Detailed Description

The test script recording method, the application program test method and the related device provided by the embodiment of the invention are used for improving the script recording efficiency and avoiding the problem of low convenience caused by the use of a PC (personal computer) end for recording and playing back the script.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, it being understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are merely for illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

To facilitate understanding of the invention, the present invention relates to technical terms in which:

1. UI Automator Viewer, a graphical interface tool to scan and analyze UI controls for applications.

2. The operation performed by the user for the application: click operation, slide operation, and the like.

3. Element information: control information or webpage link information and the like in an interface displayed to a user by an application program, wherein the control information can include but is not limited to a control ID, a control name, coordinate information of the control in the interface and the like; the web page link information may be a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

4. An application program, which is a computer program capable of performing one or more specific tasks, has a visual display interface and can interact with a user, and for example, an electronic map, a WeChat, and the like can be referred to as an application program.

Although the prior art can record the test script of the mobile phone APP and play back the test script on other mobile phones, the following disadvantages exist in the technical solutions: or the script can only be recorded based on the coordinate information, the recorded operation is not accurate enough and cannot be compatible with different mobile phone terminals with different resolutions, and the compatibility adaptation adjustment needs to be carried out at a later stage; or the mobile phone needs to be connected with the PC terminal by using a USB cable, and the script recording and editing are performed on the PC terminal based on the interface element, the process of acquiring the information of the interface element of the mobile phone is time-consuming, the process of editing the script is easy to make mistakes, and if there is no USB cable or computer nearby, the script recording mode depending on the PC terminal has obvious scene limitation.

In order to solve the problems of low script recording efficiency and low convenience caused by using a PC terminal to record scripts in the prior art, the invention provides a solution, and refers to a structural schematic diagram of a system for recording test scripts and testing application programs shown in FIG. 1, wherein the system comprises a test script recording terminal, a server and at least one terminal device (1-n) containing an application program to be tested, and after receiving a test script recording request, the test script recording terminal starts the application program according to identification information of the application program carried in the request; identifying and recording each operation executed by the user aiming at the application program and element information of an interface displayed by the application program when each operation is executed; recording a test script according to each recorded operation and element information thereof; then, the test script recording terminal sends the test script generated by the method to the server for storage, so that when a user holding the terminal device i needs to test an application program in the user, an application program test instruction is triggered, and when the terminal device i receives the application program test instruction, a test script acquisition request of the application program is sent to the server; and after receiving the test script, the terminal device i tests the application program by using the test script, and outputs and displays a test result. The invention directly generates the script test program on the test script recording terminal without connecting to the PC through USB, thereby improving the script recording efficiency and simultaneously solving the problem of lower convenience brought by using the PC terminal to record the script in the prior art; in addition, after the test script is recorded by the test script recording terminal, the test script is sent to the server, so that when a user tests the application program in the terminal equipment, the user only needs to download the test script of the application program from the server to test the application program, and the participation of a PC (personal computer) is not needed, thereby greatly improving the automation degree, convenience, accuracy and compatibility of the function test of the application program in the terminal equipment.

The script recording terminal, the at least one terminal device provided with the application program and the server are in communication connection through a network, and the network can be a local area network, a wide area network and the like. The script recording terminal and the terminal device can be portable devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, notebook computers and the like), the server can be any device capable of providing internet services, and the application program can be any application program needing to be tested, such as China Mobile APP, Paibao, WeChat and QQ and the like.

Recording of test scripts provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 b-12 in conjunction with the system architecture diagram of fig. 1 a. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are merely illustrated for the convenience of understanding the spirit and principles of the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to any scenario where applicable.

As shown in fig. 1b, which is a schematic flowchart of a test script recording method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method provided by the present invention is described by taking an application to a test script recording terminal as an example, and the method includes the following steps:

and S11, after receiving the test script recording request, starting the application program according to the identification information of the application program carried in the request.

Specifically, the test script recording request is triggered according to the following process:

when a user needs to record a test script of an application program, a main interface of the test script automatic recording program arranged in a test script recording terminal is opened, referring to fig. 2, a script recording button in fig. 2 is an entrance for recording the test script, the user can be a tester, the tester is taken as an example for explanation, the tester triggers a script recording instruction by clicking the script recording button on the main interface, and thus the test script recording terminal jumps to the script recording main interface shown in fig. 3 after receiving the recording instruction, and the script recording main interface comprises a script adding button, a script name list, a script editing button, a script recording button and a script uploading button. The tester can trigger a new test script recording instruction by clicking a newly added script button, so that the test script recording terminal can jump to a newly added script interface shown in fig. 4 after receiving the instruction, the tester can determine the script name of the currently recorded test script according to an agreed naming rule, then the script name named by the tester is added to a script name list shown in fig. 3 by clicking the determining button in fig. 4, and then the tester can jump to an application program selection interface shown in fig. 5 by clicking the script recording button, so that a user can select an application program for recording the test script based on the application selection interface. The application selection interface in fig. 5 may display names, package names, icons, and the like of all applications installed on the current test script recording terminal, where the icons may be, but are not limited to, logos and the like. The tester can select an application program to record the test script of the application program based on the interface, and then click the script recording button in fig. 3 to trigger the test script recording request.

Preferably, after the tester clicks the script adding button, the name of the script can be input in the input box of the script adding interface shown in fig. 4, after the click is determined, the script recording main interface shown in fig. 3 is returned, and meanwhile, the name of the newly added script appears in the script name list; when the tester clicks the cancel button, the tester directly returns to the script recording main interface; when the script name input by the tester is consistent with the script name recorded by the script name list, a dialog box which covers the local script with the same name or not is popped up, when the tester clicks a determined button in the dialog box, the dialog box can return to a script recording main interface, meanwhile, the script with the same name in the script name list is covered, and when the tester clicks a cancel button in the dialog box, the script name can be continuously modified.

Preferably, considering that the display interface of the test script recording terminal is limited, the application list in the application selection interface shown in fig. 5 of the present invention can only display the related information of a plurality of applications once, so in order to display more applications, the present invention provides a function of obtaining more related information of applications by pulling down, and when a tester pulls down the application list, it is convenient to display more applications.

After receiving a test script recording request triggered by a tester based on the description, the test script recording terminal starts the application program according to the identification information of the application program carried in the test request, namely, jumps to the main interface of the application program, and the tester can click a script recording button on the main interface to start script recording.

The identification information of the application program may be, but is not limited to, a package name, a name, an icon, and the like of the application program.

Specifically, in the present invention, when acquiring the application program list based on the application program selection interface shown in fig. 5, a Package Manager class may be used to acquire all application programs in the test script recording terminal, since using the Package Manager class is a time-consuming operation, when requesting an application program, the present invention proposes that a child thread may be opened, after the application program request is completed, a handler is used to send a successful message to the main thread, a UI is updated in the main thread, and opening the child thread effectively avoids a stuck phenomenon when acquiring the application program list, thereby reducing the possibility of application program no response (ANR) occurring in the program. After the application program is selected, the operation of obtaining an interface across the application program can be a touch event through an Android event distribution mechanism, then the type of the current gesture is judged through a gesture recognizer, whether the current gesture is a sliding operation, a clicking operation or other operation is judged, and then the current gesture is stored in an Android lightweight built-in database sqlite.

And S12, identifying and recording each operation executed by the user aiming at the application program and element information of the interface shown by the application program when each operation is executed.

Specifically, after the test script recording terminal starts the application program, in order to generate the test script of the application program, a tester may execute a series of operations based on the application program, and the application program may respond to the operations executed by the tester, so that the test script recording terminal may open a service in the background to identify each operation executed by the tester based on the application program, and record element information in an interface displayed when the application program responds to each operation. The operation in the present invention may be, but is not limited to, a click operation, a slide operation, no operation, a text input, and other test operations, meanwhile, the element information that the application program presents on the interface in response to the operation of the tester may be, but is not limited to, an element ID, an element name, and position information of the element in the interface, and the position information of the element in the interface may be coordinate information.

Specifically, when recording a script, whether the current operation is a click or a slide can be determined by the operation of a finger. If the current mobile phone is clicked, the current clicked element information is recorded, and the element information is obtained by analyzing the current mobile phone XML information by using the UIAutomator Viewer developed secondarily and then packaged into a tree structure. The element information preferentially acquires the element ID of the element; when the value of the attribute is null, the attribute of text of the element, namely the element name, is taken; if the current interface is a null value, the coordinate information, namely the coordinate value, of the element in the current interface is recorded. When the finger operation is judged to be a slide, two coordinate values, namely a start point and an end point of the slide, are recorded.

Preferably, step S12 may be performed according to the following procedure:

Specifically, the method transplants and modifies part of codes of the UI Automator Viewer through the SDK, customizes an interface element information analysis interface in the UI Automator Viewer, acquires element information of the interface and forms XML data by calling the interface, and converts the XML data into tree-structure data. When the interface of the application program in the test script recording terminal is operated, the terminal can obtain the coordinates of the click interface. Because the tree structure data is recursively packaged by taking each control node as a demarcation point, the terminal can search the element corresponding to the coordinate through a recursive analysis algorithm, and then record the related information of the element into a fixed script format.

It should be noted that the test script recording terminal may be an Android terminal, and the expression manner of Toast in the Android terminal is as follows: when the XML is analyzed, a layer is covered on the interface of the mobile phone to intercept the touch event of the finger. When the interface is not analyzed, the tester cannot operate the mobile phone, various misoperation is prevented, the recording accuracy is ensured, and the user experience is improved. And after XML analysis is finished, event interception is cancelled, the mobile phone recovers the operation, and the operation is obtained to continue recording.

And S13, recording the test script according to each recorded operation and element information thereof, and sending the test script to the server for storage.

After the test script is recorded, a tester can trigger and send a test script instruction by clicking a script uploading button in fig. 3, and after the test script recording terminal receives the instruction, the recorded test script can be uploaded to a remote server, and a script storage module arranged in the server stores the received test script. Specifically, the test script recording terminal may send the test script of the application program to the server through http.

Preferably, the present invention further records the sending order between operations, the operation objects, the operation types, and the like when recording each operation and the element information thereof, and when executing step S13, the following procedure may be executed: generating script information of the operation according to each operation and element information thereof and the sending sequence of the operation, and then recording a test script based on the script information of each operation. The script information corresponding to each operation is generated by default, or may be edited, including the transmission order, the operation object, the operation type, and the like.

Preferably, step S13 may be performed according to the following procedure:

the method comprises the following steps: and acquiring the configuration information of the test script.

Preferably, the test script configuration information may be obtained according to the following procedures: displaying a script configuration interface to a user after receiving a script editing request triggered by a script recording main interface displayed to the user; and acquiring test script configuration information based on script configuration information input by a user aiming at the script configuration interface.

In specific implementation, when a tester clicks a script editing button in the script recording main interface shown in fig. 3, a script editing request is triggered, and after receiving the request, the test script recording terminal jumps to the script configuration interface shown in fig. 6. The tester can input the script configuration information required for recording the test script in the script configuration interface shown in fig. 6.

Preferably, the script configuration information in the present invention may include, but is not limited to: the service information of the terminal where the application program is located and the script running information which needs to be displayed when the test script is executed. The service information of the terminal where the application program is located includes, but is not limited to, a service name, a province, an operator, a terminal brand, an extraction type, a probe service platform, a probe terminal, and the like. Script run information may include, but is not limited to, sending order, operation type, request description, operation object, operation value, success key 1, success key 2, failure key, timestamp type, and timestamp name, among others.

Specifically, the script configuration interface shown in fig. 6 includes a script configuration information list and a script detail button. The script configuration information list is the service information of the terminal where the application program is located (i.e., the test script recording terminal in the present invention), and referring to fig. 6, a tester can edit the information in the script configuration information list, specifically, only a value of the service information needs to be selected in a radio box popped up corresponding to each service information, each service information has a default value, and if the tester does not perform any configuration, the default value is the default value.

When the script detail button in fig. 6 is clicked, the user jumps to a script detail viewing interface shown in fig. 7, which displays all steps, sending sequence, operation types, and operation objects contained in the test script to the tester. When any script in fig. 7 is clicked, the process jumps to a script step detail viewing interface shown in fig. 8, and the interface can show script execution information corresponding to each operation executed by the tester on the application program, that is, script execution information including a sending sequence, an operation type, an operation object, and the like, to the tester.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, the request description, the operation value, the success keyword, the failure keyword, the timestamp type, and the timestamp name may be selectively configured, where the success keyword and the failure keyword may be used to assist in determining whether the service test is successful. When a successful key is configured, information associated with the successful key may be present in the test script to verify the success and failure of the test when testing the application.

The tester can configure the service information of the terminal where the application program is located and the script running information required to be displayed for executing the test script according to the interfaces displayed in fig. 6 to 8, so that the test script recording terminal can obtain the test script configuration information.

Step two: and recording the test script according to the test script configuration information and the recorded each operation and element information thereof.

And recording the test script of the application program based on the test script configuration information acquired in the step one and each operation and element information thereof recorded in the step S12.

Preferably, the cancel and complete suspension buttons are displayed to the tester at the upper right corner of the recording interface in the recording process, and the tester can choose to cancel the operation or complete the recording of the test script.

Preferably, a project framework of BaseActivity + BaseFragment can be adopted, so that the fluency and efficiency of interface switching during recording can be greatly improved, meanwhile, the expandability is strong, and the addition of other modules is more convenient.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, a script recording module may be disposed in the test script recording terminal, and the script recording module executes the test script recording method shown in steps S11 to S13.

By adopting the test script recording method provided by the invention, after a test script recording request is received, the application program is started according to the identification information of the application program carried in the request; identifying and recording each operation executed by the user aiming at the application program and element information of an interface displayed by the application program when each operation is executed; and recording the test script according to each recorded operation and element information thereof, and sending the test script to a server for storage. By adopting the method, after the test script recording request is received, the recording is carried out only in the test script recording terminal, the recording can be carried out without being connected to a PC machine in the prior art, the interaction between the terminal and the PC machine is not needed, and the efficiency of recording the test script is effectively improved; in addition, the invention only needs to record the test script on the terminal, so the compatibility of the recorded test script is stronger, and moreover, because the PC is not needed, the application scene of the invention is wider.

After the test script is recorded, the present invention further provides a method for testing an application program based on the test script provided by the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, the method for testing an application program may include the following steps:

and S21, when receiving the application program test instruction, sending a test script acquisition request of the application program to the server.

In this step, when a user needs to test an application program in the terminal device, the user may click a script playback button in the main interface of the test script automatic recording program shown in fig. 2, so that the terminal device may receive an application program test instruction triggered by the user and send a test script acquisition request of the application program to the server, where the request may carry identification information of the application program.

Specifically, when the tester clicks the script playback button shown in fig. 2, that is, a test script test instruction is triggered, the terminal device jumps to the script playback interface shown in fig. 10, where the script playback interface includes a script name, a script execution state flag, a script execution button, and a script execution information display area; and meanwhile, sending a test script acquisition request to the server through an http request.

And S22, receiving the test script of the application program sent by the server.

After receiving the test script acquisition request, the server searches for the test script corresponding to the application program, and then issues the test script to the terminal device. It should be noted that, when the server receives the test script uploaded by the test script recording terminal, in order to facilitate downloading of test data of each application program by other terminal devices, the server may uniquely name the test script, and establish a corresponding relationship between identification information of the application program and the test script, so that the server can quickly search for the test script to be downloaded by the terminal device.

On the other hand, the server may also transmit a plurality of test scripts stored therein to the terminal device together.

Therefore, the terminal device can acquire the test script of the application program to be tested and display the test script in the script playback interface shown in fig. 10. Of course, the server may also issue all the test scripts to the terminal device, so that the terminal device may display all the test scripts in the script playback interface.

And S23, testing the application program by using the test script.

Specifically, the test script is analyzed and recorded through a secondarily developed UI Automator Viewer component, so that the recorded test script can be used for testing the application program by directly utilizing the UI Automator framework without editing.

Preferably, the script execution status flag of the present invention can generally have three states: not executed, successful, failed. If the successful keywords or the failed keywords are not configured in the script recording process, when each step in the process of testing the application program by using the test script can be successfully completed, the script execution state mark is successfully displayed, otherwise, the display is failed. If a successful keyword or a failed keyword is configured in the script recording process, the script execution state mark is successfully displayed only when the successful keyword is contained in the application program test result page element information; once a step fails to execute, or the result page element information does not contain a success keyword, or the result page element information contains a failure keyword, the script execution status flag will show a failure.

Preferably, the application program testing method provided by the present invention further comprises:

Specifically, the execution result detailed information of the most recently executed script may be displayed in the script execution information display area in the script playback interface shown in fig. 10. The tester can also click the execution state mark of a certain script, and the script execution information display area displays the detailed information of the execution result of the script. This information helps the tester to further edit, modify or re-record the script.

It should be noted that a script playback module may be provided in the terminal device, and the script playback module executes the application program test method.

In order to better understand the present invention, a method for recording a test script and a method for testing an application program based on the test script recorded by the method are further described, which take recording a test script in a smart phone and testing an application program on other smart phones as an example to explain:

firstly, opening a main interface of an automatic test script recording program arranged in the smart phone, referring to the diagram shown in FIG. 2, and then clicking a script recording button in FIG. 2 to jump to the script recording main interface shown in FIG. 3; the tester then clicks the additional button in fig. 3 to pop up the script additional interface shown in fig. 4, and after the tester can input the script name in the interface and click and determine the script name, the additional script is displayed in the script list of the script recording main interface. Clicking the record button on the right side of the newly added script item pops up the application selection interface shown in fig. 5. After the application program to be recorded is selected, the application program is automatically opened and enters a recording mode, and a tester can start recording test operation.

Secondly, after the test script is recorded, a suspension completion button at the upper right corner of the interface is clicked, the recording can be completed, the script recording main interface is returned, and the test script is automatically generated. Clicking the suspension canceling button can cancel the recording operation and return to the script recording main interface.

And thirdly, clicking an editing button of the script name list to display a script configuration interface shown in fig. 6, wherein script configuration information, which is script related information, can be configured on the interface. Clicking the script detail button will enter the script detail viewing interface shown in fig. 7, displaying the number of script detail steps and the order of the script at each step, the object of the operation and the type of the operation, clicking a certain script step entry, and displaying the script step detail viewing interface shown in fig. 8, which can further configure and edit the script at each step. The tester may also choose to configure the script according to default values without performing editing operations.

And fourthly, obtaining a final test script based on the configuration of the three steps, and then clicking an upload button on the script name list in the figure 3 to upload the recorded test script to a remote server for storage.

Fifthly, when the user needs to test the application programs on other smart phones, the user can click a script playback button in the main interface of the automatic recording program of the test scripts on other smart phones to enter the script playback interface shown in fig. 10, and click a script execution button of a certain script in a script list displayed on the script playback interface to start playback test operation, namely start the application program test flow. After the execution is completed, the script execution status flag will show success or failure. And clicking the mark, and displaying more detailed execution result information in the script execution information display area.

According to the test script recording method provided by the invention, a tester only needs to execute a function test flow of an application program once on the smart phone and record the function test flow of the application program into a fixed script format to form a test script of the application program, and then the test script is uploaded to a server for storage, so that when other smart phones test the application programs installed in the smart phones, the test script of the application program only needs to be downloaded from the server, and then the downloaded test script tests the application program; by adopting the process, when the test script is recorded, the smart phone can record the application program without being connected with a PC, so that the process is convenient and quick; meanwhile, the test script is uploaded to the server, so that other smart phones do not need to be connected with a PC (personal computer) when testing the application program, the downloaded test script can be used for testing the application program only by downloading the test script of the application program from the server, and the automation of testing the application program is greatly improved.

Furthermore, a tester can acquire each operation executed on an application program and element information on an interface displayed by the operation through a secondary development-based UI Automatographic viewer on one smart phone, and records a test script without using auxiliary tools such as a USB (universal serial bus) line and a computer. By transplanting and modifying the UIAutomatiorViewer, the invention can directly record the script at the mobile phone end without the help of a USB line and a PC end, can accurately identify the operation type of the user and each element of the mobile phone interface, and improves the convenience and the accuracy of recording the script.

In addition, the script information of each step is generated by default, and testers can edit the script information, wherein the script information comprises a sending sequence, an operation object, an operation type and the like. The request description, operation value, success key, failure key, timestamp type, and timestamp name are all selectively configurable. By utilizing the UI Automator frame, the recorded script can be directly played back at the test terminal without re-editing the script or considering the compatibility of the script, so that the workload of testers is greatly reduced, and the experience of the testers is improved.
