Method for testing mobile application in batch and equipment used in method

Abstract

The invention provides a method for testing mobile application in batch and equipment used in the method. The method for testing the mobile application in batch has the beneficial effects that much equipment can be tested at the same time, and development and maintenance cost is greatly saved; besides, parallel test on mobile application is emphasized, namely mobile equipment is tested in a multi-platform, multi-resolution and multi-language environment, and saving of testing time is more emphasized; and compared with the condition that analysis is carried out by virtue of a test matrix, a tester can adopt the method provided by the invention for greatly improving testing efficiency, the method provided by the invention can help the tester to realize high coverage rate, and on the basis of high testing coverage rate, the tester does not need to consider a risk, caused by adopting the matrix analysis, of choice of test content; meanwhile, the method provided by the invention also can be adopted by a mobile phone manufacturer, and the sampling rate of mobile equipment during sample testing before the mobile equipment leave a factory can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of testing of mobile equipment and applications, and can be applied to mobile application development industries, mobile phone manufacturing industries and other related industries involving mobile application development and testing. Background technique [0002] Compatibility testing is an important part of mobile application testing. Mobile application compatibility testing involves a wide range of dimensions, mainly including screen resolution, network environment, multilingual environment and other test factors. Each of these factors may have multiple possibilities (for example: when a mobile application needs to be tested in 8 resolutions, 8 multilingual environments, and 3 network environments, then a total of 8x8x3 = 192 possibilities need to be tested ). In order to improve the coverage rate of the test and shorten the test cycle, the existing technology mainly has the following two methods to solve this pro...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1). Automated testing: Automated testing of applications by writing test scripts without manual intervention. The main problems of automated testing in improving coverage include: 1) The cost of developing and writing automated test scripts is high, and maintenance costs often increase with the The rapid increase due to the change of the test application interface cannot well adapt to the trend of short mobile development cycle and rapid change of application interface

2) In actual operation, the execution of automated tests is often serial, that is, a scene (that is, one for each test factor, for example, in a resolution and a language), followed by a scene test, in the face When a large number of scenarios are required, it often means that the test time increases, and it also poses a big challenge to the stability of the automated test itself.

The main problem of matrix analysis in solving test coverage is that analysis from a purely mathematical perspective cannot completely avoid the risk of missing coverage

For example, in a specific language environment, the application crashes due to the presence of special characters in the displayed text. This type of problem can only be found in the actual test scene, but it may be missed by the matrix analysis method.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for batch testing mobile phone applications and the equipment used therein, aiming to solve the problems of high development and maintenance costs, long time consumption, low efficiency and inability to completely avoid testing in the prior art. risk issue
