Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of APP platform testing, and more specifically, to an automated testing system and method for APP shell platform properties. Background Art

[0002] The APP Shell platform includes a backend management system and various terminal APPs. Its main business is to create corresponding configurable project management libraries for each project party in the backend management system and package new APP terminals with APP Shells.

[0003] Therefore, the APP shell has multiple different APP terminals and supports rapid iteration to generate new APP terminals. Therefore, its testing tasks often have the characteristics of short cycle, multiple terminals, and high repetitive workload. Moreover, once the APP shell platform function is changed, multiple terminals need to be retrospectively tested, which has high labor costs.

[0004] However, since each terminal APP is derived from a shell APP, their structures on the APP side are basically the same, and it is feasible to use the same set of scripts for testing. The APP shell has certain platform characteristics, and its functions can be divided into configurable modules and common modules. Therefore, an automation system and method are designed based on these characteristics of the APP shell. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be solved

And by controlling the value of the target APP parameter, the executed APP terminal and number are controlled.
