Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automation technology, and in particular to an automated testing method and system for EPG pages and programs of an intelligent set-top box, and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the interactive Internet TV (IPTV) service, EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is the TV page, including the homepage EPG, each column EPG, channel program list, etc. Users use the remote control to operate the EPG to select channels or programs to play. With the development of IPTV services, the programs operated are very rich, the pages are numerous, the update frequency is high, and the user groups are many. It is no longer possible to detect page errors and program playback errors in time by manual inspection. Therefore, in recent years, the IPTV service automatic testing service has emerged to perform traversal testing and error detection on EPG pages and programs.

[0003] Some existing automated testing systems send infrared commands through specific hardware to simulate the infrared control buttons of the set-top box remote control to achieve remote and automatic operation control of the set-top box. On the one hand, this infrared remote control automatic testing method is prone to mutual interference between set-top boxes and affect the test results when multiple devices are tested simultaneously. On the other hand, infrared remote control automatic testing has difficulties in complex page logic judgment, such as the new generation of HTML5 and CSS3 waterfall flow pages, ordering page branch logic, etc.

[0004] Another automated testing method is to use adb (Android Debug Bridge, which plays the role of a debugging bridge) for automatic testing. Since smart set-top boxes use the Android operating system, they also support adb automatic testing. However, the current adb testing of set-top boxes mainly focuses on fatigue testing of devices and automated testing with relatively fixed script instruction sets. There is still a lack of mature applications for large-scale EPG page and program playback automatic testing with non-fixed instruction sets. Summary of the invention

For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0051] The embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic testing method for EPG pages and programs of a smart set-top box, such as Figure 1As shown, including:

[0052] S101, basic operation instructions and task strategies for arranging tasks;

[0053] S102, sending corresponding operation instructions to the set-top box, and the set-top box automatically accesses the IPTV EPG page, program, and channel according to the operation instructions;

[0054] S103, performing task result analysis on the operation instructions of each step, and outputting the analysis result;

[0055] S104, making task decisions based on the output analysis results and task strategies, providing instructions for the next task execution or outputting task feedback information;

[0056] S105: Execute corresponding task operations according to the instructions for executing the next task.

[0057] The automatic testing method for EPG pages and programs of an intelligent set-top box provided by an embodiment of the present invention can avoid interference between infrared devices on the one hand, and on the other hand, proposes a set-top box automatic testing method suitable for a non-fixed instruction set, which can automatically realize complex page traversal, thereby completing the automatic testing tasks of IPTV EPG pages, programs and channels.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 2A-2C As shown, Figure 2A and Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automated test system. Figure 2C The structure diagram of the automatic test system and the intelligent set-top box is shown in FIG. The intelligent set-top box EPG page and program automatic test software run on the automatic test system. The automatic test system includes an adb server and an EPG page and program automatic test software. The EPG page and program automatic test software communicate with the Daemon (adbd) of the intelligent set-top box through the adb server. The EPG page and program automatic test software include a task scheduling module 101, a task execution module 105, a remote controller instruction sending module 102, an adb log collection module 106, a task result analysis module 103, a task decision module 104, a task feedback module 107, a basic data maintenance module 108, and basic data such as an EPG URL feature library, a task strategy library, and a log feature library. The automatic test system uses an adb server to connect to the intelligent set-top box, sends a remote controller instruction set through an adb shell, and traverses and accesses EPG pages, programs, and channels.

[0059] In some embodiments, step S101 arranges basic operation instructions and task strategies of the task, specifically including:

[0060] The operation instruction set of the fixed entry column of the scheduling task, the operation instruction set and judgment method of the non-fixed entry column, the ordering task strategy instruction set and the fault error strategy instruction set.

[0061] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The figure is a diagram of task arrangement and task execution flow. Task arrangement involves two types of automatic test tasks: fixed entry columns and non-fixed entry columns. Fixed entry columns refer to column entrances that can be reached through a fixed remote control instruction set (steps), such as the home page, the main column of the home page, etc.; non-fixed entry columns refer to column entrances where the remote control instruction steps are variable. For example, the relative position of the recommended column may change, resulting in non-fixed remote control instruction steps. The task setting of the non-fixed entry column is to combine the upper parent column entrance and the same level traversal, and judge the correctness of the entrance according to the URL characteristics of the non-fixed entry column.

[0062] During the automatic execution of tasks, you may encounter ordering pages and fault error pages, and the corresponding remote control instruction sets are not fixed. Therefore, the task arrangement also provides the URL judgment method and order processing instruction set for order processing, as well as the fault error code judgment method and fault processing instruction set.

[0063] The corresponding instruction set is a combination of remote control commands. Through the task execution module, it is executed on the set-top box terminal in adb shell mode. Each step of the fixed entry column is fixed. For the non-fixed entry column of the task, when the task is executed, the correctness of the non-fixed entry column is judged by combining the fixed instruction set of the upper parent column and the non-fixed entry column URL features during the same-layer traversal.

[0064] The execution method of a single remote control command is: adb shell input keyevent digital key value

[0065] Some of the main key values ​​are as follows:

[0066] Home 181;

[0067] Interaction / menu:82 (Exit IPTV APK);

[0068] Returns: 4;

[0069] Confirmed: 23;

[0070] Desktop: 3 (launcher);

[0071] Left 21:;

[0072] 19 on;

[0073] Next page 93;

[0074] Right 22;

[0075] Next 20;

[0076] Previous page 92;

[0077] Play / Pause: 85;

[0078] Channel plus 166

[0079] Channel minus 167.

[0080] In some embodiments, step S103 performs task result analysis on the operation instruction of each step, specifically including:

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the task result analysis process. The adb log is collected in real time, and the task result analysis is performed in combination with the EPG URL feature library, task strategy library, and log feature library.

[0082] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the task result analysis includes:

[0083] KeyEvent log analysis, http url log analysis, fault code log analysis, player log analysis and channel join and leave log analysis.

[0084] Among them, KeyEvent log analysis: for each remote control command adb shellinput keyevent number issued during task execution, the set-top box will generate a corresponding keyevent log. The purpose of KeyEvent log analysis is to compare with the instructions executed by the task to determine the validity of the instructions, the execution time of the instructions, and the time matching of the subsequent execution results.

[0085] http url log analysis: Based on the collected http url access logs, combined with the EPG URL feature library, a comparison analysis is performed. Based on the return code of the http url, the correctness of the column access return can be determined.

[0086] Fault code log analysis: Extract fault codes based on the fault error information in the log and match them with the fault code library in the log feature library.

[0087] Player log analysis, channel join and leave log analysis: extract information from player and channel join and leave behavior logs, match them with the log feature library, and obtain the player status and channel join and leave status results.

[0088] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The following is a diagram of the task decision process. The task decision is made based on the output analysis results and task strategy, including:

[0089] Correctness judgment of the fixed entry column entrance, task decision of the non-fixed entry column, lower-level entry traversal, lower-level loop traversal, waterfall flow EPG judgment, remote control up, down, left, and right boundary judgment, multi-page page turning judgment, ordering task branch decision, fault error branch decision.

[0090] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, according to the output results of the task result analysis, task decision judgment is made, instructions for the next task execution are provided, or task feedback information is output.

[0091] Task decision-making requires multiple judgments and the arrangement of the next task (not a fixed set of instructions). It includes:

[0092] (1) Judgment on correctness of fixed entry column entry: Although the fixed entry column has a fixed remote control command set, when confirming the entry, it is further confirmed based on the EPG URL features and http log return status that the entry of the fixed entry column is correct and the link is accessible.

[0093] (2) Task decision for non-fixed entry columns: Non-fixed entry columns must first enter the parent column entrance, and then send remote control commands to traverse and access the focus of the same level. This is a process of continuous remote control movement, determination, and return to achieve same-level traversal. During the same-level traversal process, it is determined whether the non-fixed entry column has been reached based on the EPG URL characteristics.

[0094] (3) Traversal of lower-level entrances: After the entrance of the overall task is determined, it is necessary to perform the traversal of the lower-level entrances and provide feedback on whether the lower-level entrances are accessed correctly.

[0095] (4) Subsequent lower-level loop traversal: For the lower-level entry, it is necessary to arrange for the subsequent lower-level loop traversal and provide feedback on whether the subsequent lower-level access is correct.

[0096] (5) Waterfall EPG judgment: Generally speaking, the clickable focus on a page is fixed, but the waterfall EPG is not fixed. When the focus moves to the boundary, a new image is dynamically loaded and a new focus appears. Waterfall is a common technology used in the new generation of EPG. When traversing the same level of focus on each page, a waterfall judgment must be performed. The judgment rule is whether there is a new http load after the remote control moves up, down, left, and right. If so, it is a waterfall loading, which means that the traversal has not yet ended and a new movement command task needs to be arranged in the same direction.

[0097] (6) Determine whether the remote control has reached the boundary in the up, down, left, or right direction: For each page, when there is no waterfall or the waterfall ends, it is also necessary to determine whether the remote control has reached the boundary in this direction and will not move further. (The human eye can easily determine this, but in automatic testing, the machine needs to make automatic determinations.) The determination method is that if the focus is moved in the same direction and the http url clicked is the same as the url clicked in the previous focus, it is considered that the remote control has reached the boundary in this direction. Otherwise, continue to arrange movement instructions and click confirmation instructions in the same direction.

[0098] (7) Judgment of multi-page page turning: Since some pages have multi-page turning, in order to traverse multiple pages, after the same-level traversal of this page is completed, the remote control page turning command is arranged to see if there is a new http url access record.

[0099] (8) Order task branch decision: When the remote control determines that the command has been issued, if an http URL matches the order task, the order task branch is executed according to the order task strategy.

[0100] (9) Fault error branch decision: When the task result analysis issues a fault error code, feedback is recorded according to the fault handling task strategy, and a return or home key is issued, or a set-top box restart command is issued to continue execution.

[0101] Specifically, a stand-alone system for automatic testing of EPG pages and programs: a stand-alone automatic testing system is designed to control one or more set-top boxes to perform page and program traversal testing and output a test report.

[0102] Specifically, EPG page and program automatic testing network system: design a networked automatic testing system to control multiple set-top boxes to perform page and program traversal testing, and summarize the output results into a reporting system.

[0103] In summary, this solution uses a standard adb connection to design a set of automated testing methods for EPG pages and programs. The advantages of this solution are that on the one hand, it avoids interference between infrared devices, and on the other hand, it can obtain more abundant information (such as fault codes, player information, channel joining and leaving information) from adb log, which is more conducive to judging the effect of set-top box execution. In addition, the present invention proposes an automated test of EPG pages and programs for smart set-top boxes, which uses adb to connect to smart set-top boxes, sends remote control instruction sets through adb shell, and traverses and accesses EPG pages, programs and channels. For complex IPTV EPG pages, rich programs and channel content, the present invention proposes a set of task execution, task result analysis, and task decision methods that support non-fixed instruction sets, automatically making waterfall EPG judgments, remote control up and down, left and right to boundary judgments, multi-page page turning judgments, ordering task branch decisions, and fault error branch decisions, so that very complex non-fixed instruction set page traversal can be automatically completed. It is suitable for the automated testing of the new generation of IPTV EPG pages, programs, and channels of 4K smart set-top boxes.

[0104] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides an automatic testing system for EPG pages and programs of a smart set-top box, such as Figure 2A As shown, including:

[0105] Task scheduling module 101, task scheduling module 101 is used to schedule basic operation instructions and task strategies of tasks;

[0106] The remote control command sending module 102 is used to send corresponding operation instructions to the set-top box, and the set-top box automatically accesses the IPTV EPG page, program, and channel according to the operation instructions;

[0107] The task result analysis module 103 is used to analyze the task result of each step of the operation instruction and output the analysis result;

[0108] The task decision module 104 is used to make a task decision based on the output analysis results and task strategy to provide instructions for the next task execution or output task feedback information;

[0109] The task execution module 105 is used to execute the corresponding task operation according to the instruction of the next task execution.

[0110] Specifically, Figure 2A-2C As shown, Figure 2A and Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automated test system. Figure 2CThe structure diagram of the automatic test system and the intelligent set-top box is shown in FIG. The intelligent set-top box EPG page and program automatic test software run on the automatic test system. The automatic test system includes an adb server and an EPG page and program automatic test software. The EPG page and program automatic test software communicate with the Daemon (adbd) of the intelligent set-top box through the adb server. The EPG page and program automatic test software include a task scheduling module 101, a task execution module 105, a remote controller instruction sending module 102, an adb log collection module 106, a task result analysis module 103, a task decision module 104, a task feedback module 107, a basic data maintenance module 108, and basic data such as an EPG URL feature library, a task strategy library, and a log feature library. The automatic test system uses an adb server to connect to the intelligent set-top box, sends a remote controller instruction set through an adb shell, and traverses and accesses EPG pages, programs, and channels.

[0111] The intelligent set-top box EPG page and program automatic testing system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can avoid interference between infrared devices on the one hand, and on the other hand, proposes a set-top box automatic testing method suitable for a non-fixed instruction set, which can automatically realize complex page traversal, thereby completing the automatic testing tasks of IPTV EPG pages, programs and channels.

[0112] In some embodiments, Figure 2A As shown, the task scheduling module 101 is specifically used for scheduling the fixed entry column operation instruction set of the task, the non-fixed entry column operation instruction set and the judgment method, the ordering task strategy instruction set and the fault error strategy instruction set.

[0113] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The figure is a flowchart of the work of the task scheduling module 101 and the task execution module. Task scheduling involves two types of automatic test tasks: fixed entry columns and non-fixed entry columns. Fixed entry columns refer to column entrances that can be reached through a fixed remote control instruction set (steps), such as the home page, the main column of the home page, etc.; non-fixed entry columns refer to column entrances where the remote control instruction steps are variable. For example, the relative position of the recommendation column may change, resulting in non-fixed remote control instruction steps. The task setting of the non-fixed entry column is to combine the upper parent column entrance and the same level traversal, and judge the correctness of the entrance according to the non-fixed entry column URL characteristics.

[0114] During the automatic execution of tasks, you may encounter ordering pages and fault error pages, and the corresponding remote control instruction sets are not fixed. Therefore, the task arrangement also provides the URL judgment method and order processing instruction set for order processing, as well as the fault error code judgment method and fault processing instruction set.

[0115] The corresponding instruction set is a combination of remote control commands. Through the task execution module, it is executed in the set-top box terminal in adb shell mode. Each step of the fixed entry column is fixed. For the non-fixed entry column of the task, the automated test system, when executing the task, the task scheduling module 101 is specifically used to combine the fixed instruction set of the upper parent column and the non-fixed entry column URL features during the same-layer traversal to determine the correctness of the non-fixed entry column.

[0116] The execution method of a single remote control command is: adb shell input keyevent digital key value

[0117] Some of the main key values ​​are as follows:

[0118] Home 181

[0119] Interaction / menu:82(Exit IPTV APK)

[0120] Returns: 4

[0131] Channel minus 167.

[0132] In some embodiments, Figure 2B and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a flowchart of the work of the task result analysis module. The automated testing system for the EPG page and program of the smart set-top box also includes an adb log collection module 106. The adb log collection module 106 is used to collect adb logs (adb logs) in real time. The task result analysis module 103 is used to perform task result analysis in combination with the EPG URL feature library, the task strategy library, and the log feature library.

[0133] Specifically, Figure 2B and Figure 4 As shown, the task result analysis module 103 is specifically used for KeyEvent log analysis, http url log analysis, fault code log analysis, player log analysis and channel join and leave log analysis.

[0134] Among them, KeyEvent log analysis: for each remote control command adb shellinput keyevent number issued during task execution, the set-top box will generate a corresponding keyevent log. The purpose of KeyEvent log analysis is to compare with the instructions executed by the task to determine the validity of the instructions, the execution time of the instructions, and the time matching of the subsequent execution results.

[0135] http url log analysis: Based on the collected http url access logs, combined with the EPG URL feature library, a comparison analysis is performed. Based on the return code of the http url, the correctness of the column access return can be determined.

[0136] Fault code log analysis: Extract fault codes based on the fault error information in the log and match them with the fault code library in the log feature library.

[0137] Player log analysis, channel join and leave log analysis: extract information from player and channel join and leave behavior logs, match them with the log feature library, and obtain the player status and channel join and leave status results.

[0138] In some embodiments, Figure 2B and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The task decision module 104 is a flowchart of the task decision module 104. The task decision module 104 is specifically used for:

[0139] Correctness judgment of the fixed entry column entrance, task decision of the non-fixed entry column, lower-level entry traversal, lower-level loop traversal, waterfall flow EPG judgment, remote control up, down, left, and right boundary judgment, multi-page page turning judgment, ordering task branch decision, fault error branch decision.

[0140] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, according to the output results of the task result analysis and the task strategy, the task decision is judged, and the instructions for the next task execution are provided, or the task feedback information is output.

[0141] Task decision-making requires multiple judgments and the arrangement of the next task (not a fixed set of instructions). It includes:

[0142] (1) Judgment on correctness of fixed entry column entry: Although the fixed entry column has a fixed remote control command set, when confirming the entry, it is further confirmed based on the EPG URL features and http log return status that the entry of the fixed entry column is correct and the link is accessible.

[0143] (2) Task decision for non-fixed entry columns: Non-fixed entry columns must first enter the parent column entrance, and then send remote control commands to traverse and access the focus of the same level. This is a process of continuous remote control movement, determination, and return to achieve same-level traversal. During the same-level traversal process, it is determined whether the non-fixed entry column has been reached based on the EPG URL characteristics.

[0144] (3) Traversal of lower-level entrances: After the entrance of the overall task is determined, it is necessary to perform the traversal of the lower-level entrances and provide feedback on whether the lower-level entrances are accessed correctly.

[0145] (4) Subsequent lower-level loop traversal: For the lower-level entry, it is necessary to arrange for the subsequent lower-level loop traversal and provide feedback on whether the subsequent lower-level access is correct.

[0146] (5) Waterfall EPG judgment: Generally speaking, the clickable focus on a page is fixed, but the waterfall EPG is not fixed. When the focus moves to the boundary, a new image is dynamically loaded and a new focus appears. Waterfall is a common technology used in the new generation of EPG. When traversing the same level of focus on each page, a waterfall judgment must be performed. The judgment rule is whether there is a new http load after the remote control moves up, down, left, and right. If so, it is a waterfall loading, which means that the traversal has not yet ended and a new movement command task needs to be arranged in the same direction.

[0147] (6) Determine whether the remote control has reached the boundary in the up, down, left, or right direction: For each page, when there is no waterfall or the waterfall ends, it is also necessary to determine whether the remote control has reached the boundary in this direction and will not move further. (The human eye can easily determine this, but in automatic testing, the machine needs to make automatic determinations.) The determination method is that if the focus is moved in the same direction and the http url clicked is the same as the url clicked in the previous focus, it is considered that the remote control has reached the boundary in this direction. Otherwise, continue to arrange movement instructions and click confirmation instructions in the same direction.

[0148] (7) Judgment of multi-page page turning: Since some pages have multi-page turning, in order to traverse multiple pages, after the same-level traversal of this page is completed, the remote control page turning command is arranged to see if there is a new http url access record.

[0149] (8) Order task branch decision: When the remote control determines that the command has been issued, if an http URL matches the order task, the order task branch is executed according to the order task strategy.

[0150] (9) Fault error branch decision: When the task result analysis issues a fault error code, feedback is recorded according to the fault handling task strategy, and a return or home key is issued, or a set-top box restart command is issued to continue execution.

[0151] Specifically, a stand-alone system for automatic testing of EPG pages and programs: a stand-alone automatic testing system is designed to control one or more set-top boxes to perform page and program traversal testing and output a test report.

[0152] Specifically, EPG page and program automatic testing network system: design a networked automatic testing system to control multiple set-top boxes to perform page and program traversal testing, and summarize the output results into a reporting system.

[0153] In summary, this solution uses a standard adb connection to design a system for automatic testing of EPG pages and programs. The advantages of this solution are that on the one hand, it avoids interference between infrared devices, and on the other hand, it can obtain more abundant information (such as fault codes, player information, channel joining and leaving information) from adb log, which is more conducive to judging the effect of set-top box execution. In addition, in addition, a kind of intelligent set-top box EPG page and program automatic testing proposed by the present invention uses adb to connect the intelligent set-top box, sends the remote control instruction set through adb shell, and traverses and accesses EPG pages, programs and channels. For complex IPTV EPG pages, rich programs and channel content, the present invention proposes a set of task execution, task result analysis, and task decision methods that support non-fixed instruction sets, automatically making waterfall EPG judgments, remote control up and down, left and right to boundary judgments, multi-page page turning judgments, ordering task branch decisions, and fault error branch decisions, so that very complex non-fixed instruction set page traversal can be automatically completed. It is suitable for the automatic testing of the new generation of IPTV EPG pages, programs, and channels of 4K smart set-top boxes.
