Android APP-based automatic exploration testing method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an Android APP-based automatic exploration testing method and system. The method includes: analyzing a to-be-tested APP, acquiring attribute information of the to-be-tested APP, and storing the same; formulating a corresponding exploration testing rule according to the attribute information; defining anomalies and formulating recovery mechanisms after anomaly occurrence according to the attribute information; executing an unattended exploratory testing; recursively processing generated operation instructions; if a constraint condition is triggered, stopping downward testing, and jumping to same-level testing or returning to a previous step; if the APP anomaly is triggered, executing the recovery mechanism, recording the anomaly, and continuing to execute exploratorytesting; and recording a testing process and result in a form of a file or an image in a process of executing exploratory testing. According to the method, efficiency of APP testing is effectively improved, and operations which are unnecessary to occur in testing are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of Android APP testing, in particular to an Android APP-based automatic exploration testing method and system. Background technique [0002] The current mainstream exploratory testing for Android APP is mainly done through Monkey testing. During the long-term testing process of the random command of this tool, there will be the following problems: [0003] 1. It is impossible to effectively avoid some events that should not be triggered. For example, when there are function buttons for making calls, sending emails or comments on the current interface of the tested APP, the Monkey test will trigger these functions, causing unnecessary trouble. [0004] 2. When the APP crashes, the exploratory test cannot be continued; [0005] 3. When the APP exits, the exploratory test cannot be continued. When the Monkey test triggers the APP’s return button multiple times, it will fall back to the mobile desktop, and the next seri...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. It is impossible to effectively avoid some events that should not be triggered. For example, when there are function buttons for making calls, sending emails or comments on the current interface of the tested APP, the Monkey test will trigger these functions, causing unnecessary trouble.

[0004] 2. When the APP crashes, the exploratory test cannot be continued;

[0005] 3. When the APP exits, the exploratory test cannot be continued. When the Monkey test triggers the APP’s return button multiple times, it will fall back to the mobile desktop, and the next series of test actions will do meaningless work;

[0006] 4. When a third-party APP is triggered, it cannot be effectively rolled back. For example, when functions such as sharing and payment are triggered, this function will be executed. These functions do not belong to the functions of testing the APP, so these operations are meaningless operations

[0007] To sum up, the current Android APP testing tools still have the problems of imperfect functions and low efficiency.
