Method and system for recording user operation of Android program

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recording user operation of an Android program. The method is adopted to record user operation of the Android program by using a code injection mechanism, and comprises the following steps: decompiling a tested Android program so as to acquire a Smali file of the tested Android program; modifying the Smali file of the tested Android program on the basis of a reference Android program for recording the user operation, and inserting a code row for implementing a recording function in the reference Android program into the Smali file of the tested Android program, so as to acquire a modified Smali file; compiling the modified Smali file so as to acquire a new tested Android program; implementing the new tested Android program, and recording the operation process of a user. The invention further relates to a system for recording the user operation of the Android program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recording user operations of a tested Android program. The method uses a code injection mechanism to record the user operations of the tested Android program. The invention also relates to a system for recording user operations of a tested Android program. Background technique [0002] As the Android system is more and more widely used, the number of Android programs is also increasing rapidly. Android programs are mostly developed in Java. You can use tools to decompile Android programs to obtain resource files and Smali language source files. You can also use tools to recompile the decompiled resource files and Smali language source files to generate Android programs. . [0003] In order to ensure the quality of Android programs, developers need to spend a lot of time for testing. Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual testing method, the Android-based automated testing system has a wide r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] The first method cannot be separated from the PC, and cannot automatically record anytime, anywhere

Moreover, there are differences between the UI simulated on the PC and the UI of the actual Android program, which cannot be completely simulated.

Tool convenience and practicability are poor

[0010] In the second method, the View layer and the Android program need to perform additional communication and data transfer, which will affect the response speed of the Android program, and various operations on the View layer will contain many invalid actions, which in turn will cause the recording result to contain invalid content. And affect the recording accuracy and subsequent automated test accuracy

[0011] The third method is to modify the Android object by modifying the inheritance relationship of the Smali file. Due to the different viewing angles and positioning strengths, user operations may not be accurately recorded.
