[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of the various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. For the purpose of clarity, the description is divided into the following sections: technical scheme, advantages, and specific embodiments. The following detailed description is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can be practiced without some or all of these specific details. The following description of examples is provided as illustrative examples of the present application.

[0024] It should be noted that the relational terms herein, such as first and second, are used solely to distinguish one from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element preceded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, foreclose the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

[0025] To solve the problems in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a network testing method, device, equipment and computer storage medium.

[0026] The network testing method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced first.

[0027] Figure 1 The flowchart of the network testing method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0028] Step 101: obtaining the position of the test terminal;

[0029] In this embodiment, the test terminal is a movable test terminal, which can be a drone, a test trolley, a vehicle-mounted terminal or a mobile phone terminal, etc. The position can be the latitude and longitude of the test terminal, which can be obtained by GPS or Beidou.

[0030] In an embodiment, before determining the position relationship between the position information of the test terminal and at least one test area, the method further comprises:

[0031] receiving a test starting strategy, the test starting strategy comprising geographic coordinates and a deviation distance;

[0032] determine the at least one test area according to the geographic coordinate and the deviation distance.

[0033] In the embodiment, the test starting strategy can be sent by a control system connected with the test terminal. The geographic coordinate can be longitude and latitude, and the deviation distance refers to a distance allowing deviation of the geographic coordinate. In addition, the geographic coordinate can also be a self-defined position coordinate system. The embodiment is not limited here.

[0034] In an embodiment, the determining the at least one test area according to the geographic coordinate and the deviation distance comprises:

[0035] determining the at least one test area as a circular area with the longitude and the latitude as the center and the deviation distance as the radius. Wherein, assuming that the geographic coordinate is O(a, b), then wherein a is the longitude of the position O and b is the latitude of the position O. The position of the test terminal is X(a1, b1), wherein a1 is the longitude of the position X and b1 is the latitude of the position X.

[0036] In addition, the test area can also be a matrix area in addition to the circular area, and the deviation distance corresponding to the rectangular area can include the length and the width of the rectangular area. Or the test area can also be a triangle, a cone or the like, and the deviation distance includes parameters related to the test area. The embodiment is not limited here.

[0037] Step 102, determining the position relationship between the position of the test terminal and the position of the at least one test area;

[0038] The position relationship includes that the position of the test terminal is in the test area and that the position of the test terminal is not in the test area. Since the test terminal is a mobile device, when the test terminal moves to a certain test area, the position relationship between the test terminal and the test area can be obtained. Since the test area is a circular area, when the position of the test terminal is located in the circle, it means that the test terminal has reached at least one test area.

[0039] As an example, the position relationship can be determined by the expression between the position O and the position X. Specifically, the distance between the position X and the geographic coordinate O is D = SQRT

(a1-a)2+(b1-b)2

[0040] Step 103, in the case that the position of the test terminal is located in a first test area of the at least one test area, executing a first network test script corresponding to the first test area to obtain network test information of the first test area.

[0041] In the embodiment, there can be multiple test areas. The first network test script is executed only when the vehicle moves to a first test area in the test areas, so as to implement network testing of the first test area. Different test areas correspond to different network test scripts, and the first network test script is a set of automated instructions for performing network testing. These instructions can be executed by automated testing tools to simulate user network operations and verify the functionality, performance or other quality attributes of the network system. The network test script usually includes test data, test steps, assertions and the like, for automatically performing a series of network test operations.

[0042] In addition, after the test is completed, the terminal automatically uploads the collected network test information to the control system background through the set backhaul path.

[0043] The network testing method provided in the embodiments can obtain first position information of a test terminal and to-be-tested position information, perform network testing in a test area to obtain network test information when it is determined that the test terminal is located in the test area according to the first position information and the to-be-tested position information, and automatically test network information of the test terminal in a specified area with less human intervention and high testing efficiency, thereby reducing testing cost.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, before the position of the test terminal is obtained, the method further includes:

[0045] When the test period is reached, the position of the test terminal is obtained.

[0046] In the embodiment, the test start strategy further includes a test period. The test start strategy can be obtained before the test start strategy is obtained, and the position of the test terminal is obtained when the test period in the test start strategy is reached.

[0047] In the embodiment, the position of the test terminal is obtained periodically, so that the test terminal can determine the relationship between its own position and the test area in time, and prevent the situation of missing the test area from occurring.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, before the first network test script corresponding to the first test area in which the position of the test terminal is located is executed to obtain network test information of the first test area, the method further includes:

[0049] According to historical network test information, the network performance of the test area is obtained, and the historical network test information is obtained by testing the first network test script;

[0050] In the case where the network performance is poor, a second network test script is used instead of the first network test script, and the test accuracy of the second network test script is higher than that of the first network test script.

[0051] In this embodiment, the network performance of each test area may be different, and the network performance of the same test area may change over time. When the network performance of the first test area is determined to be poor network performance according to historical test information, a more accurate network test script needs to be used to perform more accurate testing.

[0052] Specifically, the obtained network performance is checked. If the network performance is rated as “poor”, the first network test script is not directly used for testing, but a second network test script with higher test accuracy is used instead. This is because in the case of poor network performance, more accurate data is needed to accurately evaluate the network status, so as to more effectively locate and solve network problems.

[0053] The first network test script and the second network test script may have obvious differences in test range and depth, test accuracy and granularity, test scene and condition, and test time and resource consumption. According to specific test requirements and network environment, appropriate test scripts can be selected to obtain accurate network performance data. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] In this embodiment, after using the second network test script for testing, more accurate network test information will be obtained, which helps to more comprehensively understand the network status of the test area, so that more accurate decisions or corresponding optimization measures can be made.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, in the case where the position of the test terminal is located in the first test area of the at least one test area, the first network test script corresponding to the first test area is executed, and the network test information of the first test area is obtained, the method further comprises:

[0056] In the case where the network test information indicates that the network performance of the first test area remains in a declining state, the length of the test period is adjusted from a first length to a second length, and the second length is less than the first length.

[0057] In the case where the network test information indicates that the network performance of the first test area remains in a rising state, the length of the test period is adjusted from a first length to a third length, and the third length is greater than the first length.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the test terminal is located in the first test area and has executed the corresponding first network test script, the duration of the test period will be adjusted based on the collected network test information. Specifically:

[0059] Firstly, according to the network test information, the test terminal will judge the network performance state of the first test area. If the network test information indicates that the network performance of this area remains in a declining state, it means that there may be some potential problems or unstable factors that need to be tested more frequently to monitor and respond in real time. Therefore, the duration of the test period will be adjusted from the initial first duration to a shorter second duration. A shorter test period means that the system will run the network test script more frequently to capture any changes in network performance in a timely manner.

[0060] On the contrary, if the network test information indicates that the network performance of the first test area remains in an ascending state, it usually means that the network condition is improving or in a stable state. In this case, the test terminal does not need to test too frequently, so it can adjust the duration of the test period from the first duration to a longer third duration. A longer test period can reduce unnecessary testing, thus saving resources and time.

[0061] This dynamic adjustment of the test period duration based on network performance not only improves the efficiency and flexibility of testing, but also better adapts to the testing needs in different network environments. When the network performance is poor, by shortening the test period, problems can be found and solved in a timely manner; when the network performance is good, by extending the test period, unnecessary testing work can be reduced, making the testing process more efficient.

[0062] In addition, in another embodiment, different test areas may have different importance and business needs. Some key business areas or core network nodes may require more frequent and accurate testing to ensure the stability and availability of the network. Therefore, when dynamically adjusting the test period, the importance factor of the test area can be considered.

[0063] Each test area can be assigned an importance weight, which can be determined based on factors such as business size, number of users, historical failure rate, etc. For high importance test areas, even if the network performance appears stable, the test period can be appropriately shortened to detect potential problems in a timely manner. For low importance test areas, the test period can be relatively extended to reduce testing costs.

[0064] Alternatively, historical test data records long-term changes and trends in network performance, which can provide valuable reference for dynamic adjustment mechanisms. By analyzing historical test data, seasonal changes, periodic fluctuations, or long-term downward trends in network performance can be identified.

[0065] Based on these trend information, the system can predict the possible changes of future network performance, and adjust the test period accordingly. For example, if historical data shows that the network performance of a certain test area is prone to decline in a certain time period, the test period can be shortened in that time period to strengthen monitoring. Conversely, if historical data shows that the network performance is stable for a long time, the test period can be appropriately extended.

[0066] In this embodiment, by comprehensively considering multiple factors, the dynamic adjustment mechanism can more flexibly adapt to different network environments and test requirements, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the test. This helps to discover network problems in a timely manner, optimize network performance, and ensure the stable operation of business.

[0072] Step S105, the positioning information meets the start threshold, and the service measurement is started;

[0073] Step S106, the service test script is executed, and test information is collected;
