A grayscale release method

Abstract

This specification discloses a grayscale publishing method and device, which can determine the corresponding traffic data and business data based on the business requests sent by each target user, and then determine the traffic index and business index based on the traffic data and business data. When the business index meets the preset business index conditions, and whether the traffic index meets the preset traffic index conditions, it is determined that the updated client version functions normally. If the business index meets but the traffic index does not meet, the target user is re-determined, and the traffic index and business index are re-determined until both meet. When the business index does not meet the preset business index conditions, it is determined that the updated client version functions abnormally. By determining the traffic index and business index in real time, and adjusting the target users according to the preset traffic index conditions, it is avoided that the insufficient number of target users leads to inaccurate analysis results, and the accuracy of grayscale publishing is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a grayscale publishing method. Background Art

[0002] At present, when updating applications (apps) and releasing new versions of apps, in order to avoid release risks and ensure the stability of the new version of apps, grayscale release is usually adopted. That is, some users are first guided to experience the new version of the app. When it is determined that the functions of the new version of the app are normal and stable, the scope of use of the new version of the app is gradually expanded.

[0003] Specifically, when the prior art performs a grayscale release, developers can deploy the business code that implements the functions of the new version of the app to a small number of servers in advance according to a predetermined grayscale release plan. After that, a preset number of users are selected from all users who use the app, and a prompt message of the app update is sent to these users, so that these users can update according to the prompt message. When the updated user sends a service request to the server through the gateway, the gateway can forward the service execution request of the updated user to the server where the new version of the app is deployed to use the functions of the new version of the app. Finally, when it is determined that the functions of the updated app are normal and stable based on the business data of these users, the scope of users using the new version of the app can be gradually expanded. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of this specification provide a grayscale release method and device for partially solving the problem in the prior art that when the number of users updating an application is small, the function of the new version of the application is not accurately judged based on the business data of these users, resulting in low accuracy of grayscale release.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this specification more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of this specification and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] Before a new version of an application is released, in order to avoid problems such as poor user experience and business execution failures when using the new version of the app and to reduce the risk of direct release, a smoother transition method is usually used to update and launch the application, such as grayscale release.

[0048] At present, when grayscale release is carried out, developers are generally required to manually operate and release it. Specifically, developers can first select a preset number of users according to the preset grayscale release plan, and send reminders to the selected users to update the app version to prompt users to update. After that, developers can analyze the business data of the updated users to determine whether the functions of the new version of the app are normal. If normal, the new version of the application can be released later.

[0049] However, since it is impossible to control the online status and update status of users, the number of users who update according to the prompt information is often less than the preset number. At this time, the conclusion drawn based only on the business data of the updated users is often not accurate enough, resulting in low accuracy of grayscale release.

[0050] Based on the above-mentioned problems, this manual provides a grayscale release method, which can automatically adjust the users for grayscale release by real-time monitoring of the target users' traffic data and business data to ensure that sufficient user business data is collected, test the functions of the new version of the app, and improve the accuracy of grayscale release.

[0051] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a grayscale publishing method provided in an embodiment of this specification may specifically include the following steps:

[0053] S100: Determine a service request sent by a target user from among received service requests.

[0054] The grayscale publishing method provided in this specification can be applied to the process of grayscale publishing of a web client application (web app) or a hybrid client application (hybrid app), and the grayscale publishing method can be specifically executed by a server that performs grayscale publishing. The server can be a single server or a system composed of multiple servers, such as a distributed server, etc. This specification does not impose any restrictions on this, and it can be set according to specific needs.

[0055] When performing grayscale release in this manual, it is necessary to deploy the business code that implements the functions of the new version of the app to a minimum number of business servers in advance. Afterwards, the server that executes the grayscale release process can select some users from the users who use the app as users for grayscale release according to the preset grayscale release quantity range. And send a prompt message to update the app version to the determined users, so that the user can update the app version. It should be noted that the grayscale release quantity range refers to the preset range of the number of users who test the new version of the app.

[0056] Among them, when determining the users for grayscale release according to the preset grayscale release quantity range, usually according to the lower limit of the quantity range, some users corresponding to the lower limit of the quantity are randomly determined from the users of the app as the users for grayscale release. It should be noted that in order to improve the accuracy of grayscale release, the preset grayscale release quantity range is usually pre-set based on the total number of users using the app, and the quantity range is expressed as the ratio of users for grayscale release to the total number of users using the app. For the convenience of description, the subsequent preset grayscale release quantity ranges are described in terms of the percentage of the number of users.

[0057] For example: assuming that the preset range of grayscale releases is (10%, 50%), that is, the number of users performing grayscale releases accounts for between 10% and 50% of the total number of users using the app, when performing grayscale releases, 10% of users can be randomly selected from the users using the app based on the lower limit of the range as users for grayscale releases.

[0058] Furthermore, in this specification, when determining the users who are to be released in grayscale from the users who use the app, the server can also determine the users who meet the preset filtering conditions according to the user data of all users and the preset filtering conditions as the users to be released in grayscale. The filtering conditions can be determined according to factors such as the city where the user is located, the type of terminal used by the user, the gender of the user, and the age of the user. The specific filtering conditions can be set according to business needs, and this specification does not limit this. Continuing with the above example, when determining 10% of the users who are to be released in grayscale, users whose city is Beijing can be determined according to the user data of each user, and 10% of the users can be determined as users to be released in grayscale.

[0059] In the embodiments of this specification, after sending the prompt information to the determined users, since it is impossible to predict the online status and update status of the users, not all users who receive the prompt information will update the app version. When evaluating the functions of the new version of the app, it can only be determined based on the business data of the users who have updated the app version. Therefore, the users who have updated the app version among the users who received the prompt information can be used as target users, and the business data of each target user can be used to determine whether the updated app version is complete.

[0060] Specifically, the server can monitor the service requests sent by the user through the client in real time, and determine the user identifier contained in each service request. Afterwards, based on the user identifiers contained in each service request and the user identifiers of each target user, the service request sent by the target user is determined, so that the function of the updated app version can be judged based on the service request sent by the target user. Real-time monitoring refers to periodic monitoring, usually 1 to 2 minutes.

[0061] In addition, when determining the service request sent by the target user, it can also be judged according to the unique identifier of the device corresponding to the target user. This specification does not limit how to determine the service request sent by the target user, and the specific method can be set according to needs.

[0062] S102: Determine the traffic data of the target user according to the determined service request of the target user, and determine the service data of the target user according to the service request of the target user and the service information returned by the server.

[0063] In the embodiment of this specification, after determining the service requests sent by each target user, the service data of each target user performing the service can be determined based on each service request, and the function of the new version of the app can be judged based on the service data of the target user. Furthermore, since not all users who receive the prompt information will update the app version, in order to avoid a small number of users who perform version updates and improve the accuracy of grayscale release, it is also necessary to determine the traffic data of each target user so as to adjust the number of target users through subsequent steps.

[0064] Specifically, the server can determine the traffic data of each target user according to the number of service requests sent by each target user, wherein the service request is used to access the function of this app version update. In addition, the server can determine the service information returned by the server that deploys the new version of the app function for each target user according to the service request sent by the target user, and determine the service data of the target user according to the service request sent by the target user and the received service information. Subsequently, the server can determine whether the number of target users is sufficient according to the traffic data of each target user, and determine whether the function of the new version of the app is complete according to the service data of each target user.

[0065] S104: Determine a traffic index of the target user according to the traffic data of the target user, and determine a service index of the target user according to the service data of the target user.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present specification, after determining the traffic data and business data of each target user, the server can determine the traffic indicators and business indicators of each target user based on the traffic data and business data, so as to determine whether the number of target users is sufficient and whether the functions of the new version of the app are complete based on the traffic indicators and business indicators.

[0067] Specifically, the server can determine the traffic proportion of the target user based on the traffic data of the determined target user and the total number of users using the app as the traffic indicator of the target user. In addition, the server can also determine the business indicator of the target user based on the business data of each determined target user. For example, assuming that each target user performs a payment service, the payment success rate of each target user can be determined based on the payment data of each target user as the business indicator of the payment service.

[0068] S106: When the business indicator meets the preset business indicator condition, determine whether the flow indicator meets the preset flow indicator condition. If yes, execute step S108; if no, execute step S110.

[0069] In the embodiments of this specification, after determining the traffic indicators and business indicators of the target users, the number of target users and the functions of the new version of the app can be judged. However, since the main purpose of grayscale release is to detect the functions of the new version of the app, and when the business indicators do not meet the standards, there is no need to judge the traffic indicators. The function of the new version of the app can be directly determined to be abnormal. However, when the traffic indicators do not meet the standards, the traffic indicators can be adjusted by adjusting the target users. Therefore, in this specification, the business indicators can be judged first, and then the traffic indicators can be judged, so as to reduce the waste of resources caused by determining that the traffic indicators meet the standards but the business indicators do not meet the standards.

[0070] Specifically, the server can determine whether the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions based on the business indicator of the target user. When the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions, it indicates that the function of the new version of the app is normal. At this time, the server can determine the traffic indicator of the target user and determine whether the traffic indicator meets the preset traffic indicator conditions, that is, whether the number of users accessing the new functions of the updated version is sufficient.

[0071] Among them, the business indicator conditions can be set based on business needs, for example: the business indicator conditions can be set to a payment success rate of 100%. Assuming that the business indicator is determined to be a payment success rate of 90% based on the payment business data of the target user, the business indicator does not meet the preset business indicator conditions, and it can be determined that the function of the new version of the app is abnormal. The flow indicator condition can be determined based on the preset grayscale release quantity range. For example: when the preset grayscale release quantity range is (10%, 50%), the flow indicator condition can be a fixed value, which is usually less than or equal to the lower limit of the grayscale release quantity range, such as: the flow indicator reaches 10%, or the flow indicator reaches 8%, etc. Alternatively, the flow indicator condition can also be an interval range, such as: the flow indicator reaches between (10%, 20%), etc.

[0072] S108: Determine whether the updated client version functions normally.

[0073] In the embodiment of this specification, when it is determined that the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions, and when it is determined that the traffic indicator meets the preset traffic indicator conditions, it means that under the condition that the number of target users is sufficient, the function of the new version of the app is normal and the new version of the app can be directly released subsequently.

[0074] S110: Re-determine the target user, and redetermine the traffic data and the service data based on the service request sent by the re-determined target user, and redetermine the traffic indicator and the service indicator respectively based on the re-determined traffic data and service data, until the re-determined service indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions and the re-determined traffic indicator meets the preset traffic indicator conditions.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present specification, when it is determined that the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions, but the traffic indicator does not meet the preset traffic indicator conditions, it indicates that the number of target users for testing is small. At this time, in order to improve the accuracy of grayscale release, the server can adjust the number of target users based on the determined traffic indicator to ensure that the number of target users for testing is sufficient.

[0076] Specifically, when it is determined that the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions, but the traffic indicator does not meet the preset traffic indicator conditions, the server can determine the traffic difference based on the determined traffic indicator and the preset traffic indicator conditions. Secondly, according to the determined traffic difference, the number of users for grayscale release is adjusted. Among them, since not all users who usually receive prompt information have updated the app version, it is necessary to expand the number of users for grayscale release to increase the number of target users and further improve the traffic indicator. Afterwards, according to the determined number of expanded users, users are expanded from users who use the app, and prompt information is sent to the expanded users so that the users update the app version according to the prompt information. Then, the users who update the version among the expanded users are added as target users to the target users determined in the above step S100.

[0077] Assuming that in step S100, according to the preset range of grayscale releases (10%, 50%), the preset traffic index condition is that the traffic index is at least greater than 10%, then it can be determined that the number of users who perform grayscale releases is 10%, and a prompt message for version update is sent to the determined 10% of users, but only 5% of users perform version update according to the prompt message, that is, the number of target users accounts for 5%. At this time, if the preset traffic index condition is to be met, the server can first determine to expand the number of users who perform grayscale releases by 5% based on the 5% traffic difference, and send a prompt message to the determined 5% of users to prompt the users to perform version update. Afterwards, the users who perform version update in the expanded 5% of users are added as target users to the above 5% of target users.

[0078] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present specification, when it is determined that the business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions, but the traffic indicator does not meet the preset traffic indicator conditions, the server can redetermine the users who perform grayscale release according to the preset grayscale release quantity range, and send a prompt message to the redetermined user to prompt the user to update the app version. Afterwards, the user who updates the version according to the prompt message will be re-targeted as the user. Continuing with the above example, when prompt messages are sent to 10% of the users, but only 5% of the users perform version updates, the server can redetermine 10% of the users according to the preset grayscale release quantity range (10%, 50%), and send a prompt message to the 10% of the users, and re-target the users who have updated the app version among the users who received the prompt message. Among them, the 5% of target users previously determined can perform version rollback and use the old version to perform business again.

[0079] In the embodiments of this specification, which of the above methods is used to redefine the target user can be set according to business needs, and this specification does not impose any limitation.

[0080] After redetermining the target user, the server can redetermine the traffic data and business data based on the business request of the redetermined target user, and redetermine the traffic indicator and business indicator respectively until the redetermined business indicator meets the preset business indicator conditions and the redetermined traffic indicator meets the preset traffic indicator conditions.

[0081] S112: When the business indicator does not meet the preset business indicator condition, it is determined that the updated client version has abnormal functions.

[0082] In the embodiment of this specification, when it is determined that the business indicator of the target user does not meet the preset business indicator conditions, it indicates that the function of the app of this updated version is abnormal and needs to be corrected. At this time, in order to ensure that the target user can use the app normally to perform business, the version of each target user can be rolled back, and the business request of each target user can be forwarded to the server of the old version of the app.

[0083] Furthermore, the server can also analyze the reasons for abnormal business execution based on the business data of each target user, and generate a grayscale release report so that developers can fix the abnormalities in the new version of the app based on the grayscale release report.

[0084] based on Figure 1The grayscale publishing method shown can determine the traffic data of the target user and the business data of the target user based on the business request sent by the target user when performing grayscale publishing. Then, the traffic index and business index are determined based on the determined traffic data and business data. When the business index meets the preset business index condition, it is judged whether the traffic index meets the preset traffic index condition. If it does not meet the preset traffic index condition, it is determined that the updated client version functions normally. If not, the target user is re-determined, and the traffic index and business index are re-determined until the re-business index meets the preset business index condition and the traffic index meets the preset traffic index condition. When the business index does not meet the preset business index condition, it is determined that the updated client version functions abnormally. Based on the traffic data and business data of the target user, the traffic index and business index are determined in real time, and the target user is adjusted according to the preset traffic index condition to avoid the problem of inaccurate analysis results caused by insufficient number of target users, thereby improving the accuracy of grayscale publishing.

[0085] In addition, in this specification, when the app version is updated, more than one business function may be updated in the new version of the app. Therefore, when determining the business indicators of the target users, multiple business indicators must also be determined, where each business indicator corresponds to a different updated business function. The preset business indicator conditions are also set for each updated business function. When any business indicator does not meet the preset business indicator conditions, it is determined that the updated app version is abnormal.

[0086] In this specification, when testing the functions of a new version of the app based on business indicators, the business indicator does not only refer to whether a certain business function can be realized, but also refers to indicators that affect user experience, such as business execution efficiency. Based on business indicators, not only the business execution functions in the new version of the app can be detected, but also whether the user experience of the new version of the app is good can be detected.

[0087] based on Figure 1 The grayscale publishing method shown in the embodiment of this specification also provides a structural schematic diagram of a grayscale publishing device, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0088] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a grayscale publishing device provided in an embodiment of this specification, the device comprising:

[0089] A first determination module 200 determines a service request sent by a target user from the received service requests, wherein the target user is a user used to test the updated client version in the phased release;

[0090] The second determination module 202 determines the flow data of the target user according to the determined service request of the target user, and determines the service data of the target user according to the service request of the target user and the service information returned by the server;

[0091] The third determination module 204 determines the flow index of the target user according to the flow data of the target user, and determines the service index of the target user according to the service data of the target user;

[0092] The judgment module 206 judges whether the flow indicator meets the preset flow indicator condition when the business indicator meets the preset business indicator condition. If so, it is determined that the updated client version functions normally. If not, the target user is re-determined, and the flow data and the business data are re-determined according to the business request sent by the re-determined target user, and the flow indicator and the business indicator are re-determined according to the re-determined flow data and business data, respectively, until the re-determined business indicator meets the preset business indicator condition and the re-determined flow indicator meets the preset flow indicator condition;

[0093] The fourth determination module 208 determines that the updated client version has abnormal functions when the business indicator does not meet the preset business indicator conditions.

[0094] Optionally, the grayscale release device further includes a prompt sending module 210, which is specifically used to determine the users who perform grayscale release according to a preset grayscale release quantity range, and send prompt information to the determined users, wherein the prompt information is used to prompt the users to update the client version, and each user who updates the client version according to the prompt information is regarded as a target user.

[0095] Optionally, the traffic indicator condition is determined based on a preset range of grayscale release numbers, and the judgment module 206 is specifically used to determine the traffic difference based on the determined traffic indicator and the preset traffic indicator condition, adjust the number of users performing grayscale release based on the traffic difference, send prompt information to the adjusted users so that the users update the client version based on the prompt information, and redetermine the target users based on each user who updates the client version among the users.

[0096] Optionally, the traffic indicator condition is determined based on a preset range of grayscale releases, and the judgment module 206 is specifically used to redetermine the users who perform grayscale releases based on the preset range of grayscale releases, send prompt information to the redetermined users so that the users update the client version according to the prompt information, and redetermine each user among the users who perform client version updates as the target users.

[0097] Optionally, there are multiple business indicators, and the fourth determination module 208 is further configured to determine that the updated client version has a malfunction when any business indicator does not meet a preset business indicator condition.

[0098] Optionally, the fourth determination module 208 is also used to roll back the version of the target user when the business indicator does not meet the preset business indicator condition, and determine the cause of the exception based on the business data of the target user to repair the updated version of the client.

[0099] The present specification also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program, which can be used to execute the above Figure 1 Provides a grayscale release method.

[0100] based on Figure 1 The grayscale publishing method shown in the specification also proposes Figure 3 The schematic structure diagram of the electronic device shown in FIG. Figure 3 At the hardware level, the electronic device includes a processor, an internal bus, a network interface, a memory, and a non-volatile memory, and may also include other hardware required for the business. The processor reads the corresponding computer program from the non-volatile memory into the memory and then runs it to achieve the above Figure 1 The grayscale release method shown.

[0101] Of course, in addition to software implementation, this specification does not exclude other implementation methods, such as logic devices or a combination of software and hardware, etc., that is to say, the executor of the following processing flow is not limited to each logic unit, but can also be hardware or logic devices.

[0102] In the 1990s, improvements to a technology could be clearly distinguished as hardware improvements (for example, improvements to the circuit structure of diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or software improvements (improvements to the method flow). However, with the development of technology, many improvements to the method flow today can be regarded as direct improvements to the hardware circuit structure. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming the improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Therefore, it cannot be said that an improvement in a method flow cannot be implemented using a hardware entity module. For example, a programmable logic device (PLD) (such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA)) is such an integrated circuit whose logical function is determined by the user's programming of the device. Designers can "integrate" a digital system on a PLD by programming it themselves, without having to ask a chip manufacturer to design and produce a dedicated integrated circuit chip. Moreover, nowadays, instead of manually making integrated circuit chips, this kind of programming is mostly implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used when developing and writing programs, and the original code before compilation must also be written in a specific programming language, which is called hardware description language (HDL). There is not only one HDL, but many kinds, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), Confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc. The most commonly used ones are VHDL (Very-High-Speed ​​Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog. Those skilled in the art should also know that it is only necessary to program the method flow slightly in the above-mentioned hardware description languages ​​and program it into the integrated circuit, and then it is easy to obtain the hardware circuit that implements the logic method flow.

[0103] The controller can be implemented in any appropriate manner, for example, the controller can take the form of a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing a computer-readable program code (such as software or firmware) that can be executed by the (micro)processor, a logic gate, a switch, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller. Examples of controllers include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320. The memory controller can also be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. Those skilled in the art also know that in addition to implementing the controller in a purely computer-readable program code manner, the controller can be implemented in the form of a logic gate, a switch, an application-specific integrated circuit, a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller by logically programming the method steps. Therefore, this controller can be considered as a hardware component, and the devices included therein for implementing various functions can also be regarded as structures within the hardware component. Or even, the devices for implementing various functions can be regarded as both software modules for implementing the method and structures within the hardware component.
