Testing method and device of application programs

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a testing method and device of application programs, and relates to the field of communication. The testing method and device are used for solving the problem that after an operating system of a terminal is upgraded, non-upgraded application programs are repeatedly tested. The method comprises the steps that a latest record and a historical records of a terminal application program list generated in advance are acquired, wherein the latest record records the package name and version information of each application program running in an operating system in a current version, and the historical record records the package name and version information of each application program running in an operating system in a historical version; the latest record and the historical record of the terminal application program list are compared, and application programs, the same as those in the historical record in package name but different in version information, in the latest record and/or new application programs are determined as target application programs. Thus, the problem is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an application program testing method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the terminals use the Android (Android) operating system, and the open-source nature of the Android system determines that the application programs in the terminal are diverse and numerous. As the terminal functions become more complex, the number of application programs in the terminal is also increasing Increase. [0003] At present, when testing a terminal, each application program installed in the terminal needs to be tested. When more and more application programs are installed in the terminal, the test time of the terminal is continuously extended. The testing methods in the prior art can use Android's own or an automated testing framework formed through secondary development to test the application program, but most of these testing methods are aimed at testing the basic functions...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, when testing the terminal, it is necessary to test each application program installed in the terminal. When more and more applications are installed in the terminal, this leads to the continuous extension of the test time of the terminal.

The test methods in the prior art can use Android's own or automated test framework formed through secondary development to test the application program, but most of these test methods are aimed at testing the basic functions, performance and stability of the terminal

[0004] After the operating system of the terminal is upgraded, the application program installed in the terminal may also change (such as deletion, addition or upgrade). When using the test method in the prior art to test the upgraded terminal, it will Retesting of multiple applications where some of the non-upgraded applications may have been tested on the pre-upgrade version, resulting in a large amount of duplication of testing effort and increased testing time
