UnionTech Software Launches 'YouQu' Automated Testing Framework for Linux
TapTechNews August 12th news, UnionTech Software today announced the launch of the YouQu comprehensive automated testing framework, specifically tailored for the Linux operating system. It integrates core functions such as management, distribution scheduling, and driver execution, achieving full coverage of the testing process.
According to the introduction, YouQu not only supports various automated testing scenarios such as UI, WEB, interface, and command line, but also greatly improves the testing efficiency and quality. YouQu is compatible with the two mainstream display protocols, X11 and Wayland, ensuring smooth operation in various Linux environments.
UnionTech officials said that compared with the traditional keyword-driven automated testing framework, YouQu adopts a forward-looking engineering design concept and advanced technologies, such as image recognition, attribute positioning, OCR text recognition, RGB color comparison and other diversified element positioning strategies, which not only effectively solves the testing problem caused by complex nested structures, but also significantly reduces the maintenance cost, and at the same time greatly improves the scalability and flexibility of the framework.
TapTechNews attached UnionTech official comparison:
Interaction mode
Other test frameworks: Mainly support command line interaction, and the support for UI automation is not enough.
YouQu: It has independently developed multiple sets of LinuxGUI element positioning and mouse and keyboard simulation schemes, highly supporting UI automation, and at the same time supporting a more rich command line interaction mode.
Development module
Other test frameworks: There is no scaffolding tool, and test developers need to spend a lot of time building the case engineering from scratch.
YouQu: Built-in scaffolding tool, which realizes one-click creation of a complete case engineering. In this process, basic codes such as import statements, method invocations, and public methods can all be automatically generated, greatly reducing the entry threshold, especially friendly to novice users. This not only speeds up the start-up speed of the automated project, but also brings great convenience to the subsequent writing of automated scripts.
Management module
Other test frameworks: Mainly manage test cases by adding decorators in the code or adding annotations in code classes or functions. This method seems convenient in the early stage, but as the number of test cases increases, the maintenance difficulty also increases, and the flexibility is limited, which is difficult to meet the needs of complex projects.
YouQu: Adopts an innovative patented scheme of tagged management, which manages all case tags through a CSV file, not only supports network import and custom extension, but also supports logical combination. Its format design is unified and easy to understand, thus ensuring a high degree of maintainability and being very flexible in practical applications.
Execution module
Other test frameworks: The remote execution ability is usually relatively weak and generally requires relying on exter nal plugins.
YouQu: Built-in local and remote dual drive execution functions, and provides rich execution strategy configuration options. Its remote drive execution function is implemented based on the SSH protocol, and the remote execution device does not need to deploy an additional environment. In addition, YouQu also supports distributed execution on a batch of test machines.
Maintenance module
Other test frameworks: There is no automatic log system, forcing test developers to add log output code manually. At the same time, they often do not support the function of failure screen recording, and the test report usually needs to rely on additional plugins.
YouQu: Built-in fully automatic log system, which can automatically record and output detailed log information during the test process. At the same time, it also has a built-in function of failure screen recording for execution, and can also generate detailed, beautiful and easy-to-understand test reports.
