Video recording test method, device, equipment and storage medium

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a recorded video testing method, device, equipment and storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a recorded video to be tested; identifying an interaction start time and an interaction end time corresponding to each interaction video segment in the recorded video to be tested; testing each interaction video segment from the interaction start time to the interaction end time to obtain a test result of the recorded video to be tested. Thus, before playing the recorded video, each interaction video segment can be automatically tested based on the interaction start time to the interaction end time of each interaction video segment, so that when the recorded video to be tested is played subsequently, each interaction link of the recorded video to be tested can completely restore the live effect. The above test process does not require a tester to intervene in each interaction link for testing, nor does the tester need to focus on the entire test process at all times, thereby reducing the labor cost and time cost consumed by the test process of the recorded video.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of video testing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for recording video tests. Background Technology

[0002] Recorded videos are the video presentation of the entire live broadcast process, and parameters such as playback speed and progress cannot be adjusted when playing recorded videos.

[0003] When playing recorded videos later, to ensure that the interactive elements in the recorded video replicate the live broadcast effect, the interactive elements in the recorded video need to be tested before playback. Related technologies typically use manual testing methods to test each interactive element in the recorded video. However, manual testing requires testers to test every single interactive element in the recorded video, keeping them focused on the entire testing process. Therefore, the testing process for recorded videos consumes significant manpower and time resources and needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for recording video tests.

[0005] Firstly, this disclosure provides a method for recording video for testing, the method comprising:

[0006] Obtain the recorded video to be tested;

[0007] Identify the start and end times of each interactive video segment in the recorded video to be tested;

[0008] From the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, each interactive video segment is tested to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0009] Secondly, this disclosure provides a video recording test apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

[0010] The acquisition module is used to acquire the recorded video to be tested.

[0011] The identification module is used to identify the start and end times of each interactive video segment in the video to be tested.

[0012] The testing module is used to test each interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, and obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device, the device comprising:

[0014] processor;

[0015] Memory, used to store executable instructions;

[0016] The processor is used to read executable instructions from memory and execute the executable instructions to implement the method provided in the first aspect above.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the storage medium stores the computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor causes the processor to implement the method provided in the first aspect above.

[0018] The technical solution provided in this disclosure has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] This disclosure discloses a video recording testing method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The method involves acquiring a recorded video to be tested; identifying the start and end times of interactions for each interactive video segment within the recorded video; and testing each interactive video segment from the start to the end time to obtain the test results for the recorded video. Therefore, before playing the recorded video, each interactive video segment can be automatically tested based on its start and end times. This ensures that when the recorded video is played back, each interactive element perfectly replicates the live broadcast effect. The testing process does not require personnel to intervene in each interactive element or constantly monitor the entire process, thus reducing the manpower and time costs associated with testing recorded videos.

[0030] To solve the above problems, the following will combine... Figures 1 to 3 The video recording test method provided in this disclosure is described below. In this disclosure, the video recording test method can be executed by an electronic device or a server. Both the electronic device and the server are video recording test devices in this disclosure. The electronic device may include devices with communication functions such as mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, and laptops. The server may be a cloud server or a server cluster, or other devices with storage and computing functions. It should be noted that the following embodiments use an electronic device as the execution subject for illustrative explanation.

[0031] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a video recording test method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the video recording test method may include the following steps.

[0033] S110. Obtain the recorded video to be tested.

[0034] In this embodiment, in scenarios such as teaching classes and online shopping, teachers, livestreamers, and other users will play pre-recorded videos, allowing users to learn knowledge points or shop online by watching the recorded videos. To ensure that the interactive elements in the recorded videos completely replicate the livestream experience, the interactive elements in the recorded videos need to be tested before playback.

[0035] The video to be tested refers to a pre-recorded live video, and the playback parameters such as speed and progress in the video to be tested cannot be adjusted.

[0036] In one example, in a real classroom setting, the teacher can play pre-recorded teaching videos that include explanations of key concepts and interactive quiz segments, allowing students to learn by watching the videos. These videos contain two interactive segments: the explanation of key concepts and the quiz. To ensure that the explanations and quiz segments in the pre-recorded videos perfectly replicate the live streaming experience, these segments need to be tested before being played. After the pre-recorded videos pass the test, the teacher can then play them in class, allowing students to experience a live teaching process through watching the pre-recorded videos.

[0037] In another example, in a live-streaming sales scenario, the live-streaming host can play pre-recorded live-streaming sales videos that include product explanations, allowing viewers to shop online by watching the pre-recorded videos. These pre-recorded videos include an interactive product explanation segment. To ensure that the product explanation process in the pre-recorded videos perfectly replicates the live-streaming experience, the product explanation process needs to be tested before playing the pre-recorded videos. After the pre-recorded videos pass the test, the live-streaming host can then play them on the shopping platform, allowing viewers to experience the live-streaming sales process by watching the pre-recorded videos.

[0038] S120. Identify the start and end times of each interactive video segment in the recorded video to be tested.

[0039] Interactive video clips refer to the video frame sequences corresponding to interactive segments.

[0040] In some embodiments, S120 may specifically include the following steps:

[0041] Obtain the preset video tags corresponding to the video to be recorded for testing;

[0042] Read the time point tag content of each interactive video segment from the preset video tags, and determine the start time and end time of each interactive video segment.

[0043] The preset video tags are used to identify the video attributes of the video to be recorded for testing. Optionally, the preset video tags may include video type tags, start and end time tags of interactive video clips, interaction type tags of interactive video clips (e.g., quiz type, knowledge point explanation type, red envelope type), and name tags of interactive video clips (e.g., multiple choice question, trigonometric function, sending red envelopes), etc.

[0044] Specifically, the start and end time tags of each interactive video segment are selected from the preset video tags, and the text recognition technology is used to read the time tag content contained in the start and end time tags to obtain the interaction start time and interaction end time of each interactive video segment.

[0045] In other embodiments, S120 may specifically include the following steps:

[0046] Iterate through the video frames corresponding to each timestamp in the recorded video to be tested;

[0047] Identify the video content contained in the video frames corresponding to each timestamp, determine each interactive video segment, and obtain the start and end times of the interaction for each interactive video segment.

[0048] Specifically, video content recognition technology can be used to identify the video content contained in the video frames corresponding to each timestamp. If the video content belongs to the interactive type, the video segment corresponding to the interactive type is extracted as the interactive video segment, and the interactive start time and interactive end time of each interactive video segment are determined based on the timestamp.

[0049] Therefore, based on preset video tags, or based on the video content contained in the video frames corresponding to each timestamp, the start and end times of each interactive video segment can be determined.

[0050] S130. Test each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0051] In this embodiment, a pre-configured automated testing framework can be used to simulate the interactive nodes of each interactive video segment, and to test each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction. If all interactive segments pass the test, the video to be tested is determined to have passed the test. If one interactive video segment fails the test, the video to be tested is determined to have failed the test.

[0052] In some embodiments, a thread can be started to call a pre-configured automated testing framework to simulate the interactive nodes of each interactive video segment, so as to test each interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, so that the recording process of the video to be tested is always executed by a single thread.

[0053] In other embodiments, at the start time of each interactive video segment, an idle thread is invoked to call a pre-configured automated testing framework, and the interactive nodes of each interactive video segment are simulated based on the automated testing framework. This enables testing of each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction, ensuring that the recording process of the video to be tested is always executed by the same idle thread or different threads.

[0054] This disclosure provides a method for testing recorded videos, which involves acquiring a recorded video to be tested; identifying the start and end times of interactions for each interactive video segment in the recorded video; and testing each interactive video segment from the start to the end time to obtain the test results for the recorded video. Therefore, before playing the recorded video, each interactive video segment can be automatically tested based on its start and end times. This ensures that when the recorded video is played back, each interactive element can perfectly replicate the live broadcast effect. The testing process does not require personnel to intervene in each interactive element or constantly monitor the entire process, thus reducing the manpower and time costs associated with testing recorded videos.

[0055] In one embodiment of this disclosure, after obtaining the test result of the recorded video to be tested, the method further includes:

[0056] Based on the timestamps corresponding to each interactive video segment, the test data for each interactive video segment included in the test results is displayed on the user interface; or,

[0057] Based on the timestamps corresponding to each interactive video segment, the test data for each interactive video segment included in the test results are converted into images and displayed on the user interface; or,

[0058] Based on the timestamps corresponding to each interactive video segment, the test data of each interactive video segment included in the test results is displayed on the user interface, and the test data of each interactive video segment included in the test results is converted into images and displayed on the user interface.

[0059] In this embodiment, the test data of each interactive video segment can be nested on multiple pages of the user interface, allowing users to view the test results on different pages by flipping through pages, or to display them on a single page.

[0060] For example, the video to be recorded is an instructional video, and the interactive video clips include a red envelope distribution clip, a voting clip, and a quiz clip. The test data for the red envelope distribution clip includes: verifying the existence of the red envelope; the test data for the voting clip includes: the game voting question loading successfully, verifying the existence of voting option A, verifying the existence of voting option B, verifying the selected option, and verifying the removal of the voting option; the test data for the quiz clip includes: the interactive question loading successfully, the assertion answerer loading successfully, asserting the correct answer displayed correctly, the assertioner loading successfully, asserting the student's answer displayed correctly, and asserting the quiz answerer collapsing successfully. Furthermore, the test data corresponding to the red envelope distribution clip, voting clip, and quiz clip in the instructional video are displayed on the user interface in text form, or converted into images before being displayed on the user interface, or displayed on the user interface in both text and image form simultaneously.

[0061] Therefore, after the video to be tested has been tested, the test data of each interactive video segment can be displayed on the user interface in the form of text, images, or a combination of text and images. Testers only need to view the test data through the user interface to determine whether the video to be tested has passed the test, without having to pay attention to the entire testing process of the video to be tested, thereby reducing the manpower and time costs consumed in the testing process.

[0062] In another embodiment of this disclosure, a pre-configured automated testing framework can be invoked to generate automated test scripts and compile the automated test scripts, generate test commands, and then test each interactive video segment based on the test commands.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the phrase "testing each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested" in the above embodiments includes:

[0064] Invoke the pre-configured automated testing framework and obtain the pre-edited automated test scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment;

[0065] Using an automated testing framework, the automated test scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment are compiled into test instructions for each interactive video segment;

[0066] From the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, each interactive video segment is tested based on the test instructions of each interactive video segment to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0067] In this embodiment, the electronic device is pre-installed with an automated testing framework, and the automated test scripts pre-edited by the testers are further compiled using the automated testing framework to perform tests.

[0068] The automated test script is a test script edited based on each interactive video segment in the recorded video to be tested. Optionally, the automated test script includes the video name, each interactive video segment, the interaction logic of each interactive node in each interactive video segment, and the interaction result corresponding to each interaction logic.

[0069] In some embodiments, "using an automated testing framework, compiling the automated test scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment into test instructions for each interactive video segment" specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Based on the automated testing framework, the interactive logic of each interactive node contained in each interactive video segment is read from the automated testing script;

[0071] The interactive logic of each interactive node contained in each interactive video segment is encapsulated into test instructions for each interactive video segment.

[0072] Understandably, automated test scripts are pre-edited by testers. Since these scripts are not part of the electronic device's system language, they cannot be directly read and executed by the device. Therefore, an automated testing framework is needed to compile these scripts, transforming them into test instructions that the electronic device can directly read and execute. Specifically, the automated testing framework reads the interaction logic of each interactive node within each interactive video segment from the automated test script, and encapsulates this logic into test instructions for each interactive video segment.

[0073] Interaction logic refers to the interaction method and execution order of each interaction node.

[0074] Among them, test instructions refer to system language instructions that carry interactive logic.

[0075] In one example, if the interactive video clip is a red envelope distribution clip, then the red envelope distribution clip includes interactive nodes such as red envelope distribution, red envelope clicking, and display of the amount after receiving the red envelope. The interactive logic includes red envelope distribution logic, red envelope clicking logic, and display of the amount after receiving the red envelope logic.

[0076] In another example, if the interactive video clip includes a multiple-choice question answering segment, then the multiple-choice question answering segment includes interactive nodes such as the answerer detection node, the answerer activation node, the question submission node, and the question answering result. The interactive logic includes answerer detection logic, answerer activation detection logic, question submission detection logic, and question answering result verification logic.

[0077] In another example, if the interactive video clip includes a voting clip, then the voting clip includes interactive nodes such as option appearance nodes and voting result display nodes. The interactive logic includes option appearance verification logic, voting result display logic, etc.

[0078] Therefore, manually edited automated test scripts can be compiled into test instructions that the device can read based on the automated testing framework, making it convenient for the device to perform tests based on the test instructions.

[0079] In some embodiments, "testing each interactive video segment based on the test instructions for each interactive video segment to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested" includes:

[0080] Based on the test instructions for each interactive video segment, simulate the interaction process of each interactive node in each interactive video segment to obtain the simulation results of each interactive segment;

[0081] Determine whether the simulation result of each interactive node is the same as the actual result of each interactive node in the interactive video segment in which it is located;

[0082] If they are the same, the video to be recorded is determined to have passed the test; otherwise, the video to be recorded is determined to have failed the test.

[0083] The actual result of each interactive node refers to the real interactive result during the live broadcast corresponding to the video to be tested.

[0084] Understandably, since the automated test scripts are edited by testers based on the interactive video segments in the video to be tested, the simulated results of each interactive step after executing the test instructions corresponding to each interactive video segment can realistically reflect the interactive process of each interactive video segment in the video to be tested. If the simulated result of each interactive node is the same as the actual result of each interactive node in the interactive video segment, then it is determined that each interactive video segment in the video to be tested is consistent with the actual interactive result during the live broadcast, and the video to be tested passes the test. If the simulated result of at least one interactive node is different from the actual result of the interactive node in the interactive video segment, then it is determined that each interactive video segment in the video to be tested is not completely consistent with the actual interactive result during the live broadcast, and the video to be tested fails the test.

[0085] Therefore, by executing test instructions that the device can read, each interactive node in each interactive video segment is simulated, and then by comparing the simulated results of each interactive node in the interactive video segment with the actual results of each interactive node, it is determined whether the recorded video under test passes the test. This process is executed automatically and can obtain reliable test results.

[0086] In summary, by using an automated testing framework, the automated test scripts obtained from editing each interactive video segment are encapsulated into test instructions that the system can directly read. Then, the interactive video segments are tested automatically according to the test instructions, which ensures the reliability of the testing process and reduces labor and time costs.

[0087] In another embodiment of this disclosure, during the entire testing process of the video to be tested, a single thread can always be used for testing, or an idle thread can be found at the start time of each interactive video segment to execute the test task of that interactive video segment.

[0088] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a single thread can be used for testing throughout the entire testing process of the recorded video to be tested. Therefore, the above embodiment's "testing each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested" includes:

[0089] Start the first target thread to execute the test task, and test each interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0090] The first target thread refers to any thread in the electronic device used to execute test tasks for each interactive video segment in the recorded video to be tested.

[0091] To reduce thread resource consumption during testing, the first target thread is kept idle when the current playback time of the video to be tested is not within the interaction start-to-end time of any interactive video segment. Correspondingly, in the process of "starting the first target thread for executing the test task, testing each interactive video segment from its interaction start-to-end time, and obtaining the test results of the video to be tested," the method further includes:

[0092] For any two adjacent interactive video segments, if the current playback time of the video to be tested is after the interaction end time corresponding to the current interactive video segment and before the interaction start time of the next interactive video segment, control the first target thread to switch from the test state to the idle state and calculate the waiting time for release idle time and the waiting time for end idle time.

[0093] The waiting time for release is the first interval from the current playback time to the testing of the next interactive video segment, and the waiting time for end of the idle period is the second interval from the current playback time to the completion of the testing of the next interactive video segment. The waiting time for release and the waiting time for end of the idle period are used to monitor the time for testing the next interactive video segment.

[0094] The current playback time refers to the timestamp of the currently playing video being recorded for testing.

[0095] In some embodiments, if the current playback time of the video to be tested is after the interaction end time corresponding to the current interactive video segment and before the interaction start time of the next interactive video segment, the waiting idle time can be calculated based on the start timestamp of the video to be tested, the interaction start time of the next interactive video segment, and the current playback time. This waiting idle time is used as the first interval time from the current playback time to testing the next interactive video segment, that is, determining how long it is necessary to wait from the current playback time before testing the next interactive video segment.

[0096] In other embodiments, if the current playback time of the video to be tested is after the interaction end time of the current interactive video segment and before the interaction start time of the next interactive video segment, the waiting time can be calculated based on the start timestamp of the video to be tested, the interaction end time of the next interactive video segment, and the current playback time. This waiting time is used as the second interval from the current playback time to the completion of the test on the next interactive video segment. In other words, it determines how long it will take to complete the test on the next interactive video segment from the current playback time, and then enters the idle state again.

[0097] Therefore, if a single thread is used for testing throughout the entire testing process of the recorded video, and this thread is not between the start and end times of any interactive video segment, then controlling this thread to switch from the testing state to the idle state helps reduce the consumption of thread resources. Furthermore, calculating the waiting time for publication and the waiting time for completion allows for monitoring the testing time of the next interactive video segment based on these waiting times, enabling timely switching of the first target thread's state.

[0098] In other embodiments of this disclosure, during the entire testing process of the recorded video to be tested, an idle thread is found at the start time of the interaction of each interactive video segment to execute the test task of that interactive video segment. Therefore, in the above embodiments, "testing each interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the interaction to obtain the test result of the recorded video to be tested" includes:

[0099] If the video to be recorded for testing includes at least two interactive video segments, starting with the first interactive video segment in the video to be recorded for testing, for the current interactive video segment, if the current playback time of the video to be recorded for testing is the start time of the interaction of the current interactive video segment, the second target thread that is in an idle state is selected from multiple pre-set threads;

[0100] Start a second target thread to test the current interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction;

[0101] The next interactive video segment is determined based on the timestamp of each interactive video segment. The above process is repeated until all interactive video segments in the video to be tested have been tested, and the test results of the video to be tested are obtained.

[0102] In this embodiment, multiple threads can be pre-configured, with different threads executing application startup tasks, application running tasks, and test tasks for the recorded video to be tested. For any given thread, if it is not executing any task, it is idle. Thus, starting with the first interactive video segment, for any current interactive video segment, a polling method can be used. If the current playback time of the recorded video to be tested is the start time of the current interactive video segment, an idle thread is selected from the pre-configured multiple threads as the second target thread. Then, the second target thread is started and used to test any current interactive video segment, starting from the first interactive segment. Further, after the current interactive video segment test is completed, the recorded video to be tested is played according to the timestamps of each interactive video segment. If the current playback time is the start time of the next interactive video segment, the idle second target thread is selected from the pre-configured multiple threads again, and the second thread is used to test the next interactive video segment. This process is repeated until all interactive video segments in the recorded video to be tested have been tested.

[0103] To ensure the orderly execution of different tasks within the device, or to improve the utilization of thread resources within the device, after executing "start a second target thread and test the current interactive video segment from the start time to the end time of the current interactive video segment," the method further includes:

[0104] If the current playback time is after the end time of the interaction corresponding to the current interactive video segment and before the start time of the interaction of the next interactive video segment, control the second target thread to execute a non-test task.

[0105] Non-test tasks can include tasks such as application startup tasks and application running tasks.

[0106] Therefore, at the start time of each interactive video segment, an idle thread is found to execute the test task of any interactive video segment. After the test task of any interactive video segment is completed, the second target thread is controlled to execute other non-test tasks, ensuring that different tasks in the device are executed in an orderly manner and improving the utilization rate of thread resources.

[0107] It should be noted that regardless of whether a single thread is used for testing throughout, or an idle thread is found at the start time of each interactive video segment to execute the test task for that segment, a pre-configured automated testing framework can be invoked. This framework retrieves pre-edited automated test scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment and compiles these scripts into test instructions for each segment. From the start time to the end time of the interaction, each interactive video segment is tested based on these instructions to obtain the test results for the recorded video. The process of generating test instructions and testing each interactive video segment based on these instructions can be found in the description of the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0108] This disclosure also provides a video recording test apparatus for implementing the above-described video recording test method, which is described below in conjunction with... Figure 2 The following explanation is provided. In this embodiment, the video recording test device can be an electronic device or a server. Both electronic devices and servers are video recording test devices in this embodiment. The electronic device can include devices with communication functions such as mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, and laptops. The server can be a cloud server or server cluster, or other devices with storage and computing functions.

[0109] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a video recording test apparatus provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown.

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, the video recording test device 200 may include:

[0111] Module 210 is used to acquire the recorded video to be tested;

[0112] The identification module 220 is used to identify the interaction start time and interaction end time corresponding to each interactive video segment in the video to be tested.

[0113] The testing module 230 is used to test each interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, and obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0114] This disclosure provides a video recording testing apparatus that acquires a video to be tested; identifies the start and end times of interactions for each interactive video segment within the video; and tests each interactive video segment from the start to the end time to obtain the test results for the video. Therefore, before playing the recorded video, each interactive video segment can be automatically tested based on its start and end times. This ensures that when the recorded video is played back, each interactive element perfectly replicates the live broadcast effect. The testing process does not require personnel to intervene in each interactive element or constantly monitor the entire process, thus reducing the manpower and time costs associated with testing recorded videos.

[0115] In some optional embodiments, the identification module 220 is specifically used for:

[0116] Obtain the preset video tags corresponding to the video to be tested and recorded;

[0117] Read the time point tag content of each interactive video segment from the preset video tags, and determine the interaction start time and interaction end time of each interactive video segment.

[0118] In some optional embodiments, the test module 230 includes:

[0119] The calling unit is used to call the pre-configured automated testing framework and obtain the pre-edited automated testing scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment;

[0120] The compilation unit is used to compile the automated test scripts corresponding to each interactive video segment into test instructions for each interactive video segment using the automated test framework.

[0121] The first testing unit is used to test each interactive video segment based on the test instructions of each interactive video segment from the start time of the interaction to the end time of the interaction, and to obtain the test results of the recorded video to be tested.

[0122] In some optional embodiments, the compilation unit is specifically used for:

[0123] Based on the automated testing framework, the interactive logic of each interactive node contained in each interactive video segment is read from the automated testing script;

[0124] The interactive logic of each interactive node contained in each interactive video segment is encapsulated into test instructions for each interactive video segment.

[0125] In some optional embodiments, the test unit is specifically used for:

[0126] Based on the test instructions for each interactive video segment, simulate the interaction process of each interactive node in each interactive video segment to obtain the simulation result of each interactive segment;
