Method and device for detecting browser compatibility

Abstract

The invention discloses a browser compatibility testing method. The browser compatibility testing method comprises the following steps: 1) performing static compatibility scanning on a tested object and outputting a function module set required to be tested; 2) aiming at all function modules in the function module set, generating state machines that the function modules respectively operate under various browsers to obtain a plurality of state conversion functions of the function modules respectively corresponding to the browsers; 3) comparing the state functions to determine functional difference of the function modules on the browsers. The invention correspondingly and additionally discloses a browser compatibility testing device. The browser compatibility testing method and the browser compatibility testing device provided by the embodiment of the invention have the advantages that the full-automatic intelligent testing of function compatibility problems can be realized, and not only can the testing efficiency be improved, but also the failure in report can be avoided to the utmost extent and the testing quality is improved accordingly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of network technologies, and in particular to a method and device for detecting compatibility problems caused by webpages or programs running among multiple browsers. Background technique [0002] With the increasing number of network users, there are more and more types of web browsers designed to meet the needs of different users. Common browsers include IE (Internet Explorer), Firefox (Firefox), Chrome (Google Chrome), etc. , the kernels of these browsers are different, so the support for various webpages and webapps (web-based application programs) is also different, thus causing browser compatibility issues. For this reason, before a website (or webpage) or webapp is released, it is usually necessary to test the compatibility of the website or webapp running on various browsers in order to adjust it to ensure that it can run smoothly in different browsers. device. The above-mentioned browser compatibi...

Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned browser compatibility issues generally include style compatibility issues and function compatibility issues. The former can generally be tested manually by developers, while the latter has a large workload, low efficiency and quality, and testing problems if manual testing is used. The long-term problem requires an automated compatibility detection method

One is use-case-based automated testing, which specifically includes, for example, constructing automated test cases with tools such as selenium, watir, and capabara, and then executing the use cases in various browsers to detect compatibility issues; this method is currently multi-browser compatible The mainstream detection scheme for sexual problems, its disadvantage is that it cannot be generalized, and because it takes a lot of time to write and maintain automation use cases for each application (web page or webapp), it takes a lot of labor; in addition, when the automation use case When the quality or quantity is not enough, it is easy to cause the problem of underreporting

Another automated test method for functional compatibility is an automatic state machine, which specifically includes generating a finite state machine for the operation and state of the page (web page or webapp page) by an automated method, and then comparing the equality of the finite state machine Find out how a functional issue performs differently across multiple browsers; this approach has a low false negative rate, but is not efficient and effective due to the large state machine space in real applications
