Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] Figure 1 A flowchart of an application testing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to testing application methods in application codes. The method can be executed by an application testing device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0036] S110: Obtain a link to be tested of the application to be tested.

[0037] Specifically, the link to be tested is used to represent part or all of the links in the application link. The application link contains multiple application methods with at least one level of calling relationship. The application link is used to represent the calling coupling between all methods in the application code of the application to be tested.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the method further includes: deploying a probe in the application to be tested to monitor method attribute data corresponding to each application method in the application to be tested; and constructing an application link of the application to be tested based on the method name and call message in the monitored method attribute data.

[0039] Specifically, a probe installation package is sent to a terminal device running the application to be tested, so as to install the probe in the terminal device. The probe is bound with an application identifier of the application to be tested, wherein the application identifier is used to uniquely identify the application to be tested.

[0040] In this embodiment, the call message includes the input and output parameters of the application method and at least one call method name corresponding to the application method. Exemplarily, the method attribute data also includes method identification data and thread ID information of the application method. The data content of the method attribute data is not limited here.

[0041] The advantage of this setting is that it solves the problem of requiring developers of the application to be tested to manually build the application link, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of building the application link.

[0042] On the basis of the above embodiments, specifically, before constructing the application link of the application to be tested based on the method names and call messages in the monitored method attribute data, the method also includes: performing preprocessing operations on each method attribute data respectively; wherein the preprocessing operations include desensitization processing and / or data cleaning processing.

[0043] Here, illustratively, the input and output parameters in the method attribute data are desensitized.

[0044] The advantage of this setting is that desensitization processing can improve the data security of the monitoring data of the application to be tested during the application testing process, and data cleaning processing can ensure the accuracy, consistency, integrity, and availability of the data, thereby ensuring the executableness of the application testing method and the accuracy of the test results.

[0045] In this embodiment, the link to be tested includes at least one main test method. In a specific embodiment, the link to be tested includes one main test method, or one main test method and sub-test methods that have at least one level of calling relationship with the main test method, or at least two main test methods and sub-test methods that have at least one level of calling relationship with each main test method. The main test method is used to represent the application method at the top of the calling link in the link to be tested.

[0046] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a link to be tested provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 2 The entry method, methods 1 to 13 in the above together constitute the application link of the application to be tested. Figure 2 Method 1, Method 4 and Method 5 filled in medium grey represent the link to be tested, wherein Method 1 represents the main test method in the link to be tested, and Method 4 and Method 5 are the sub-test methods in the link to be tested. Figure 2 The link to be tested shown also includes method 2, so method 1 and method 2 are both main test methods in the link to be tested.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, obtaining a link to be tested of an application to be tested includes: obtaining method heat data corresponding to each application method in the application link; adding application methods whose method heat data meet preset heat conditions to a reference test link, and using at least one test link with a call relationship in the reference test link as a link to be tested.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, the method heat data includes at least one of the following heat data: the number of calls, the number of calls, and the call ratio of the application method in the application link. The number of calls is used to characterize the number of other application methods that call the application method, the number of calls is used to characterize the number of other application methods called by the application method, and the call ratio is used to characterize the ratio between the call volume and the number of calls. For example, Figure 2 Taking method 3 in as an example, the number of calls, number of calls, and call ratio corresponding to method 3 are 1, 3, and 3 respectively.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the method heat data includes at least one heat data of the number of calls, the number of calls and the response time of the application method monitored during the operation of the application to be tested, wherein the number of calls is used to represent the number of times the application method is called by other application methods during the operation of the application to be tested, the number of calls is used to represent the number of times the application method calls other application methods during the operation of the application to be tested, and the response time is used to represent the time it takes to calculate the output parameters based on the input parameters when the application method is called.

[0050] Specifically, the preset heat condition can be that a preset number of heat data items each exceed a corresponding heat threshold value. The heat threshold values ​​corresponding to each heat data item can be the same or different. For example, the preset number can be 1 or 3. The preset number can be customized based on the total number of heat data items in the method heat data. The preset number is not limited here.

[0051] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a reference test link provided by an embodiment of the present invention, specifically, Figure 3 Method 1, Method 3, Method 4, Method 5, Method 6, Method 7, and Method 11 filled in medium gray together constitute a reference test link. The reference test link contains two test links with a calling relationship, one is a test link composed of Method 1, Method 4, Method 5, and Method 11, and the other is a test link composed of Method 3, Method 5, and Method 6.

[0052] S120: Generate reference test cases based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each main test method.

[0053] Specifically, the input parameters corresponding to each main test method are used as input parameters of the reference test case, and the output parameters corresponding to each main test method are used as expected output parameters of the reference test case. In a specific embodiment, based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each main test method, a reference test case is generated, including: obtaining a reference test framework corresponding to the test environment, adding the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each sub-test method and each main test method in the link to be tested to the reference test framework, and obtaining a reference test case.

[0054] The advantage of this setting is that it ensures the adaptability between the target test cases and the test environment, and expands the applicable scenarios of the application test method.

[0055] S130: Obtain at least one direct call method located outside the application link of the application to be tested, and generate a virtual object use case based on input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each direct call method.

[0056] Specifically, the direct calling method is used to represent an application method that has a direct calling relationship with at least one test method in the link to be tested. Figure 2 For example, the direct calling methods located at the periphery of the link to be tested include four application methods, namely method 9 to method 12.

[0057] In this embodiment, the virtual object use case is used to release the dependency of the link under test on the application method with which it has a direct calling relationship, and correspondingly, it also releases the dependency of the link under test on the application method with which it has an indirect calling relationship.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, a virtual object use case is generated based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each direct call method, including: obtaining a mock framework corresponding to the test environment, adding the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each direct call method to the mock framework, and obtaining a virtual object use case.

[0059] The advantage of this setting is that it ensures the adaptability between the target test cases and the test environment, and expands the applicable scenarios of the application test method.

[0060] S140 : Generate a target test case based on the virtual object test case and the reference test case, and perform a test operation on the application to be tested based on the target test case.

[0061] Specifically, the virtual object test case is added to the reference test case to obtain the target test case. Figure 2 For example, during the execution of the target test case, the execution logic represented by the virtual object use case is as follows: in response to monitoring that method 4 calls method 9 based on the input parameters of method 9, the output parameter of method 9 is used as the return value of method 4 calling method 9; in response to monitoring that method 4 calls method 10 based on the input parameters of method 10, the output parameter of method 10 is used as the return value of method 4 calling method 10; in response to monitoring that method 5 calls method 11 based on the input parameters of method 11, the output parameter of method 11 is used as the return value of method 5 calling method 11; in response to monitoring that method 5 calls method 12 based on the input parameters of method 12, the output parameter of method 12 is used as the return value of method 5 calling method 12.

[0062] If necessary Figure 2The link to be tested is tested as shown in the figure. The traditional application test case includes 9 calling test cases, namely, calling method 1, method 4-method 5, method 9-method 12, and method 14-method 15, which obviously exceeds the test scope limited by the link to be tested (method 1, method 4-method 5).

[0063] The technical solution of this embodiment generates a reference test case based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to the main test method in the test link of the application to be tested, obtains at least one direct call method in the application link of the application to be tested that is located outside the test link, and generates a virtual object use case based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each direct call method, generates a target test case based on the virtual object use case and the reference test case, and performs test operations on the application to be tested based on the target test case, thereby eliminating the dependence of the test link on the application method located outside the test link, thereby solving the problem that the application test cannot accurately define the test scope and improving the test efficiency of the application test.

[0064] Based on the above embodiment, specifically, after obtaining the link to be tested of the application to be tested, the method further includes: executing step S120 when no target test case corresponding to the link to be tested is stored; after generating the target test case based on the virtual object case and the reference test case, the method further includes: storing the link to be tested in correspondence with the target test case.

[0065] The advantage of this setting is that it improves the efficiency of obtaining target test cases, thereby further improving the testing efficiency of the applied test method.

[0066] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of another application testing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment further refines the "obtaining a link to be tested of the application to be tested" in the above embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S210: Output and display multiple application methods in the application link of the application to be tested in a visual interactive interface.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, all application methods in the application chain are simultaneously output and displayed in a visual interactive interface.

[0069] In another specific embodiment, in response to detecting a search operation input by the user, the search application method corresponding to the search operation in the application link and the direct calling method and / or directly called method corresponding to the search application method are simultaneously output and displayed in the visual interactive interface.

[0070] by Figure 2For example, assuming that the search application method is method 5, method 5, method 11-method 12 are output and displayed in the visual interaction interface at the same time, or method 1-method 2, method 5 are output and displayed in the visual interaction interface at the same time, or method 1-method 2, method 5, method 11-method 12 are output and displayed in the visual interaction interface at the same time.

[0071] S220 : In response to detecting a selection operation input by the user based on the visual interactive interface, add a selection application method corresponding to the selection operation as a test method to the link to be tested.

[0072] Based on the above embodiment, specifically, when the display mode of the application link is a non-full display mode, the method also includes: in response to detecting a selection operation of the user based on the visual interactive interface input, the direct calling method and / or the directly called method corresponding to the selected application method are displayed in the visual interactive interface.

[0073] The advantage of this setting is that since there are many application methods in the application link, the full display mode outputs and displays all application methods at the same time, which will affect the efficiency of users in selecting application methods to a certain extent. Displaying application methods layer by layer according to the search operations and selection operations input by the user can not only improve the efficiency of users in selecting application methods, but also avoid users from making incorrect selections and adding application methods that have no call relationship with the link to be tested to the link to be tested.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, before adding the selection application method corresponding to the selection operation as a test method to the link to be tested, the method also includes: when there is a calling relationship between the selection application method and at least one test method in the current test link, the current test link is used as the link to be tested; when there is no calling relationship between the selection application method and any test method in the current test link, an empty newly created test link is used as the link to be tested.

[0075] Specifically, the calling relationship includes a direct calling relationship and / or a direct called relationship.

[0076] by Figure 2 For example, assuming that the current test link includes method 1, method 4 and method 5, if method 2 is selected as the application method, since method 2 has a direct calling relationship with method 5 in the current test link, method 2 is added to the current test link to obtain a link to be tested consisting of method 1, method 2, method 4 and method 5; if method 6 is selected as the application method, since method 6 has no direct calling relationship and / or direct being called relationship with method 1, method 4 and method 5 in the current test link, a new link to be tested is generated based on method 6.

[0077] In another specific embodiment, when there is no calling relationship between the selected application method and any test method in the current test link, information indicating a selection error is output based on the selected application method.

[0078] Exemplary notifications for incorrect selections may include disabling the selection control for the selected application method, or generating a text prompt such as "The current application method xx does not have a call relationship with the current test link." The output format of the notification for incorrect selections is not limited and can be customized based on actual needs.

[0079] The advantage of this setting is that it prevents users from making erroneous selections and adding an application method that has no calling relationship with the current test link to the link to be tested.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, before adding the selection application method corresponding to the selection operation as a test method to the link to be tested, the method also includes: obtaining method identification data of the selection application method corresponding to the selection operation; when the method identification data belongs to external identification data, based on the selection application method, outputting information for prompting prohibition of selection; wherein the method identification data includes a method identification and / or a method class name, and the external identification data indicates that the application method belongs to an external access method.

[0081] Among them, illustratively, the method identifier can be composed of at least one of numbers, words, uppercase letters, lowercase letters or special characters. The composition form of the method identifier is not limited here, and can be customized according to actual needs.

[0082] Exemplarily, the message used to indicate the prohibition of selection may include setting the selection control corresponding to the selected application method to an unselectable state, or generating a text prompt such as "Application method xxx cannot be used for testing." The output format of the message used to indicate the prohibition of selection is not limited and can be customized according to actual needs.

[0083] The benefit of this setting is that it avoids unnecessary data pollution to third-party programs corresponding to external access methods and improves the standardization of application testing.

[0084] S230: Generate reference test cases based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each main test method.

[0085] S240: Obtain at least one direct call method located outside the application link of the application to be tested, and generate a virtual object use case based on the input parameters and output parameters corresponding to each direct call method.

[0086] S250 : Generate a target test case based on the virtual object test case and the reference test case, and perform a test operation on the application to be tested based on the target test case.

[0087] S230-S250 in this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment. Figure 1 S120 - S140 shown correspond to the same or similar steps and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0088] The technical solution of this embodiment is to display the output of multiple application methods in the application link of the application to be tested in a visual interactive interface. In response to detecting a selection operation of the user based on the visual interactive interface input, the selected application method corresponding to the selection operation is added as a test method to the link to be tested, thereby realizing the configurability of the link to be tested, increasing the combination forms of each test method in the link to be tested, and thus broadening the applicable scenarios of the application test method.

[0089] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a specific example of an application testing method provided by one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 5 Taking the example of an application to be tested being installed in an application container and an application test method serving a processing platform, on the application container side, a probe is installed in the application container where the application to be tested is installed. The probe is used to monitor the method attribute data of each application method in the application to be tested, and the multiple method attribute data obtained from the monitoring are uploaded to the processing platform.

[0090] On the processing platform side, the platform collects multiple method attribute data uploaded by the probes and performs desensitization and data cleaning on them. Based on the method name and call message in each method attribute data, the platform constructs an application link, displays the application link in a visual interactive interface, and stores it in a preset storage space.

[0091] Based on the operation data input by the user through the visual interactive interface, a link to be tested is determined, a target test case is generated based on the link to be tested, a test operation is performed on the application to be tested based on the target test case, and the link to be tested and the target test case are stored in a preset storage space. Alternatively, if a target test case is found from the preset storage space based on the link to be tested, a test operation is performed on the application to be tested based on the target test case.
