Abstract:
1. An integrated test method on a multi-operating system (OS) platform, for realizing a synthetic test of a file system and disk performance on multiple OS platforms in a computer with an extended firmware interface (EFI) system environment, the method comprising: (a) booting an EFI shell program after the computer runs a power on self test and enters the EFI system; (b) scanning sectors in an entire physical hard disk in the EFI shell program environment, and performing a hardware underlying test of a disk device; (c) creating a log file recording a test result after the hardware underlying test; (d) selecting and loading an OS and entering an environment of the OS, then testing a file system and a disk performance in the OS environment; (e) creating a log file recording a test result after the test; (f) exiting from the OS and returning to the EFI shell program environment to gather and summarize each of the log files recording the test results; and (g) determining whether it is necessary to load other OSes, if necessary, returning to step (d), and if not, sending the summarized log files to a server terminal for file interpretation and subsequent analysis and processing.
