[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0051] For ease of understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention are explained below.

[0052] Tracking: Detect events during the running of software applications, and judge and capture events that require attention when they occur.

[0053] Operation link: The operation record of the user in the process of accessing the page, including the link consisting of operations such as opening the page and clicking a certain function.

[0054] Page life cycle: The key time points of page loading, often including the moments when the page is opened, updated, and closed.

[0055] The design concept of the embodiments of the present application is introduced below.

[0056] Currently, when testing applications, updated applications are tested by pre-building a test environment. However, this test environment is only a simulated environment and cannot truly reflect the actual usage environment of the application. As a result, defects may still exist in the application after it is released, thus affecting the user experience.

[0057] Considering that if users are allowed to participate in application testing, the application can be run in the actual use environment, so that defects that may exist after the application is released can be discovered in time. In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for testing an application, the method comprising: obtaining the operation events of the first user in each page of the target application, the response information of the operation events, and the operation time. Then, a link node is constructed using each operation event and the response information of each operation event, and each link node is sorted according to the operation time to obtain the operation link of the first user. When the target application is updated, the operation link of the first user in the target application before the update is compared with the operation link of the first user in the target application after the update, and the test result of the updated target application is obtained.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's operation link is constructed based on the user's operation event, the response information of the operation event, and the operation time. When the target application is updated, the operation link of the first user in the target application before the update is compared with the operation link of the first user in the target application after the update to obtain the test result of the updated target application. By comparing the user's operation link in the new and old versions of the target application, the test result of the target application when the version is updated can be intuitively obtained, the accuracy of the version test can be improved, and the defects that may exist after the target application is released can be discovered in time, thereby improving the effect of application testing.

[0059] After introducing the design ideas of the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces the system architecture to which the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied. It should be noted that the system architecture introduced below is only used to illustrate the embodiments of the present application and is not limited. In specific implementation, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can be flexibly applied according to actual needs.

[0060] refer to Figure 1, which is a system architecture diagram of the method for testing an application provided in an embodiment of the present application. The architecture at least includes a first terminal device 101, a server 102 and a second terminal device 103.

[0061] The terminal device 101 may be installed with a target application, which may be a web version application or a client application preinstalled in the terminal device 101. The target application in the embodiment of the present application may be an e-commerce shopping application, an instant messaging application, a browser, etc. A buried point is pre-set in each page of the target application. When the first user operates in the page, the buried point obtains the operation event, response information of the operation event, and operation time of the first user in each page of the target application, and then sends the obtained operation event, response information of the operation event, and operation time to the server 102, wherein the operation event may be opening a page, closing a page, clicking on certain functions in a page, browsing a page, taking a screenshot of a page, updating a page, etc. The response information of the operation event may be an error message, page content, etc. The terminal device 101 may include one or more processors 1011, a memory 1012, an I / O interface 1013 interacting with the server 102, and a display panel 1014, etc. The terminal device 101 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0062] The server 102 may be a background server of the target application, providing corresponding services for the target application. The server 102 may also be an analysis server independent of the background server of the target application. After obtaining the operation events, response information of the operation events and operation time of the first user in each page of the target application, the server 102 uses each operation event and the response information of each operation event to construct a link node, and sorts each link node according to the operation time to obtain the operation link of the first user. When there is a target node whose response information is an error message in each link node of the operation link, the target node is determined as an abnormal node, and the position where the abnormality occurs in the target application is located according to the abnormal node. In addition, the server 102 may also send the operation link of the first user to the second terminal device 103 for display. The server 102 may include one or more processors 1021, a memory 1022 and an I / O interface 1023 interacting with the terminal device 101, etc. In addition, the server 102 may also configure a database 1024. The server 102 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The terminal device 101 and the server 102 may be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in this application.

[0063] A test application can be installed on the second terminal device 103. The test application can be a web version application or a client application pre-installed in the terminal device 103. The second terminal device 103 obtains the operation link of the first user from the server 102 and displays it in the test application. The second user can view the operation link of each first user or test the target application through the test application. When the target application is updated, the test application sends a test request to the server 102. The server 102 compares the operation link of the first user in the target application before the update with the operation link of the first user in the target application after the update, obtains the test result of the updated target application, and sends the test result to the test application. The test application displays the test result to the user. When the second user needs to view the link node in the operation link, he can click the link node in the operation link. The second terminal device 103 responds to the click operation of the second user and sends the first viewing request to the server 102. The server 102 sends the operation event of the link node and the response information of the operation event to the second terminal device 103. The second terminal device 103 displays the operation event of the link node and the response information of the operation event in the test application. In addition, the log system includes log information associated with each link node in the operation link. When the second user needs to view the log information of the link node, he can double-click the link node in the operation link. The second terminal device 103 responds to the second user's double-click operation and sends a second viewing request to the server 102. The server 102 sends the location information of the log information associated with the link node in the log system to the second terminal device 103. The second terminal device 103 locates the log information associated with the link node in the log system according to the received location information and displays it. The terminal device 103 may include one or more processors 1031, a memory 1032, an I / O interface 1033 interacting with the server 102, and a display panel 1034, etc. The terminal device 103 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, an intelligent speaker, a smart watch, etc., but is not limited thereto. The terminal device 103 and the server 102 may be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0064] based on Figure 1 The system architecture diagram shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a process of a method for testing an application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process of the method is executed by a device for testing an application, and the device for testing an application may be Figure 1 The server 102 shown includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S201: Acquire operation events of the first user in each page of the target application, response information of the operation events, and operation time.

[0066] Specifically, the target application may be an e-commerce shopping application, an instant messaging application, a browser, etc., and the operation event may be opening a page, closing a page, clicking certain functions on a page, sliding a page, taking a screenshot of a page, updating a page, etc. The response information of the operation event may be error information, page content, page version information, user information, etc.

[0067] Step S202: construct a link node using each operation event and the response information of each operation event, and sort each link node according to the operation time to obtain the operation link of the first user.

[0068] In a specific implementation, an operation event may include a function name and an operation name. For example, in an operation event "open page A", the function name is "page A" and the operation name is "open".

[0069] The following example illustrates the process of building an operation link. Suppose user M starts a browser, opens page A in the browser, and clicks function A-1 in page A. Opens page B in page A, first clicks function B-1 in page B, then clicks function B-2. Closes page B and opens page A, clicks function A-2 in page A, and then closes page A. Opens page C, enters C-1 in page C, then closes page C and closes the browser.

[0070] According to the operation, starting the browser and the response information of the browser are used as link node 1, opening page A and the response information of page A are used as link node 2, clicking function A-1 and the response information of function A-1 are used as link node 3, opening page B and the response information of page B are used as link node 4, clicking function B-1 and the response information of function B-1 are used as link node 5, clicking function B-2 and the response information of function B-2 are used as link node 6, closing page B and the response information of page B are used as link node 7, clicking function A-2 and the response information of function A-2 are used as link node 8, closing page A and the response information of page A are used as link node 9, opening page C and the response information of page C are used as link node 10, input C-1 and the response information of input C-1 are used as link node 11, closing page C and the response information of page C are used as link node 12, and closing the browser and the response information of the browser are used as link node 13. The above link nodes are connected in sequence to obtain the operation link, as shown in the following example. Figure 3 shown.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the life cycle of each page is marked in the operation link according to the page opening, clicking, closing and other operations. For example, Figure 3Based on the operation links shown, since link nodes 2, 3, 8, and 9 are all related to page A, these four nodes are marked as the life cycle of page A. Since link nodes 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all related to page B, these four nodes are marked as the life cycle of page B. Since link nodes 10, 11, and 12 are all related to page C, these three nodes are marked as the life cycle of page C. The specific operation links for marking page life cycles are as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0072] Step S203: when the target application is updated, the operation link of the first user in the target application before the update is compared with the operation link of the first user in the target application after the update, to obtain a test result of the updated target application.

[0073] In a specific implementation, when the target application is updated, the operation link of the first user in the target application will also change accordingly. For example, when a new function is added to a page of the target application, the operation link of the first user in the updated target application should also include the operation event and response information of the new function. Therefore, after comparing the operation link of the first user in the target application before the update with the operation link of the first user in the target application after the update, it can be tested whether the new function added to the target application is successful. If the corresponding operation links before and after the target application is updated are the same, it means that the target application update failed, otherwise it means that the target application update was successful.

[0074] Optionally, the first user may be one or more, and the operation links of the same first user in the new and old versions of the target application can be compared to obtain the test results of the updated target application. The operation links of different first users in the new and old versions of the target application can also be compared to obtain the test results of the updated target application. For example, set the number of first users to 20, and grayscale release the new version of the target application. The new version of the target application is released to 10 of the first users, and the other 10 first users continue to use the old version of the target application. Then, the operation links of the 10 first users using the new version of the target application are compared with the operation links of the 10 first users using the old version of the target application to obtain the test results of the updated target application.

[0075] In addition, the second user can also set an expected operation link for the updated target application, and then compare the operation link of the first user in the updated target application with the expected operation link. If the operation links are the same, it means that the target application is updated successfully, otherwise it means that the target application is updated unsuccessfully.

[0076] By comparing the operation links of users in the new and old versions of the target application, you can intuitively obtain the test results of the target application when the version is updated, improve the accuracy of version testing, and promptly discover possible defects after the target application is released, thereby improving the effectiveness of application testing.

[0077] Optionally, when there is a target node whose response information is error information among the link nodes of the operation link, the target node is determined as an abnormal node, and then the position where the abnormality occurs in the target application is located according to the abnormal node.

[0078] Specifically, the error information includes the error information of JS error, the error information of interface error and other abnormal error information. When the operation event triggers the abnormal function in the page, the page will feedback the error information.

[0079] Since the link node is related to the operation event, when the link node is an abnormal node, the operation event in the link node is an abnormal event, and the page corresponding to the operation event is the abnormal page in the target application. Figure 4 When the link node 5 shown is an abnormal node, the page B in the browser is an abnormal page, and the function B-1 in the page B is an abnormal function.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's operation link is constructed based on the user's operation event, the response information of the operation event and the operation time, so the abnormal situation of the target application can be timely known through the operation link, and when an abnormality occurs, the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application can be located based on the abnormal node in the operation link, without relying on the user to upload the log, thereby improving the efficiency of abnormality location.

[0081] Optionally, in the above step S201, the operation events of the first user in each page of the target application, the response information of the operation events and the operation time are obtained through the embedding points in each page of the target application.

[0082] In the specific implementation, standardized tracking is automatically performed in each page of the target application, where the tracking can be code tracking, visual tracking, full tracking, etc. When the user operates in the target application, the tracking will detect the user's operation, obtain the user's operation events in each page of the target application, the response information of the operation event, the operation time and other tracking data, and report them.

[0083] For example, Figure 5As shown, global tracking is performed in advance in each page of the target application. Tracking is used to detect page life cycle, operation events and system function anomalies. The page life cycle includes opening, updating and closing, and the operation behaviors include clicking, long pressing and sliding. System function anomalies include JS errors, interface errors and other anomalies. When any of the page life cycle, operation events and system function anomalies is triggered, tracking is detected and automatically generates tracking data, and then the tracking data is standardized. After that, the processed tracking data is collected and uploaded to the server. Since the pages are automatically standardized, the cost and errors of manual tracking are effectively reduced.

[0084] Optionally, in the above step S204, the embodiment of the present application provides at least the following implementation methods for locating the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application:

[0085] In a possible implementation, an operation event in an abnormal node and response information of the operation event are acquired, and a location where the abnormality occurs in a target application is located according to the operation event in the abnormal node and the response information of the operation event.

[0086] In a specific implementation, the specific code where the exception occurs in the target application can be located by analyzing the operation event in the abnormal node and the response information of the operation event.

[0087] In a possible implementation, log information associated with the abnormal node is obtained from a log system, and then the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application is located according to the log information associated with the abnormal node.

[0088] Specifically, the log system includes log information associated with each link node in the operation link. Optionally, each link node includes location information of the log information in the log system. When the link node is an abnormal node, the location information of the log information associated with the abnormal node in the log system can be obtained from the abnormal node, and then the log information associated with the abnormal node can be obtained from the log system based on the location information of the log information associated with the abnormal node in the log system, and then the location of the abnormality in the target application can be located based on the log information associated with the abnormal node. By establishing a connection between the link node and the location of the associated log information, when the link node is an abnormal node, the log information associated with the abnormal node can be quickly located from the log system, and then the abnormal location can be located based on the log information, thereby improving the efficiency of abnormal location.

[0089] In a possible implementation, the previous link node and the next link node of the abnormal node are determined from the operation link, and the abnormal position in the target application is located according to the abnormal node, the previous link node and the next link node of the abnormal node.

[0090] In specific implementation, some functional anomalies may not be caused by operation events in the abnormal node, but by operation events in the previous and next link nodes of the abnormal node. Therefore, the abnormal node, the previous link node of the abnormal node, and the next link node of the abnormal node can be combined to analyze the anomaly and locate the location where the anomaly occurs in the target application. It should be noted that when locating the location where the anomaly occurs in the target application, it is not limited to analyzing the anomaly in combination with the previous link node of the abnormal node and the next link node of the abnormal node. It can also be combined with the first two link nodes of the abnormal node to analyze the anomaly, or it can be combined with the first two link nodes of the abnormal node and the next two link nodes of the abnormal node to analyze the anomaly, etc. This application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, since some anomalies may not be caused by operation events in abnormal nodes, when the anomalies are analyzed in combination with the abnormal nodes and normal link nodes in the operation link, the accuracy of anomaly locating can be effectively improved.

[0092] Optionally, after the device for testing the application in the embodiment of the present application constructs the operation link of the first user, the operation link of the first user is sent to the terminal for display.

[0093] Specifically, the second user can directly observe the operation link of the first user on the terminal, and when an abnormality occurs in the system, the abnormal node in the operation link can be directly observed through the visual interface, and the abnormality can be quickly located.

[0094] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the first user starts the target application, opens page C in the target application, enters C-1 in page C, and then closes page C. Opens page D, clicks function D-1 in page D, closes page D, and closes the target application.

[0095] According to the operation time, the start target application and the response information of the target application are used as link node 1, the opening of page C and the response information of page C are used as link node 2, the input C-1 and the response information of input C-1 are used as link node 3, the closing of page C and the response information of page C are used as link node 4, the opening of page D and the response information of page D are used as link node 5, the clicking of function D-1 and the response information of function D-1 are used as link node 6, the closing of page D and the response information of page D are used as link node 7, and the closing of the target application is used as link node 8. The above link nodes are connected in sequence and the page life cycle is marked to obtain the operation link, and then the operation link is sent to the terminal for display, as shown in the following figure. Figure 6 By sending the operation link of the first user to the terminal for display, it is convenient for the second user to observe the operation link of the first user and find abnormalities in the operation link in time.

[0096] In one possible implementation, after the device for testing the application builds an operation link, it receives a first viewing request sent by the terminal, where the first viewing request is used to indicate viewing of a target link node. The first viewing request is sent by the terminal after detecting a first operation input by a second user. The device for testing the application sends an operation event in the target link node and response information of the operation event to the terminal.

[0097] In a specific implementation, the first operation may be a click, double-click, long press, or other operation. The second user may view the operation event in any link node in the operation link and the response information of the operation event. When the second user observes the operation link of the first user and finds that there is an abnormal node in the operation link, the second user may click the abnormal node in the operation link to obtain the operation event in the abnormal node and the response information of the operation event from the device of the test application. Then, the operation event in the abnormal node and the response information of the operation event are used to locate the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application.

[0098] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the second user observes the operation link of the first user and finds that the link node 3 in the operation link is an abnormal node, the second user can click the displayed link node 3 on the terminal interface. The terminal responds to the click operation of the second user and sends a first viewing request to the device for testing the application. The device for testing the application sends the operation event in the link node 3 and the response information of the operation event to the terminal. The terminal displays the operation event in the link node 3 and the response information of the operation event. The second user analyzes the operation event in the link node 3 and the response information of the operation event to locate the abnormal position in the target application.

[0099] In a possible implementation, after the device for testing the application builds the operation link, it receives a second viewing request sent by the terminal, the second viewing request is used to instruct to view the log information associated with the target link node, and the second viewing request is sent by the terminal after detecting the second operation input by the second user. The device for testing the application sends the location information of the log information associated with the target link node in the log system to the terminal.

[0100] In a specific implementation, the second operation may be a click, double-click, long press, or other operation. The second user may view the log information associated with any link node in the operation link. When the second user observes the operation link of the first user and finds that there is an abnormal node in the operation link, the second user may double-click the abnormal node in the operation link to obtain the location information of the log information associated with the abnormal node in the log system from the device of the test application. Then, the log information associated with the abnormal node is obtained from the log system according to the location information, and then the log information associated with the abnormal node is analyzed to locate the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application.

[0101] For example, Figure 8 As shown, when the second user observes the operation link of the first user and finds that the link node 4 in the operation link is an abnormal node, the second user can double-click the displayed link node 4 on the terminal interface. The terminal responds to the double-click operation of the second user and sends a second viewing request to the device for testing the application. The device for testing the application sends the location information of the log information associated with the link node 4 in the log system to the terminal. The terminal obtains the log information associated with the link node 4 in the log system based on the location information of the log information associated with the link node 4 in the log system. The second user analyzes the log information associated with the link node 4 and locates the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application.

[0102] While displaying the operation link to the second user, the second user is supported to query the link node and obtain the operation data and log information of the link node, so as to help the second user become familiar with the functions of the target application and locate the abnormal position.

[0103] In order to better explain the embodiment of the present application, the following describes the process of building an operation link and performing abnormality location and target application testing based on the operation link provided by the embodiment of the present application in combination with a specific implementation scenario. The method is interactively executed by a first terminal device, a second terminal device, and a server, and specifically includes:

[0104] The first terminal device automatically performs standardized tracking in each page of the target application. The tracking is used to detect the page life cycle, operation behavior and system function anomalies, where the page life cycle includes opening, updating, and closing, and the operation behavior includes clicking, long pressing and sliding. System function anomalies include JS errors, interface errors and other anomalies. When any of the page life cycle, operation behavior and system function anomalies is triggered, the tracking detection and automatic generation of tracking data is reported to the server. The server analyzes the tracking data, obtains the operation link, and then sends the operation link to the second terminal device for visual display. The displayed content includes the user's real-time operation link and the data in the link node. It also supports operation link query, log information query, etc. Fig. 9 shown.

[0105] When an abnormality occurs in the system, the server may automatically locate the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application, or the second user on the second terminal device may locate the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application.

[0106] Method 1: When the server determines that there is a target node whose response information is an error message in each link node of the operation link, the server locates the location where the exception occurs in the target application according to the operation event in the abnormal node and the response information of the operation event.

[0107] Method 2: When the second user observes the operation link displayed on the second terminal device and finds an abnormal node in the operation link, he can click the abnormal node in the operation link to obtain the operation event and the response information of the operation event in the abnormal node from the server. Then, the operation event and the response information of the operation event in the abnormal node are analyzed to locate the abnormal location in the target application.

[0108] When the target application is updated, the new version of the target application is released in grayscale, that is, the new version of the target application is given to some first users, and the other first users continue to use the old version of the target application, such as Fig.10 As shown, the tracking point will obtain the tracking point data of the first user in the old version of the target application and the tracking point data in the new version of the target application, and report it to the server. The server analyzes the tracking point data to obtain the old operation link and the new operation link of the first user. The server can compare the old operation link and the new operation link of the first user to obtain the test result of the updated target application. The server can also send the old operation link and the new operation link of the first user to the second terminal device for visual display. The second user can compare the old operation link and the new operation link to determine the test result of the target application.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's operation link is constructed based on the user's operation event, the response information of the operation event, and the operation time, so the abnormal situation of the target application can be timely known through the operation link, and when an abnormality occurs, the location where the abnormality occurs in the target application can be located based on the abnormal node in the operation link, and no longer relies on the user to upload the log, thereby improving the efficiency of abnormal location. By comparing the user's operation link in the new and old versions of the target application, the test results of the target application during the version update can be intuitively obtained, the accuracy of the version test can be improved, and at the same time, the defects that may exist after the target application is released can be discovered in time, improving the effect of application testing.
