An automated testing method and system for an android mobile terminal

Abstract

The present invention discloses an automated testing method for Android mobile terminal, the method comprising: when a test starting instruction input by a tester is received, automatically traversing and determining all Activity components of the Android mobile terminal; according to preset trigger contents, performing a corresponding triggering operation on each Activity component to obtain UI control information generated by each Activity component in response to its corresponding triggering operation; and realizing automated test on the Android mobile terminal according the UI control information of all Activity components. It is thus obvious that efficient and reliable automated test can be performed on the Android mobile terminal only by presetting trigger contents by the tester and directly giving a test starting instruction when a test is necessary. It is unnecessary for the tester to participate in the following process and the tester can make time to finish other works.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software testing, in particular to an automated testing method and system for an Android mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] Today, mobile terminal products have a fast delivery cycle and a short life cycle. In order to ensure fast delivery and stable performance of mobile terminals, it usually takes a lot of manpower and a long time to test mobile terminals. Specifically, for Android mobile As far as the terminal is concerned, people will use the Android emulator to perform performance testing. The Android emulator comes with a mobile emulator for the AndroidSDK, which is a virtual device that can run on a computer. The Android emulator allows people to preview, develop and test Android applications without using a physical device. [0003] Existing testing methods are usually manually tested step by step by the tester, for example, the tester manually traverses the Activity path one by one, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing testing methods are usually manually tested step by step by the tester, for example, the tester manually traverses the Activity path one by one, manually enters the trigger related content when needed, etc. In terms of mechanical repeatability, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. low efficiency

At the same time, due to the complexity of the mobile terminal software system, manual testing is difficult to fully cover the Activity path, which makes the reliability and accuracy of the test results unguaranteed

[0004] Also, in real life, although a general enterprise has a dedicated software testing team, the ratio of developers to testers is about 10:1, which is far from reaching the industry's 4:1, or the optimal configuration of development and testing at 1:2.

The long-term problem of insufficient manpower has caused serious overtime in this industry. Therefore, an efficient testing method is urgently needed
