A method and device for using a FIO testing tool

technical field

The invention relates to the field of hardware testing, in particular to a method and device for using a FIO testing tool.

Background technique

FIO is a hardware stress testing tool for I/O standard testing. The latest version of FIO can support up to 24 different types of I/O engines. FIO supports almost all storage description parameters, can customize multiple test modes, and supports block device and file system tests. It is because of the powerful functions of FIO that it is widely used in standard testing, QA, verification testing, etc.

Since FIO operates in the form of a command line, the user needs to input test commands one by one according to the content to be tested and get the corresponding test results. However, there is often a certain correlation between the data obtained from the test. It is difficult for the user to obtain the data obtained from the test one by one to have a comprehensive understanding of the overall test situation. The obtained data is manually recorded or read the results obtained by inputting commands before, but when there is a lot of data for comparison, the above method will greatly increase the complexity of the user's testing using the FIO testing tool and reduce the testing efficiency. And the overall user experience is poor.

It can be seen that it is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art to provide a method for using the FIO test tool to reduce the complexity of the user when using the FIO test tool to obtain test data, improve the test efficiency and the overall experience of the user.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Embodiment one

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for using a FIO testing tool provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1, the specific steps of using the FIO test tool include:

Step S10: Set corresponding test parameters and test methods of the FIO test tool according to the required test content.

It can be understood that the FIO test tool executes related test operations through different commands, and since each execution command has a corresponding test parameter, the execution command and test parameters can be set according to the test content required by the user. It should be noted that, since the selection of the test command is only related to the content of the subsequent test result, there may be multiple test commands which may be independent of each other, and no specific limitation is made here.

Step S11: use the test parameters as parameters when executing the test method, and obtain the test result by executing the test method.

The purpose of this step is to execute the test method to obtain the test results. It should be noted that even if the same test method is used, the test results are different with different test parameters. Therefore, users can use representative parameter data in various tests as test parameters, and the test results obtained can be more comprehensive and accurate, and can provide a more favorable data basis for subsequent test analysis.

Step S12: Combine and display the test results.

In this step, combining and displaying the obtained data can enable users to more comprehensively and systematically understand the test results under different test parameters or different test aspects, and the displayed content is more convenient for users to use in the future, and avoids It eliminates the complicated steps for users to record test results.

The using method of the FIO test tool provided by the present invention, the test method and the corresponding parameters of the FIO test tool used in the test are set according to the content of the test required by the user, the test method is executed and the result data of the test is obtained, and the result data is obtained The resulting data are then combined and displayed. It is understandable that, compared with displaying the result data one by one, combining and displaying the result data avoids the complicated operation of manual recording of the result data by the user, and is more convenient for the user to compare the data and analyze the test later, and improves the test efficiency. While improving the user experience.

Embodiment two

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of another method for using the FIO testing tool provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Steps S10-S12 in FIG. 2 are the same as those in FIG. 1, and will not be repeated here.

As shown in Figure 2, as a preferred embodiment, after the test method is executed to obtain the test result, the method further includes:

Step S20: Write the test result into a file.

It is understandable that the purpose of writing the test results into the file is to facilitate the subsequent multiple use of the test results by the user. In addition, when the device fails, the cause of the failure can be analyzed by obtaining the test results in the file, and then the device failure can be detected. for faster processing.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, as a preferred implementation manner, the file is specifically a CSV file.

It should be noted that a CSV file can be composed of any number of records, separated by newlines, each record is composed of fields, and the separators between fields are other characters or strings, tabs can also be used, so CSV The data displayed in the file is more standardized, and the display of the data is clear and easy to view. Typically, all records have the exact same sequence of fields and are plain text files, so compatibility is higher.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, as a preferred implementation manner, the test parameters specifically include:

Read and write scale parameters, block size parameters, and queue depth parameters.

Since the read and write ability is a very important performance of hardware equipment, and the parameters related to the hardware read and write ability are mainly the read and write ratio, block size and queue depth, so the test parameters are set to the above three parameters and a variety of effective Testing with representative values can more comprehensively demonstrate the main performance of hardware devices.

As shown in Figure 2, as a preferred embodiment, the method further includes:

Step S21: Setting the threshold of the test result.

Correspondingly, after the test result is obtained by executing the test method, the method further includes:

Step S22: judging whether the test result meets the threshold,

If yes, execute step S12,

Otherwise, execute step S23.

Step S23: Prompting error information.

It should be noted that step S21 may be performed before any step before the threshold is used, and of course it may be performed simultaneously with any step before the threshold is used, which is not specifically limited here.

It is understandable that the test result may differ greatly from the expected result during the test, so it is necessary to prompt an error message and inform the user in time when the above situation occurs, so that the user can analyze the cause of the above situation and deal with it accordingly.

On the basis of the above examples, as a preferred implementation mode, the test results are combined and shown as follows:

Combine and display the test results by using the minimal parameter and the awk command.

It should be noted that using the minimal parameter and the awk command can output the test results separated by semicolons and blank lines, so it is more convenient for users to classify and view the test data.
