Abstract

The present invention discloses an offline debugging method, comprising: S01: obtaining interfaces which require return values in test flows of the test device; S02: setting the return value corresponding to each of the interfaces which require the return values, adding M debugging strategies and determining a debugging strategy required to be started; S03: compiling a configuration file comprises the M debugging strategies into an executable file required by the target platform; S04: setting up a virtual machine to fit the target platform, and transferring the executable file to the virtual machine; S05: invoking the test flow, returning the return value set by the debugging strategy corresponding to the interface which require the return value and obtaining an debugging result correspondingly. Therefore, the present invention solves a problem that debugging relays on hardware devices in semiconductor automation test, so as to reduce complexity and difficulty of debugging of a test device.
