AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for evaluating the startup performance of in-vehicle applications rely on general mobile testing frameworks, lack dedicated and automated unified measurement techniques, and are highly dependent on manual intervention with difficulty in ensuring accuracy.
By acquiring log information and video of the cold start process of in-vehicle applications, and combining a dual-channel measurement mechanism of system monitoring and visual frame analysis, the system identifies the logical start and end times, calculates the cold start time, and generates a visual report.
It achieves high-precision, automated, and reproducible measurement of the cold start time of in-vehicle applications, accurately determines the moment when the interface is fully rendered, without modifying the application code, and is compatible with multiple in-vehicle operating systems.
