log_example

用例开发

测试用例存放在工程目录的 testcases 子目录下,以下为 testcases/examples/pass/tc_eg_pass_create_dirs_and_files.py 用例内容:

import os
import tempfile
import shutil

from xbot.framework.utils import assertx
from lib.testcase import TestCase


class tc_eg_pass_create_dirs_and_files(TestCase):
    """
    Test creating directories and files.
    """
    TIMEOUT = 60
    FAILFAST = True
    TAGS = ['tag1']

    def setup(self):
        """
        Prepare test environment.
        """
        self.workdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
        self.info('Created workdir: %s', self.workdir)

    def step1(self):
        """
        Create a subdirectory 'dir' under the temporary working directory and check if it is created successfully.
        """
        self.dir1 = os.path.join(self.workdir, 'dir1')
        os.mkdir(self.dir1)
        assertx(os.path.exists(self.dir1), '==', True)

    def step2(self):
        """
        Create an empty file 'file1' under 'dir1' and check if it is created successfully.
        """
        self.file1 = os.path.join(self.dir1, 'file1')
        open(self.file1, 'w').close()
        assertx(os.path.exists(self.file1), '==', True)

    def step3(self):
        """
        Write 'hello world' to 'file1' and check if it is written successfully.
        """
        with open(self.file1, 'w') as f:
            f.write('hello world')
        with open(self.file1, 'r') as f:
            assertx(f.read(), '==', 'hello world')

    def teardown(self):
        """
        Clean up test environment.
        """
        shutil.rmtree(self.workdir)
        self.info('Removed workdir: %s', self.workdir)
        self.sleep(1)
  • 用例 必须 继承自 TestCase 基类;
  • 用例 必须 在 setup 方法内实现预置步骤,如无具体步骤则写 pass;
  • 用例 必须 在 teardown 方法内实现清理步骤,如无具体步骤则写 pass;
  • 测试步骤以 step1, step2, ... 这样的方式命名,末尾数字为执行顺序;
  • TIMEOUT 属性定义测试用例最大执行时长(单位:秒),超过该时长将被强制结束且置结果为 TIMEOUT;
  • FAILFAST 属性为 True 时,当某个测试步骤失败时,则会跳过后续测试步骤立即执行清理步骤;
  • TAGS 属性定义用例 标签,可用于测试套中对待执行测试用例列表进行筛选;

测试库开发

测试库存放在工程目录的 lib 子目录下,根据业务开发所需测试库放入该目录下,然后在测试用例中导入使用即可。
