Cross-application automatic testing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a cross-application automatic testing method. The method involves with a main application A and one or more parallel applications B; the method comprises the steps of designing one or more analogue associated applications B' which correspond to the one or more parallel applications B and are completely the same relative to the interface of the main application A, and sending a testing instruction only to the main application A rather than the one or more parallel applications B, and then performing the automatic testing, wherein when the main application A needs to call the one or more parallel applications B, the designed one or more analogue associated applications B' are used for taking the place of the one or more parallel applications B to communicated with the main application A.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a test method, more specifically, to a cross-application automated test method. Background technique [0002] The existing cross-application automated testing tools in the industry include UIAutomator of Android development tools, Athrun of Taobao and other testing methods. UIAutomator is an automated testing tool that comes with the Android development tool ADT, but it only supports automated testing of devices above Android 4.1, and can only send test commands through the adb interface, and cannot actually simulate the execution of automated testing on the device. Taobao's Athrun test method is a JUnit-based test method. It can send automated test instructions to Android devices through the USB interface without the PC, but it uses the MonkeyRunner solution provided by Android for cross-application testing, so that the PC must be used to send automated tests to the Android device through the USB interface when testin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It can send automated test instructions to Android devices through the USB interface without the PC, but it uses the MonkeyRunner solution provided by Android for cross-application testing, so that the PC must be used to send automated tests to the Android device through the USB interface when testing cross-applications instruction

At the same time, due to the use of MonkeyRunner, the recording of scripts uses absolute coordinates, making it less flexible

[0003] The two methods mentioned above can only support the PC to send test commands through the USB port, and cannot directly initiate automated tests on the device without the PC, making manual intervention The cost increases and the flexibility of automated testing is greatly reduced
