Description

Application environment setting method and test method using the same {METHOD FOR SETTING CONFIGURATION OF APPLICATION AND TESTING METHOD USING THEREOF}

The present invention relates to an application usage environment setting method and a test method using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for arbitrarily configuring and testing an application environment at a remote location.

In general, smart devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like, have application programs having specific purposes and functions. A program, hereinafter referred to as an "application" in the present specification, may be installed and executed on a device.

In the early years since the application of smart devices, the core of app development was a novel idea. However, as the technology matures and the competition becomes fierce, the core of recent application development is shifting to ease of use and quality. In detail, the 1st and 2nd generation applications are mainly operated on a smartphone-only machine, and fresh ideas were the key to success. In recent years, however, as competition among applications of many homogeneous functions is fierce, it has become essential to create and release applications that are intuitive and error-free.

Therefore, it is necessary to release the application to the application market after thoroughly testing and supplementing the application thoroughly for actual users, and since it is essential to maintain error management and introduce new events even after launching, quality inspection is as important as application development. The importance of the role of a quality tester (QA) is being highlighted.

Since the quality tester needs to check the cause of the error and take quick corrective action when an error occurs while the general user uses the application, the quality tester should be able to arbitrarily change the configuration of the application use environment according to the situation. For example, in a game application, the quality tester turns off the monster's regeneration setting in the region when an error occurs that causes the monsters to become excessively strong, and whether the error is caused by an internal build problem. After determining whether the problem is a server, remove the cause of the problem and turn on Monster Reg. Again.

When setting up such an environment through application build change, it is cumbersome to change the build and register a new version in the application store every time the build is changed, and the user also needs to update the application every new setting. There is inconvenience.

On the other hand, when a quality tester introduces a new function to an application or provides an event, the quality tester can change various configuration settings in a service environment similar to a real service environment provided to real users to ensure that these functions and events perform without error. You need to test it. In addition, the developer needs to run the application in an environment similar to a real service environment and to change the configuration settings at a higher level than the tester for application maintenance and new version development.

Therefore, current application service companies need to design a plurality of builds for one application to operate in different service environments depending on the intended use. In detail, the application of a development build that operates as a developer service environment (e.g., an alpha service environment) that can be configured for the developer to make it easier for the developer to design the application, and the configuration for the tester so that the quality tester can test the application. A test build application running as a tester service environment (e.g., a beta service environment) and a real build application running as a real user service environment (e.g., a real service environment) that can be configured for general users are required. .

If multiple service environments are established, the quality tester sets up the store event in a beta service environment in advance and executes it if it is going to work properly. By setting the configuration of the real service environment, new events can be seamlessly provided to the general users without error.

However, if the build of the beta service environment and the real service environment is different, the beta service environment may operate correctly, but an error may occur in the real service environment.

In addition, when the build needs to be modified, the developer has to modify all the builds of the above three service environments. In particular, the current application should be designed in a different build for each application store that supplies different applications for different operating systems (eg, Android, IOS). If you create three builds according to the above usages, There is a problem in that the number of exponentially increases the difficulty of management.

In addition, the quality tester should install both the application in the beta service environment and the application in the real service environment to run and test both applications alternately, and in order to test the newly updated version of the application, the new version of the application must be reinstalled. There is a difficulty.

Overview

The terminal 100, the application is installed, when the application is executed according to the user's input can be utilized in conjunction with the service server 300 to run the application provided by the application. In this case, the terminal 100 may additionally provide a user interface for changing a usage environment setting of the application.

Here, the application environment setting includes setup settings including application service environment settings, service server settings, application execution version settings, and execution environment settings related to post-run use such as events, execution functions, and payment environments. It may include.

Hereinafter, the application which can be set as the usage environment is defined as a main application, and a program that provides a user interface for setting the usage environment of the main application is defined as a setting application.

Main application

In detail, the main application may correspond to any application program installed in the terminal 100 to perform additional functions, and may include, for example, a game application, a web browser application, a messenger application, and the like.

The main application, the build is designed to enable the use environment setting, the internal environment can be changed by changing the data inside the main application through the web configuration received from the service server 300, and through the app configuration setting of the setting application User environment can be set.

In more detail, the main application is built to change the environment of use of the main application according to the web config (web. Config) received from the service server 300, so that the developer or tester provides the web config provided by the terminal 100. The web interface of the service server 300 may be set through the setting interface to set a use environment of the main application.

For example, the developer and the tester may remotely access the service server 300 through the web browser application or the setting application of the terminal 100 and provide a user interface for setting the web configuration when the user is authorized to configure the configuration. By setting the web configuration through the user interface, it is possible to change and set the use environment of the main application even in a remote location.

That is, the developer terminal 101 and the tester terminal 100 may provide a web config setting user interface of the service server 300 so as to change the use environment setting of the main application even at a remote location.

At this time, setting the application environment by changing the web configuration setting may be an execution environment setting of the application. For example, the tester terminal 100 may set a web config so that an event occurs on a specific date, and provide a setting for an execution environment, such as setting a web config to turn off a store function.

Through the web config setting interface of the terminal 100, a developer or a tester has an advantage in that it is easy to identify an error occurrence factor when an error occurs while using an application, and quick complementary measures can be made through the use environment setting.

In addition, the main application is designed to change the application usage environment by setting the app config (app. Config) through the setting application, so that the developer or the tester can set the application usage environment through the app config setting of the service server 300. You can set

Referring to FIG. 3, the main application 500 may include a setup updater module 510 configured to change and set setup data 520 for a setup environment through an app config when the main application 500 is executed.

That is, if the setting application 400 matching the main application 500 is installed in the terminal 100, the setting application 400 provides an app config setting user interface, and is based on the app config set by the user. The application usage environment may be changed by changing the setup data 520 through the setup updater module 510 of the main application 500.

-Setting application

4 shows an app config setting screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the usage environment setting that can be changed through the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 includes an application service environment setting 11, a service server setting 12, an application execution version setting 14, and the like. May be an application setup configuration.

In detail, the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 includes a developer service environment (eg, an alpha service environment) that can be set for a developer, a service environment for a tester (eg, a beta service environment) that can be set for a tester, An app config setting interface for selecting one of a real user service environment (eg, a real service environment) that can be set for a general user may be provided. As such, different service environments may have different usage environment setting rights and displayed information. Here, the alpha service environment refers to an environment in which the main application 500 is executed as a development mode by connecting to the development server 310 so that developers develop the main application 500 in the developer terminal 101 and proceed with self testing. It is an environment for development, so the real service environment, login, payment system, etc. are completely different, and there is no restriction on the execution environment setting authority such as character image change / delete / add. The beta service environment refers to an environment in which the main application 500 is executed as a test mode by connecting to the test server 320 as an environment for the tester to test before a new event or service release to the tester terminal 100. Since it is an environment for testing, the real service environment, login, payment system, etc. are completely different, and the execution environment setting that can arbitrarily set the game money level for various tests will be possible.

The main application 500 is designed as one build, but may selectively provide both an alpha service environment, a beta service environment, and a real service environment according to an app configuration.

Therefore, even if only one main application 500 is installed in the terminal 100, the developer or the tester can run the main application 500 in the developer mode or the test mode through the setting application 400, and is used by the general user. Since the main application 500 can be executed in the real mode, there is an advantage in that application development or testing is easy.

In addition, since a plurality of service environments can be provided by one main application 500, the error occurrence rate will be reduced even if the usage environment tested in the alpha / beta service environment is applied to the real service environment as it is, and even when the build is modified. Since only the main application 500 of the build needs to be modified, there is an advantage that the work load of the developer is significantly reduced.

In addition, the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 may provide a user interface for setting the service server 300 to be accessed for executing the application.

In detail, the service server 300 may include a plurality of development servers 310, a test server 320, and a real service server 330, and the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 may include the above-described server. During the execution of the main application 500 may provide to set up the server to be connected. Therefore, the tester or developer can change the access server to check the cause of the application error, or use the test server 320 or the development server 310 to test new events or functions.

For example, the tester may set the test server 320 to generate a specific event and then connect to the test server 320 to randomly test whether the specific event works well. In this case, the tester may test the event in a beta service environment, and then test the main application 500 by using the app config setting again in the real service environment.

In addition, the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 may provide a user interface for setting an execution version of the main application 500.

The main application 500 may include the current service version of the main application 500, the old version of the main application 500 before updating to the current version, and / or future version data of the main application 500 to be updated in the future. This version data setting may be included in the setup data 520.

Therefore, the app application can be set to the current version, the old version, or the future version through the setting application 400 to execute the main application 500 in the setting version.

The developer or tester can change the version through the setting application 400 to execute the main application 500 to test the possibility of error occurrence of a new version, find the cause of the error, or test a newly introduced event. It can be used in various ways.

In addition, the setting application 400 of the terminal 100 may provide a user interface for setting the execution environment of the main application 500 as well as the setup setting. However, when the main application 500 can change the execution environment setting through the app config setting, there is a risk of hacking. Therefore, the execution environment setting may be preferably made through the web config setting.

In summary, the main application 500 may set the use environment of the main application 500 through the app config setting through the setting application 400 and the web config setting of the service server 300, and through the app config setting. You can set up setup like service environment and execute execution environment setup such as event generation through web config setup to perform various tests, error cause detection, usage environment setup.

To this end, the developer terminal 101 and the tester terminal 100, the main application 500 and the setting application 400 is installed to enable a variety of setup environment settings, the general user terminal 102, the main application ( Only 500 may be installed to execute the main application 500 in a real service environment.

In detail, the developer terminal 101 receives and installs the main application 500 at any time as the application providing server 200, if only the setting application 400 is already installed, and then sets up the main application 500 as an alpha service environment through a setup setting. It can be executed, and can provide a user environment setting method, a test method, etc. for performing various development tasks through the web server configuration of the development server 310 and the development server 310 to be connected.

Similarly, the tester terminal 100, if only the setting application 400 is already installed, the main application 500 is installed at any time by receiving and installing the main application 500 to the application providing server 200, the main application (500) to the beta service environment through the setup settings ), And may provide a user environment setting method for performing various development tasks, a test method, and the like through the web server configuration of the test server 320 and the development server 310 setup setting to be connected.

Since the general user terminal 102 can install only the main application 500 from the application providing server 200, the general user terminal 102 may execute the main application 500 only in a real service environment.

One embodiment of the main application environment settings

Hereinafter, a process of changing an application using environment through web config and app config setting based on the test terminal 100 will be described in detail.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of changing an application use environment through app config setting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, if there is an execution input of the main application 500, the processor 150 of the terminal 100 may execute the main application 500. (S101)

In detail, the processor 150 may execute the main application 500 when the execution input of the user's main application 500 or a condition that the other main application 500 is executed is satisfied.

When the main application 500 executes, the processor 150 may search for the setting application 400 by operating the setup updater module 510 of the main application 500. (S102)

If the setting application 400 is already registered in the setup updater module 510, the main application 500 may be directly executed according to the setup setting set through the setting application 400 without a separate searching procedure.

If there is no setting application 400 matched to set the usage environment of the main application 500, the setup updater module 510 may include a real service environment for the general user, an available real service server 330, and the current version. The main application 500 can be executed by setting up the setup. (S103)

In other words, if the main application 500 is a general user terminal 102 without the setting application 400, the main application 500 operates only in a real service environment, and the general user receives the main application 500 and executes the application only in the real service environment. It may be designed to.

If a matching setting application 400 is found to set the main application 500 using environment, the setup updater module 510 sets the setup data 520 according to the app config setting set in the setting application 400. In this case, the main application 500 may be executed in the use environment according to the setup setting.

If the setting application 400 is set to execute automatically, the processor 150 may automatically execute the setting application 400 to set the usage environment before the main application 500 when the setting application 400 is detected. . (S104)

That is, according to the user setting, it can be executed to call up the app config settings set in the setting application 400, or, setting the app config by automatically executing the setting application 400 before running the main application (500) After providing the user interface to execute the main application 500 according to the app config set through this will be possible.

When the setting application 400 is executed, the processor 150 may provide an app config setting user interface provided by the setting application 400. (S105)

For example, referring to FIG. 4, the app config setting user interface selects an application setup setting including an application service environment setting 11, a service server setting 12 to be linked, an application execution version setting 14, and the like. It may be a graphical user interface.

In detail, the setting application 400 may first provide to select one of an alpha service environment, a beta service environment, and a real service environment.

When the service environment is selected, the setting application 400 may provide a service server 300 that can be accessed in the selected service environment and then select only the searched service server 300. For example, when the beta service environment is selected, the setting application 400 may search for test servers 320 accessible from the beta service environment and, if possible, search for real service servers 330 and provide them as selectable. There is.

In addition, when the service environment and the access service server 300 are selected, the setting application 400 may provide to search for the execution version executable in the selected service environment and the service server 300 and to select only the found execution version.

In this way, the setting application 400 may assist the user in setting up the setup, thereby inducing the user to set up the setup environment more smoothly.

When the app config setting through the setting application 400 is completed, the processor 150 may execute the main application 500 according to the set app config. (S107)

In detail, the setting application 400 transmits the app config set by the user to the setup updater module 510, and the setup updater module 510 sets up the setup data 520 according to the app config setting and then sets the main application 500. ) Can be executed.

For example, if the app config is set up by the tester to the exclusive service environment, the first test server 320 and the future version, the main application 500 connects to the first test server 320 in the beta service environment. Can be run with future versions.

When the main application 500 is executed in the setup environment, the processor 150 connects to the service server 300 suitable for the setup environment, receives the web configuration, and then again returns the main application 500 according to the received web configuration. The environment can be set up and run. (S108, S109)

For example, the processor 150 receives a web configuration corresponding to a future version through the communication unit 130 to the first test server 320, and according to an execution environment such as a new event preset in the future version, the main application. 500 may be executed.

As such, the main application 500 can be executed in various environments even though it is a single build through the app config and web config settings, so that testers or developers can test various environments, use for error detection, and emergency remote use. Environmental settings and the like may be possible.

- Use the main application preferences via the Settings application

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting an app config with the setting application 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when a user first inputs and executes the setting application 400 itself, the processor 150 may execute the setting application 400. (S201)

Embodiments in which the setting application 400 is included in one main application 500 or matched and installed are also possible, but an embodiment in which a setting environment of the plurality of main applications 500 is set as one setting application 400 is also possible. .

That is, it is possible to set the use environment for various main applications 500 through one setting application 400.

When the setting application 400 is executed, the processor 150 may search the main application 500 in which the setting application 400 can use the environment. (S202)

In detail, the setting application 400 may detect, as the main application 500, an application designed to enable the use environment setting through the app config setting.

If a plurality of main applications 500 are detected, the setting application 400 may provide a main application 500 for setting a use environment so that a user can select the main applications 500.

When the main application 500 to set the usage environment is determined, the setting application 400 may detect an app configurable in the main application 500. (S203)

In detail, the setting application 400 may detect usage environments (eg, service environment, service server 300, version, etc.) that the main application 500 can change according to the app config setting.

In addition, the setting application 400 may provide a user interface for setting the detected app config. (S204)

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the app config setting user interface of the setting application 400 may be a graphic user interface for selecting an application setup setting including an application service environment setting, a coordinated service server setting, an application execution version setting, and the like.

In this case, the setting application 400 may first provide to select one of an alpha service environment, a beta service environment, and a real service environment. When the service environment is selected, the setting application 400 may provide a service server 300 that can be accessed in the selected service environment and then select only the searched service server 300. Next, when the service environment and the access service server 300 is selected, the setting application 400 may provide a search service execution version executable in the selected service environment and the service server 300 and select only the dark execution version. have.

In this way, the setting application 400 may assist the user in setting up the setup, and induce a more smooth setup of the setup environment.

When the user's app config setting is completed through the app config setting user interface, the setting application 400 transmits the set app config to the setup updater module 510 of the main application 500 and then the main application 500. You can set up the setup environment. (S205)

According to this, the developer or the tester has the advantage of being able to manage various main applications 500 with one setting application 400.

In addition, by dualizing and setting the application usage environment into two types, the app config and the web config, it is possible to develop and test various usage environments, and it is easy to find the subject in error occurrence when an error occurs.

Hereinafter, a method of testing an event or a service to be newly introduced into the main application 500 through such dual configuration will be described in detail.

-New Event Test Method

7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of testing a usage environment change setting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the processor 150 may provide a user interface for setting a web config of the service server 300 to generate an event. (S301)

In detail, the processor 150 may provide a user interface for setting a web configuration for the service server 300 selected by the user through the web browser application or the setting application 400.

For example, the tester connects to the first service server 300 (eg, the test server 320) to be set up through the web browser application of the terminal 100, and then authenticates authority (eg, to the first service server 300). , Log in), and if the setting authority is granted, the web config setting user interface of the first service server 300 may be provided to set the web config. Here, the execution environment setting that can be changed through the web config setting may include a store on / off, an item price, an acquired experience value, an acquired game money, a monster specification, a payment event, and the like.

Accordingly, the tester may set execution environments of various main applications 500 through the web configuration of the first service server 300.

That is, the main application 500 is designed to change the execution environment through the web config setting of the first service server 300, so that the tester can set the execution environment of the main application 500 through the web config setting. have.

For example, when the tester connects to the first service server 300 through the web config setting user interface as version 1.1 (eg, the main application 500 of the real service environment is currently running as version 1.0), the tester acquires the game money. You can configure the web configuration as an execution environment that generates double events.

When the web config setting is completed, the processor 150 may provide an app config setting user interface. (S302)

In detail, the processor 150 may operate the setting application 400 to provide an app config setting user interface.

The tester may set a setup environment of the main application 500 to generate the test event through the app config setting user interface.

For example, the tester may set up a setup to connect to the first service server 300 through the web configuration user interface and to execute the main application 500 in version 1.1.

In another embodiment, if there is a web configuration change setting through the provided web configuration setting user interface, the processor 150 automatically sets the app configuration to execute the main application 500 in the execution environment set by the web configuration change setting. Setup settings can be made.

For example, if the processor 150 has a web config user setting such that a new event occurs in version 1.1 with respect to the first service server 300, the app config is set by the setting application 400 to the first service server 300. ) And automatically set to run in version 1.1 to run the main application 500 in an automatically set setup environment, thereby improving user convenience.

When the app config setting is completed, the processor 150 may connect to the first service server 300 according to the setup of the app config set, and receive a web config in which a new event is set. (S304)

Next, the processor 150 changes and executes the main application 500 data according to the received web config setting, and may execute the main application 500 of the new usage environment set by the tester. (S305)

For example, the processor 150 may execute the main application 500 using the received web config setting to execute the main application 500 in an execution environment in which an event doubling the acquired game money occurs.

In addition, the tester may test whether the newly introduced event operates properly by executing the main application 500 in the execution environment, and in another embodiment, the processor 150 may automatically test whether the newly introduced event operates well. It may be. (S306)

Testers can also test that newly introduced events run as they change their service environment.

For example, the tester tests the event in a beta service environment, resets the app config to the real service environment, and then tests whether the event works properly in the real service environment. 500) can be used to test newly introduced events in various service environments.

On the other hand, the developer or the tester can identify the cause of the error occurred in the main application 500 and cope quickly through the dual use environment setting through the app config setting and the web config setting.

-How to deal with main application error

First, the test terminal 100 may execute the main application 500 in a real service environment and determine that an error occurs in one function of the main application 500. (S401)

In detail, when a general user receives a complaint about an error occurrence or an error is detected through an automatic analysis of the service server 300, the test terminal 100 receives a report about the error, and then, through a separate setting application 400. After setting up the real service environment, the main application 500 may be executed to check the occurrence of the error.

For example, when receiving a complaint that there is an error in the use of a store, the tester may execute the store function after executing the main application 500 in the real service environment and check whether an error occurs.

When it is confirmed that an error occurs, the test terminal 100 may set a web config of the real service server 330 that provides a real service environment, and quickly block access to a function in which the error occurs. (S402)

For example, by using the web config setting user interface for the real service server 330 provided by the tester terminal 100, the test terminal 100 closes the error functioning store function, so that the general users may store the store function once. By disabling it, it is possible to prevent further damages caused by the error function.

Next, the test terminal 100 may change the setup environment through the app config setting user interface and execute the main application 500 in various environments to quickly determine the cause of the error. (S403)

In detail, the test terminal 100 changes the service server 300, the version, and the service environment through the app config setting user interface, and the cause of the error is the service server 300, or a problem of the internal build of the main application 500. Can identify whether (S404)

For example, if an error occurs only when accessing the specific service server 300, the test terminal 100 may determine that there is an error in the specific service server 300. (S405)

In addition, if an error persists regardless of the service server 300, the test terminal 100 may determine that the internal build of the main application 500 is a problem. (S406)

As such, the tester has an advantage of quickly coping with an error occurrence and determining the cause of the error by using the binary configuration.
