Project Background
As an electrical meter software engineer, I am responsible for the "Differential Upgrade" project, which aims to optimize the existing firmware update mechanism for a more efficient and stable remote upgrade process. This improvement will not only significantly reduce data transmission volume and lower bandwidth costs but also shorten user wait times and enhance the user experience. After a period of development, the differential upgrade function is now complete, and the next step is to undergo rigorous testing to ensure that its performance and stability meet expectations.
Testing Objectives
The testing will focus on the following three aspects:
Resource Size Detection: Verify that the actual size of the differential package meets the preset standards, ensuring that the upgrade package size is minimized without affecting the integrity of the functionality.
Upgrade Speed Assessment: Measure the time required to complete the entire upgrade process from start to finish, compare it with the traditional full upgrade method, and analyze the efficiency improvements brought by the differential upgrade.
Stability Testing: Simulate upgrade scenarios in different network environments to check for any interruptions, failures, or other abnormal conditions, and record the success rate of each attempt.
