The processor of the computer device reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium, and the processor executes the computer instructions, so that the computer device executes the different embodiments and the combination of the embodiments provided in the various alternative implementations of the game testing method.

The game testing method provided by the embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the electronic device shown in fig. 2, before the game testing method provided by the invention is described, firstly, the defects of the related technologies are described, and with the requirement that the user has higher and higher exquisite degree on the hand-game picture, more and more hand-game products developed by relying on the illusion Engine 4 with strong picture advantages, namely the Unreal Engine 4, are provided. In order to ensure the performance of the game, game production companies need to invest a large amount of resources in the development process of the game to execute relevant game tests. Such as load testing, power consumption testing, smoke tests for different versions, memory monitoring, and crash tests for specific scenarios, etc., to continually detect and optimize game performance through various types of game testing.

In order to ensure high quality and high efficiency of game testing, many game automation testing tools are produced on the market, such as an automation testing tool Airtest and an automation testing tool GAutomator, which can provide an automation testing frame of a game for a tester to complete part of game testing contents. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is an exemplary diagram of an integrated development environment for writing an automated test script of an auxiliary game, which is an integrated development environment attached to a game automated test framework Airtest. The main interface of the environment is roughly divided into three columns, the upper half part of the left column displays a common operation shortcut menu, and the common operation shortcut menu can be called when a test script is written. The lower half of the left column is used to display the tree structure of the user interface of the test object.

The existing game automation test scheme has the following problems. 1) The automatic test case of the design game needs the tester to compile the test code, has higher requirement to the tester, needs the tester to have certain programming basis, otherwise can't be competent in the work of compiling the automatic test case of the game. Furthermore, because the automatic test case of the game is compiled by codes, a tester with a certain programming basis is needed to maintain the automatic test case in the later period, and the maintenance difficulty and the use cost are increased.

2) For the illusion engine, the UI operation control can be obtained only based on an image recognition mode, a certain error may exist in an actual result, and meanwhile, the existing scheme is an automatic test based on the UI, related functions of operation playback in a battle are lacked, and the accuracy of the test is affected due to the fact that the test is incomplete.

3) The automatic test case of the game is different from the common automatic test case, and has higher dependence on a test framework, for example, an automatic test script of the game written based on an Airtest automatic test framework cannot run compatibly under an unknown Engine 4 automatic test framework. If the test frame is replaced after the automatic test case of the game is compiled, the original automatic test script needs to be rewritten in a large quantity.

In order to solve the above problem, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an optional flowchart of a game testing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and it can be understood that the steps shown in fig. 4 can be executed by various electronic devices running a game testing apparatus, for example, various game devices with a game testing apparatus, wherein a dedicated terminal with a game testing apparatus can be packaged in the terminal 101-1 shown in fig. 1 to execute corresponding software modules in the game testing apparatus shown in the previous fig. 2.

In some shooting games at a mobile terminal, referring to fig. 12, a user can control a virtual gun held by a virtual object to shoot in a game scene provided by game match, and the virtual object of an enemy is killed, so as to win the game match. In the front-end schematic diagram shown in fig. 12, a user interface may be displayed, where the user interface includes a person-name view screen for observing the virtual environment from a person-name view of a virtual object, and the virtual object holds a virtual item; the virtual prop function is matched with the type of the virtual object, and the user interface also comprises a game playback control component; the virtual object interacts with different injury objects through the virtual prop; and controlling the playback of the change of the corresponding virtual object in the display user interface in the game process through the game playback control component. The replay process can be used for meeting the requirement that game players share a game single game, assisting the reproduction of a client program in the test process, facilitating the check of a user, facilitating the performance test of a developer on the game, positioning bugs in the game and the like.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the injury control component is triggered to control the virtual prop to attack a corresponding injury object in the display user interface, so as to enable the virtual object in the display user interface to attack the injury object; or, the virtual prop is controlled to launch defense on a corresponding injury object in the display user interface through the trigger injury control component, so that the virtual object in the display user interface defends the attack launched by the injury object.

In some embodiments of the invention, the virtual object may also be a digitized object operable by the computer device, such as a virtual character in a game scene. The controlled virtual object refers to a virtual object that can be operated by the current end user. The virtual interactive scene is a scene which is provided for a virtual object and can be interacted, and can be a two-dimensional interactive scene or a three-dimensional interactive scene. For example, an environment is provided for two parties to play against each other in a game. The interactive instruction is used for controlling the controlled virtual object to execute corresponding action. The generation of the interactive instruction can be generated by receiving the click operation of a keyboard or a mouse, or by detecting the sliding or click operation of a touch screen, and can be adjusted according to different game use environments, and certainly for the same game process, a matched interactive instruction generation mode (an interactive instruction is sent out through a control component of the touch screen or an interactive instruction is sent out through an external device of a terminal) can be selected according to the use habits of a user, wherein the interactive instruction is the interactive operation initiated by the user through an input device and is used for controlling a controlled virtual object to execute corresponding actions. The input device may be a touch layer covered on a display screen, a key, a track ball or a touch pad arranged on a casing of the computer device, or an external keyboard, a touch pad or a mouse. That is to say, the initiation of the interactive instruction may be an operation initiated by the user through the keyboard, an interactive operation triggered by a click operation of the touch screen, or an interactive operation triggered by other manners, and the operation of the interactive instruction is not limited here. The interactive action refers to an action which is controlled to be executed by the controlled virtual object and corresponds to the skill identification. The skill identification is used to uniquely identify a skill, and each skill corresponds to a corresponding performance action. And recording the effects of different events executed by the virtual object in the virtual environment through the object model function matched with the object model, thereby recording each operation of the user in the game process.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the interactive instruction may also be generated by detecting a gesture of the user, for example, in a three-dimensional interactive scene, the interactive instruction may be generated according to a given gesture of the user. Skill identification is used to uniquely identify a skill. Many skills are often available in a game scenario, including attack skills and avoidance skills, each of which corresponds to a skill identification. The interactive instruction refers to interactive operation initiated by a user and is used for controlling the controlled virtual object to execute corresponding interactive action. The interaction comprises attack interaction, evasion interaction and the like, wherein the attack can be divided into short-distance attack and long-distance attack. In the process, the operation on the virtual object is relatively single, mainly involving click and drag operations, and the drag is also related to the press-and-lift time interval and the position difference through the key click type including press trigger, lift trigger, press lift, precise click and the like. Therefore, the operation of the recorded and played players is divided into three types of pressing, lifting and touch movement on the slateApplication level, the operation modes of all players in the hall can be covered, the subsequent trigger logic is consistent with the original logic, and the event dispatching processing in the assembly is called.
