Abstract

A method of effectively testing whether a service bundle operates by changing the configuration and function of bundles included in a test tool for an OSGi service platform and a test tool using the method are provided. The OSGi service platform test tool includes a framework in which test cases are installed, an adaptor enabling the framework to function in a test execution environment, a director bundle providing a UI of a test tool, services that manage the test, and OSGi services, and an agent bundle relaying message movement with the test case bundle to a framework of a target host.

Claims

1. A method of testing an Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) service platform, the method comprising:

installing a director bundle, which provides a user interface (UI) of a test tool, services that manage a test, and OSGi services, in a framework of a test manager host;

installing an agent bundle that relays movement of at least one message and a test case bundle, and a service bundle to be tested, in a framework of a target host;

installing a predetermined test case transmitted from the director bundle in the framework of the target host using the agent bundle and performing a test operation; and

providing results of the test operation and test logs as one of the UI and a file.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the test case and the service bundle to be installed is input through one of the UI and a script.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the test logs are provided in a file having a text format.

4. An Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) service platform test tool comprising:

a framework in which at least one test case is installed;

an adaptor which enables the framework to function in a test execution environment;

a director bundle which provides a user interface (UI) of a test tool, services that manage a test, and OSGi services; and

an agent bundle which relays a first message of movement and a test case bundle to a framework of a target host.

5. The OSGi service platform test tool of claim 4, wherein the director bundle comprises:

a handler module which transmits a second at least one message between modules;

a test control module which manages the test case bundle and test logs;

a network packet processing module which transmits a packet between the agent bundle and an internal module;

a target discovery module which discovers information about the target host of the agent bundle;

a target manager module which processes information about the target host;

an OSGi bundle life-cycle manager module which changes a state of a bundle or installs a new bundle in the framework;

a GUI processing module which processes the request of a tester through the GUI and transmits the request of the tester to the handler module; and

a console command processing module that processes a command of the tester input through a console window.

6. The OSGi service platform test tool of claim 5, wherein the agent bundle comprises:

a director manager module which transmits a notification message indicating information about the target host to the director bundle, and manages the director bundle;

a test case control module which installs the test case bundle in the framework and transmits logs transmitted from the test case bundle and a test result to the director module;

a network packet processing module which processes a packet transmitted from a network and transmits the processed packet to the agent bundle; and

a console command processing module which processes test logs.

7. The OSGi service platform test tool of claim 6, wherein the test case and the service bundle to be installed are input through one of the UI and a script.

8. The OSGi service platform test tool of claim 7, wherein the console command processing module of the director bundle includes a unit which inputs a command that relates to an error that occurred during a test operation.

9. The OSGi service platform test tool of claim 8, wherein the test logs are provided in a file having a text format.
