Description

This invention relates to a regression test execution support device, a regression test execution support method, and a regression test execution support program. In recent years, with the increasing scale of systems, the need for regression testing using RPA (Robotic Process Automation) has been growing. One regression testing method involves using a program to automatically perform operations, taking screenshots of the screen at arbitrary times, and comparing these screenshots with those taken during previous regression tests. A problem with this method is that differences in images unrelated to bugs or changes in operation may occur during test execution. In contrast, Patent Document 1 describes an information processing device characterized by comprising: an image storage unit that stores screenshots of the old and new environments of a target application screen in file format; an exclusion policy setting means that, in response to operator operations on a settings screen displayed on a display unit, hierarchically structures the files in the image storage unit and hierarchically sets exclusion policies for image comparison for the structured files; and a comparison means that outputs the comparison results of the screenshots of the old and new environments in the image storage unit according to the set exclusion policies.

Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the regression test execution support device 100. The regression test execution support device 100 is a system for executing regression tests used by users such as scenario creators and testers. Here, a tester is a person who verifies the operation of the applications stored in the regression test execution support device 100. In addition to scenario creators and testers, the execution of regression tests also includes periodic automatic execution by the system. The regression test execution support device 100 may be a stationary information processing system such as a workstation or desktop personal computer, or an information processing system such as a commercially available notebook personal computer.
