Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of software testing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, computing device, and storage medium for determining page addresses in page comparison testing. Background Technology

[0002] Page comparison testing, also known as A / B testing, involves creating two or more versions of a web page or application page and having different visitor groups (i.e., the target audience) with the same or similar composition randomly access these versions at the same time. User experience data and business data are collected from each visitor group, and finally, the most suitable version is analyzed and evaluated for official adoption.

[0003] For example, if a shopping website wants to launch a new promotional campaign, it designs multiple versions of the campaign page for initial page comparison testing. The traffic to each version of the campaign page is divided, and based on the completion of the page's functional goals, the differences in traffic to different versions of the campaign page are measured. The final version of the campaign page can then be determined based on these differences.

[0004] However, commonly used A / B testing platforms or tools typically employ simple parameter replacement methods to ensure the consistency of page parameters across the pages being compared during page comparison. They have relatively fixed and strict requirements for page addresses, do not support path parameters in page addresses, and have limited application scenarios, especially in situations where the page addresses of the pages being compared vary significantly.

[0005] Therefore, a method for determining page addresses in page comparison tests is needed to optimize the above processing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a scheme for determining page addresses in page comparison tests, in an attempt to solve or at least alleviate the problems mentioned above.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for determining a page address in a page comparison test is provided, comprising the following steps: First, taking the current page to be compared in the page comparison test as the first page and obtaining the page address of the first page; selecting a page to be compared from a set of pages associated with the first page as the second page, the page set including multiple pages to be compared; determining whether the first page and the second page are consistent; if the first page and the second page are inconsistent, adjusting the page address of the first page according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page.

[0008] Optionally, in the page address determination method for page comparison testing according to the present invention, the step of determining whether the first page and the second page are consistent includes: parsing the page address of the first page to extract the corresponding parameter set; comparing the extracted parameter set with the page address template of the second page; and determining whether the first page and the second page are consistent based on the comparison result.

[0009] Optionally, in the page address determination method in the page comparison test according to the present invention, the page address template includes a parameter set of the page address and a page address style, wherein the parameter set includes path parameters, normal parameters and fixed parameters.

[0010] Optionally, in the page address determination method for page comparison testing according to the present invention, the step of adjusting the page address of the first page according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page includes: adjusting the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the first page according to the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the second page, using the page address style of the second page as a template; and using the adjusted page address of the first page as the test address for the first page.

[0011] Optionally, the page address determination method in the page comparison test according to the present invention further includes pre-generating page address templates for each page to be compared, wherein the version of the page to be compared is a basic version or a reference version.

[0012] Optionally, in the page address determination method for page comparison testing according to the present invention, the step of pre-generating a page address template for each page to be compared includes: for each page to be compared, verifying whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid; if the page address of the page to be compared is valid, extracting path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters from the page address of the page to be compared, and combining them to form a parameter set for the page address of the page to be compared; determining the page address style of the page to be compared, and generating a page address template for the page to be compared by combining it with the parameter set for the page address of the page to be compared.

[0013] Optionally, in the page address determination method of the page comparison test according to the present invention, the step of verifying whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid includes: verifying the protocol header, domain name and path parameters of the page address of the page to be compared to determine whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid; if the protocol header, domain name and path parameters of the page address of the page to be compared are all verified, then the page address of the page to be compared is determined to be valid; otherwise, the page address of the page to be compared is determined to be invalid.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a page address determination apparatus for page comparison testing is provided, comprising an acquisition module, a selection module, a judgment module, and a generation module. The acquisition module is adapted to take the current page to be compared in the page comparison test as a first page and acquire the page address of the first page; the selection module is adapted to select a page to be compared as a second page from a set of pages associated with the first page, the page set including multiple pages to be compared; the judgment module is adapted to determine whether the first page and the second page are consistent; and the generation module is adapted to adjust the page address of the first page according to the page address template of the second page when the first page and the second page are inconsistent, so as to generate a test address for the first page.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computing device is provided, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to be executed by the at least one processor, the program instructions including instructions for performing the page address determination method in the page comparison test as described above.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a readable storage medium storing program instructions is provided, which, when read and executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform the page address determination method in the page comparison test as described above.

[0017] According to the page address determination scheme in the page comparison test of the present invention, the current page to be compared is firstly taken as the first page, and then a page to be compared is selected from the set of pages associated with the first page as the second page. If the first page and the second page are inconsistent, the page address of the first page is adjusted according to the page address template of the second page to generate the test address of the first page. This reduces the requirements for the page address of the page to be compared and is not limited to a single scenario. It can be applied to diverse scenarios such as when the page addresses of different pages to be compared have large differences.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the page address template typically needs to be pre-generated, including a parameter set and a page address style. The parameter set includes path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters. By parsing the page address of the first page, the corresponding parameter set can be extracted. Then, when generating the test address for the first page, based on the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the second page's page address, and using the page address style of the second page as a template, the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the first page's page address are adjusted accordingly to obtain the appropriate test address. This solves the problem of not supporting path parameters and reduces the development and testing workload of determining the page address suitable for page comparison testing.

[0022] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a page address determination device 300 in a page comparison test according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0024] Figure 1 A structural block diagram of a computing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in the basic configuration 102, the computing device 100 typically includes system memory 106 and one or more processors 104. Memory bus 108 can be used for communication between processor 104 and system memory 106.

[0026] Depending on the desired configuration, processor 104 can be any type of processor, including but not limited to: microprocessor (UP), microcontroller (UC), digital information processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. Processor 104 may include one or more levels of cache such as L1 cache 110 and L2 cache 112, processor core 114, and registers 116. Example processor core 114 may include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), floating-point unit (FPU), digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. Example memory controller 118 may be used with processor 104, or in some implementations, memory controller 118 may be an internal part of processor 104.

[0027] Depending on the desired configuration, system memory 106 can be any type of memory, including but not limited to volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. System memory 106 may include operating system 120, one or more applications 122, and program data 124. In some embodiments, application 122 may be arranged to execute instructions on the operating system using program data 124 by one or more processors 104.

[0028] The computing device 100 also includes a storage device 132, which includes a removable storage device 136 and a non-removable storage device 138.

[0029] The computing device 100 may also include a storage interface bus 134. The storage interface bus 134 enables communication from storage devices 132 (e.g., removable storage 136 and non-removable storage 138) to the basic configuration 102 via a bus / interface controller 130. At least a portion of the operating system 120, application 122, and program data 124 may be stored on the removable storage 136 and / or the non-removable storage 138, and loaded into system memory 106 via the storage interface bus 134 when the computing device 100 is powered on or when application 122 is to be executed, and executed by one or more processors 104.

[0030] The computing device 100 may also include an interface bus 140 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 142, peripheral interfaces 144, and communication devices 146) to the basic configuration 102 via a bus / interface controller 130. Example output devices 142 include a graphics processing unit 148 and an audio processing unit 150. They may be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as displays or speakers via one or more A / V ports 152. Example peripheral interfaces 144 may include a serial interface controller 154 and a parallel interface controller 156, which may be configured to facilitate communication with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboards, mice, pens, voice input devices, touch input devices) or other peripherals (e.g., printers, scanners, etc.) via one or more I / O ports 158. Example communication devices 146 may include a network controller 160, which may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 162 via a network communication link through one or more communication ports 164.

[0031] A network communication link can be an example of a communication medium. A communication medium can typically be embodied in a modulated data signal, such as a carrier wave or other transmission mechanism, and can include any information delivery medium. A “modulated data signal” can be a signal whose data set, or its modifications, can be encoded as information within the signal. As a non-limiting example, a communication medium can include wired media such as wired networks or leased lines, and various wireless media including sound, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR), or other wireless media. The term “computer-readable medium” as used herein can include both storage media and communication media.

[0032] The computing device 100 can be implemented as a personal computer, including desktop and laptop computer configurations. Of course, the computing device 100 can also be implemented as part of a small-sized portable (or mobile) electronic device, such as a cellular phone, digital camera, personal digital assistant (PDA), personal media player device, wireless network browsing device, personal head-mounted device, application-specific device, or a hybrid device that may include any of the above functions. It can even be implemented as a server, such as a file server, database server, application server, and web server. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, computing device 100 is configured to execute a page address determination method 200 in a page comparison test according to the present invention. An application 122 arranged on an operating system includes a plurality of program instructions for executing the method 200 of the present invention. These program instructions can instruct processor 104 to execute the method 200 of the present invention so that computing device 100 determines the page address in a page comparison test by executing the method 200 of the present invention.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, application 122 arranged on an operating system includes a page address determination device 300 for page comparison testing. The device 300 includes multiple program instructions for executing the page address determination method 200 for page comparison testing of the present invention, so that the method 200 of the present invention can be executed in the device 300.

[0035] Figure 2 A flowchart of a page address determination method 200 in a page comparison test according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Method 200 can be executed in a page address determination apparatus 300 in a computing device (e.g., the aforementioned computing device 100). It should be noted that the page address here generally refers to a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address; unless otherwise specified, page address refers to a URL address.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, method 200 begins with step S210. In step S210, the current page to be compared in the page comparison test is taken as the first page, and the page address of the first page is obtained.

[0037] Before performing page comparison tests, it is usually necessary to preprocess each page to be compared to obtain a corresponding page address template. This facilitates subsequent adjustment of the page addresses of the pages currently participating in the page comparison test, thereby obtaining the test addresses. Based on this, according to an embodiment of the present invention, method 200 further includes pre-generating page address templates for each page to be compared. The version of the page to be compared is a basic version or a reference version.

[0038] Regarding the comparison pages and their versions, a brief example is provided below for easier understanding. Suppose an e-commerce website is launching a product promotion and has designed three promotional pages: page P1, page P2, and page P3. A comparison test of these three pages is needed to determine which page will be ultimately selected for deployment. These three pages are the comparison pages; one version will be the base version, and the remaining two versions will be the reference versions.

[0039] In other words, among the three pages to be compared, there is one basic version, such as page P1, which can be considered the basic version page, and two reference versions, such as pages P2 and P3, which can be considered the reference versions pages. It should be noted that there is one and only one basic version page, while there is no limit to the number of reference versions pages; there can be only one or multiple. The basic version page and the reference version pages have essentially the same functionality; the differences are mostly in page layout, icon style, color, font, etc. Users visiting pages will have a certain preference for pages with different styles. Therefore, the goal is to select the page to be compared that is more popular with users and can bring more revenue to the event provider—this is the significance of page comparison testing.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, page address templates for each page to be compared can be pre-generated in the following manner. In this embodiment, the validity of the page address of each page to be compared is first verified. Specifically, the protocol header, domain name, and path parameters of the page address to be compared are verified to determine whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid. If the protocol header, domain name, and path parameters of the page address to be compared all pass the verification, the page address of the page to be compared is determined to be valid; otherwise, the page address of the page to be compared is determined to be invalid.

[0041] For example, the page address is http: / / www.xyzqcjz.com.cn / page1 / ?param1=1 ?param2=2#target0, where "http: / / " is the protocol header, "www.xyzqcjz.com.cn" is the domain name, " / page1" is the path parameter, "?param1=1 ?param2=2" are normal parameters, and "#target0" is the fixed parameter. The fixed parameter here uses the anchor parameter in the URL address, which starts with the symbol "#". Anchor parameters can be used to record the source of the page; that is, when there may be two or more different entry pages for the same page, different anchor parameters are used to identify them.

[0042] For a valid page URL, the protocol header, domain name, and path parameters are necessary components, but they are not required to include normal parameters and fixed parameters. Therefore, when the protocol header, domain name, and path parameters of the page URL to be compared all pass verification, the page URL to be compared can be determined to be valid. If the page URL to be compared is valid, then the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters are extracted from the page URL to form the parameter set of the page URL to be compared. Extraction can be performed using regular expressions. In actual implementation, verification and extraction can be completed in one step; that is, once verification is successful, the desired content can be extracted.

[0043] Assume the address of the basic page P1 is http: / / order / P1?brandId=1, the address of the reference page P2 is http: / / order / P2?brandId=1, and the address of the reference page P3 is http: / / order / P3?brandId=1. Taking the basic page P1 as an example, the protocol header "http: / / ", the domain name "order", and the path parameter " / P1" of its address "http: / / order / P1?brandId=1" are validated to determine whether the address of the basic page P1 is valid. If valid, the path parameter, normal parameter, and fixed parameter are extracted and represented by the symbols "$", "?", and "#" respectively. For the path parameter, it can be further represented by the symbols "$1", "$2", etc. in sequence. Since the page address "http: / / order / P1?brandId=1" does not contain a fixed parameter, only the path parameter " / P1" and the normal parameter "?brandId=1" are extracted and combined to form the corresponding parameter set.

[0044] After obtaining the parameter set of the page address to be compared, the page address style of the page to be compared is determined, and a page address template for the page to be compared is generated by combining the parameter set of the page address to be compared. At this point, it can be confirmed that the page address template includes the parameter set of the page address and the page address style. The parameter set includes path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters.

[0045] Page address templates can be stored in a database for easy use and retrieval later. Path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters in the parameter set can be stored using a Map data structure (a collection of key-value pairs), where the parameter name is a keyword and the parameter value is the value corresponding to the keyword. Since a page address may not necessarily include normal or fixed parameters, these parameters in the parameter set can also be omitted.

[0046] Subsequently, proceeding to step S220, a page to be compared is selected from the set of pages associated with the first page as the second page. The page set includes multiple pages to be compared. All the multiple pages to be compared included in the set of pages associated with the first page will now participate in the page comparison test. Currently, the first page and the second page have been determined to be used for the page comparison test.

[0047] Considering that the second page selected in step S220 has a certain probability of being the first page determined in step S210, in order to avoid the first page and the second page being the same and thus making the page comparison test meaningless, in step S230, it is determined whether the first page and the second page are consistent.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, whether a first page and a second page are identical can be determined in the following manner. In this embodiment, the page address of the first page is first parsed to extract the corresponding parameter set. For example, regular expressions can be used to identify path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters from the page address of the first page, and then these parameters are combined to form the parameter set of the page address of the first page.

[0049] Then, the extracted parameter set is compared with the page address template of the second page, and the comparison result determines whether the first page and the second page are consistent. Specifically, the path parameters and normal parameters in the parameter set of the page address of the first page are compared with the path parameters and normal parameters in the parameter set included in the page address template of the second page. If they are completely identical, the first page and the second page are considered consistent; otherwise, the first page and the second page are considered inconsistent.

[0050] Finally, step S240 is executed. If the first page and the second page are inconsistent, the page address of the first page is adjusted according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the page address of the first page can be adjusted based on the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page. In this embodiment, based on the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the second page, and using the page address style of the second page as a template, the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the first page are adjusted accordingly, and the adjusted page address of the first page is used as the test address of the first page.

[0052] In actual adjustments, the values ​​of the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the first page are replaced with the corresponding positions in the page address style of the second page. The path parameters are identified according to their order of appearance, the normal parameters are directly concatenated with the symbols "?" and "$" (the concatenation order does not affect the result), and the fixed parameters are directly appended to the end of the page address.

[0053] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a page address determination apparatus 300 in a page comparison test according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The apparatus 300 resides in a computing device (e.g., the aforementioned computing device 100) and determines the page address in a page comparison test by executing the method 200 of the present invention.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, the page address determination device 300 in the page comparison test includes an acquisition module 310, a selection module 320, a judgment module 330 and a generation module 340 connected in sequence. The acquisition module 310 is also connected to the judgment module 330 and the generation module 340 respectively.

[0055] The acquisition module 310 can use the current page to be compared in the page comparison test as the first page and obtain the page address of the first page. Then, the selection module 320 can select a page to be compared from the set of pages associated with the first page as the second page; the page set includes multiple pages to be compared. The judgment module 330 can determine whether the first page and the second page are consistent. When the first page and the second page are inconsistent, the generation module 340 can adjust the page address of the first page according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page.

[0056] It should be noted that the acquisition module 310 is used to execute the aforementioned step S210, the selection module 320 is used to execute the aforementioned step S220, the judgment module 330 is used to execute the aforementioned step S230, and the generation module 340 is used to execute the aforementioned step S240. Here, the execution logic of the acquisition module 310, the selection module 320, the judgment module 330, and the generation module 340 can be found in the detailed description of steps S210 to S240 in method 200 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] According to the page address determination scheme in the page comparison test of the present invention, the current page to be compared is firstly taken as the first page, and then a page to be compared is selected from the set of pages associated with the first page as the second page. If the first page and the second page are inconsistent, the page address of the first page is adjusted according to the page address template of the second page to generate the test address of the first page. This reduces the requirements for the page address of the page to be compared and is not limited to a single scenario. It can be applied to diverse scenarios such as when the page addresses of different pages to be compared have significant differences.

[0058] In the above technical solution, the page address template typically needs to be pre-generated, including a parameter set and a page address style. The parameter set includes path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters, and different types of parameters can be categorized, saved, and processed. The parameter set can be obtained by parsing and extracting the page address, such as using regular expressions to match and identify various parameters. Furthermore, when generating the test address for the first page, based on the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the second page's page address, and using the page address style of the second page as a template, the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the first page's page address are adjusted accordingly to obtain the corresponding test address. This solves the problem of not supporting path parameters and reduces the development and testing workload of the function of determining the page address suitable for page comparison testing.

Thus, the methods and apparatus of the present invention, or certain aspects or portions thereof, can take the form of program code (i.e., instructions) embedded in a tangible medium, such as a removable hard disk, USB flash drive, floppy disk, CD-ROM, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein when the program is loaded into and executed by a machine such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the present invention.

Claims

1. A method for determining page addresses in page comparison testing, comprising: In the page comparison test, the current page to be compared is taken as the first page, and the page address of the first page is obtained; Select a page to be compared from the set of pages associated with the first page as the second page, wherein the set of pages includes multiple pages to be compared; Determining whether the first page and the second page are consistent includes: parsing the page address of the first page to extract the corresponding parameter set; comparing the path parameters and normal parameters in the parameter set of the page address of the first page with the path parameters and normal parameters in the parameter set included in the page address template of the second page; if the two are completely identical, then the first page and the second page are consistent; otherwise, the first page and the second page are inconsistent. If the first page and the second page are inconsistent, the page address of the first page is adjusted according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page, including replacing the values ​​of the path parameters, normal parameters and fixed parameters of the page address of the first page with the corresponding positions of the page address style of the second page.

2. The method as described in claim 1, wherein, The page address template includes a set of page address parameters and a page address style. The set of parameters includes path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters.

3. The method as described in claim 2, wherein, The step of adjusting the page address of the first page according to the page address template of the second page to generate a test address for the first page includes: Based on the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the second page, and using the page address style of the second page as a template, the path parameters, normal parameters, and fixed parameters of the page address of the first page are adjusted accordingly. Use the adjusted URL of the first page as the test URL for the first page.

4. The method according to any one of claims 1-3 further includes pre-generating page address templates for each page to be compared, wherein the version of the page to be compared is a basic version or a reference version.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein, The step of pre-generating page address templates for each page to be compared includes: For each page to be compared, verify whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid; If the page address of the page to be compared is valid, then path parameters, normal parameters and fixed parameters are extracted from the page address of the page to be compared, and these are combined to form the parameter set of the page address of the page to be compared. The page address style of the page to be compared is determined, and a page address template of the page to be compared is generated by combining the parameter set of the page address of the page to be compared.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein, The step of verifying whether the page address of the page to be compared is valid includes: The protocol header, domain name, and path parameters of the page address to be compared are verified to determine whether the page address to be compared is valid. If the protocol header, domain name, and path parameters of the page address to be compared are all verified, then the page address to be compared is determined to be valid; otherwise, the page address to be compared is determined to be invalid.
