Abstract

Because the system under test contains multiple subsystem interactions, the correctness and consistency of the interface return between the subsystems plays an important role in the entire process. It is very important to ensure the quality of the interface testing. However, there are many types of interfaces and the structure is complex. As a result, there are problems such as long test execution time, low efficiency, and missing test in the interface test process [1]. To solve this problem, the paper proposes and implements an interface automation test framework based on PHPUnit, so as to improve the test efficiency and ensure the test quality through automated testing. The framework is based on the tested interface services using the HTTP protocol and the development language using PHP. The PHPUnit lightweight unit testing framework was used to transform the design and development. Based on the functional design of the PHPUnit framework,the layered design process realizes functions such as scene-driven data isolation, data verification logic encapsulation, etc, making the framework clear and readable in structure, and easy to use. Such advantages can effectively improve the test efficiency and reduce the test cost.
