Set top box test method and system based on network

The invention relates to a set top box test method and a set top box test system based on a network. Generation and analysis of a test case and a test report are separated to a network server, a set top box and a server test end communicated with each other based on the network to jointly complete the test of the set top box, and thus occupation of a set top box processor is greatly reduced, and burdens of the set top box processor are reduced. Meanwhile, a protection progress is set to communicate with the server test end, the protection progress utilizes advantages of simpleness, stability and being prone to be blocked to conduct network communication with the server test end stably, and thus test stability is ensured. 本发明涉及种基于网络的机顶盒测试方法及系统，将测试用例和测试报告生成及分析分离到网络服务器，机顶盒和服务器测试端基于网络进行通信，共同完成机顶盒的测试，从而大大减少了对机顶盒处理器的占用，降低了机顶盒处理器的负担。同时，设置保护进程与服务器测试端进行通信，利用保护进程简单稳定、不容易发生卡死的优点，稳定的与服务器测试端进行网络通信，保证测试的稳定性。
