In the development iteration process of the video player, if a code problem occurs, the play-starting performance of the video player is reduced, and the play-starting time of the video player is prolonged. The playing start time of the video player is the time spent by the video player from the time when the user instruction is acquired to the time when the video is played for the user. When the play-up performance of a video player decreases, it often results in an extension of the play-up time of the video player by several tens to several hundreds milliseconds. The degradation in the play-out performance of a video player is difficult to detect in Quality Assurance (QA) tests, and is often not easily noticeable before it comes online. After the video player is released online, the drop of the playing performance will affect the user experience and become an online accident.

An aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for testing the play-out performance of a video player.

Referring to fig. 2, a method 200 for testing the launch performance of a video player according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes:

step S210: acquiring the test play starting time of a video player to be released;

step S220: acquiring the historical playing starting time of a previous version video player of the video player to be released; and

step S230: and acquiring a test result related to the play-starting performance of the video player to be released based on the test play-starting time and the historical play-starting time.

According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, before a video player is released (online), a test result related to the play-starting performance of the video player to be released is obtained based on the test play-starting time of the video player to be released (new version) and the historical play-starting time of the video player of the previous version, so that an online accident caused by the fact that the play-starting performance of the video player is degraded after the video player is online is avoided. Meanwhile, if the test result shows that the play-starting performance of the video player to be released is reduced, the test result with the degraded play-starting performance can be judged to be caused by the code problem of the video player to be released, and the test result is irrelevant to the code change online, the experiment online and the like of other partners, so that the investigation range and the difficulty of the reasons causing the degradation of the play-starting performance of the video player are reduced.

According to some embodiments, the video players include video players based on in-place play scenes and video players based on video floor page scenes. The in-place playing scene may be, for example, based on obtaining an instruction sent by the user by clicking a play button of the video player, performing video playing. The video landing page scene may be, for example, in the video playing process based on the feed stream, based on obtaining an instruction sent by the user by clicking the video module, entering the video landing page to play the video.

In some embodiments, in step S210, the test start playing time of the video player to be distributed on each of the plurality of test devices is obtained, and the average start playing time is obtained according to the test start playing time of each of the plurality of test devices, and the average start playing time is used as the test start playing time of the video player to be distributed. According to some embodiments, in step S220, the historical playing time of the online version video player on each of the plurality of playing devices is obtained, and based on the historical playing time on each of the plurality of playing devices, a historical playing time average value is obtained, and the historical playing time average value is used as the starting playing time of the previous version video player.

It should be noted that, the term "test device" and the term "playing device" in the present disclosure both refer to hardware devices that can be used to install and run a video player installed thereon to implement a video playing function, for example, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a computer, or a tablet computer.

In some embodiments, the step S210 of obtaining the test play-up time of the video player to be released includes: acquiring the test start playing time of the video player to be released on the test equipment, wherein the step S220 of acquiring the historical start playing time of a previous version video player of the video player to be released includes: and acquiring the historical play starting time corresponding to the test equipment.

And acquiring a test result based on the historical playing starting time corresponding to the test equipment where the video player to be released is located. The hardware condition of the testing equipment where the video player to be released is located is considered in the testing result, so that the hardware influence of the equipment for collecting the test start playing time of the video player is eliminated, and the obtained testing result is accurate. Meanwhile, since the historical play start time corresponding to the test equipment is obtained, in step S210, the test play start time of the video player to be released can be used as the test play start time for obtaining the test result only by obtaining the test play start time of the video player to be released on one test equipment, so that the test process is simple, and the data processing amount is small.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, acquiring the play-up time of the video player to be released on the test device includes:

step S310: acquiring a plurality of video playing starting times of the video player to be issued on the test equipment; and

step S320: and acquiring the test play-starting time based on the plurality of video play-starting times.

And acquiring a plurality of video play-starting times of a video player to be released on the test equipment, wherein each video play-starting time in the plurality of video play-starting times is the play-starting time of the video player to be released for playing the corresponding video. Acquiring the test start playing time based on the plurality of video start playing times, for example, by acquiring an average value of the plurality of video start playing times as the test start playing time; accurate test play-out time data

According to some embodiments, when a tester manually clicks the video player to be released to send an instruction for acquiring a first video, the tester acquires the first video from the video player of the version to be released, and simultaneously acquires the video playing start time corresponding to the first video; and repeating the foregoing steps to obtain a plurality of video attack times corresponding to the plurality of videos.

According to other embodiments, in response to a received test instruction for testing the play-out performance of a video player, a video acquisition instruction is sent to the video player to be distributed, so that the video player to be distributed can acquire video play-out time corresponding to one or more videos while playing the one or more videos. The video playing start time corresponding to the one or more videos is obtained by sending the video obtaining instruction to the video player to be issued, so that the process of obtaining the video playing start time is automatically completed based on the test instruction, the test process is further simplified, and the labor is saved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the obtaining the average playing time corresponding to the test device includes:

step S410: obtaining a video start-up time of the previous version of the video player on each of a plurality of playback devices, each playback device having a corresponding playback device model, and the playback device model further corresponding to a corresponding hardware performance score, and wherein the test device corresponds to one of the plurality of playback device models;

step S420: acquiring a corresponding relation between the model of the playing device and the historical playing start time based on the hardware performance score and the corresponding video playing start time of each playing device in the plurality of playing devices; and

step S430: and acquiring the historical play-starting time corresponding to the test equipment based on the corresponding relation between the play equipment model and the historical play-starting time and the play equipment model corresponding to the test equipment.

In some embodiments, in step S410, the plurality of playback devices are a plurality of test devices, and the video play-up time on each of the plurality of test devices by obtaining the video player of the previous version is taken as the video play-up time corresponding to each of the plurality of playback devices.

In some embodiments, step S410, the previous version video player is a published video player, and the obtaining the video play-up time of the previous version video player at each of the plurality of devices includes: and acquiring the video playing starting time of the prior version video player on line.

Because the prior version video player is a published video player, online data acquisition can be carried out on the published video player online, so that the video playing start time of the prior version video player on each playing device in a plurality of playing devices is obtained, and the method and the process for obtaining the historical playing start time of the online version video player are simple. For example, the playing start time of the video of the previous version video player is obtained by obtaining the data report about the playing performance of the previous version video player.

It should be noted that the terms "on line", "on line" or "on line" referred to in this disclosure all refer to that the distributed video player is in the network, and obtains its function through the network or makes it implement the function through the network.

It should also be understood that the terms "video attack time", "historical attack time", or "test attack time" referred to in this disclosure each correspond to the attack time of the player from the receipt of the user instruction to the start of playing the video position. The terminology before "attack time" is for distinction only and not for limitation, and the terminology before "attack time" may also be used to employ other terminology, such as "first", "second", etc.

According to some embodiments, in step S410, the model of the playing device is a hardware model on which the player implements the video playing function, which includes, but is not limited to, a manufacturer of the playing device, a hardware vendor of the playing device, and so on.

According to some embodiments, in step S410, the hardware performance of the playback device is scored based on preset hardware scoring criteria. For example, the hardware scoring device with preset hardware scoring standard scores the hardware of the playback device, or correspondingly grades the hardware of the playback device to obtain the hardware performance score of the playback device.

In some embodiments, in step S420, by obtaining a variation curve of the video play-up time along with the model of the playing device, a playing device model-historical play-up time correspondence relationship is obtained. According to some embodiments, the distributed video player is subjected to online data acquisition through online to obtain the device model-historical play-up time corresponding relation. For example, by obtaining a data report about playing performance of the published video player, the device model-historical playing time correspondence is obtained.

In some embodiments, in step S430, based on the device model corresponding to the testing device, the historical play start time corresponding to the device is obtained from the play device model-historical play start time correspondence.

Based on the results of step S110 and step S120, in step S130, a test result related to the play-up performance of the video player to be distributed is obtained. In some embodiments, the test result includes an evaluation index of the play-up performance of the video player to be distributed, such as excellent, good, and bad. In some embodiments, the test result includes a qualitative evaluation of whether the play-up performance of the video player to be distributed is reduced from the play-up performance of its previous version, for example, the play-up performance is degraded or the play-up performance is not degraded.

In some embodiments, method 100 further comprises determining a test result.

As shown in fig. 5, in the method 100, determining the test result includes:

step S510: determining the test result as a play-out performance degradation in response to determining that the test play-out time exceeds the average play-out time by a preset value; and

step S520: and outputting the test result.

When the obtained test result is that the play-starting performance of the video player to be released is degraded, the test result is output, so that the test result can appear in a visual mode to remind a developer that the video player to be released has a code problem and cannot be on-line, and the test process is further intelligentized. Meanwhile, when the test start broadcasting time exceeds the average start broadcasting time by a preset value, the test result is determined as the start broadcasting performance deterioration, and a space is reserved for the test start broadcasting time for determining the start broadcasting performance deterioration. The method avoids the test result being wrongly determined as the play-out performance deterioration caused by the fact that the test play-out time exceeds the average play-out time due to other reasons such as hardware of the test equipment.

According to some embodiments, the preset value is 50 ms. In one example, in step S210, the obtained test start-up time is 1200ms, in step S220, the obtained historical start-up time is 1000ms, and in step S510, it is determined that the test start-up time 1200ms exceeds the historical start-up time 1000ms by 200ms, which is greater than the preset value of 20ms, and thus the test result is determined to be the start-up performance degradation.

In some embodiments, in step S520, alarm information is output in the form of a log file to output the test result of the broadcast performance degradation. In other embodiments, the alarm information is presented in the form of a dialog box to output the test result of the broadcast performance degradation.

In some embodiments, method 100 further comprises obtaining a code question.

As shown in fig. 6, in the method 100, acquiring the code problem includes:

step S610: acquiring test play start information data of the video player to be released; and

step S620: and responding to the determination that the test result is the play-starting performance degradation, and acquiring the code problem of the video player to be issued based on the test play-starting information data.

When the starting playing performance is degraded as a test result, the code problem of the video player of the current version is further obtained by obtaining the test starting playing information data of the video player to be released, and because the reason for the degradation of the starting playing performance of the video player is examined under the online condition (before the video player is released), the interference factors (code change of other partners, online experiment and the like) in the examination process are few, and the reason for the degradation of the starting playing performance of the video player can be accurately examined. Meanwhile, according to some embodiments, the test device for testing the play-out performance of the video player is used for responding to the fact that the play-out performance is degraded after the test result is determined, and acquiring the code problem of the video player to be issued, so that the test process is further automated, and the manpower is reduced.

In some embodiments, the test launch information data comprises at least one of: prefetch information data, decode information data, render information data, start-up data, administration information data, service information data, and environment information data.

According to some embodiments, prefetching the information data comprises: the pre-fetching url is set by the video player to be issued; whether the video player to be issued is prefetched in the playing starting process or not; if it has been prefetched, whether the video player to be released uses a prefetch file, the size of the prefetched video header, etc.

According to some embodiments, decoding the information data comprises: a decoding mode (such as hard decoding or soft decoding) used by the video player to be released in the process of playing the video; time-consuming information of the video player to be released at each decoding stage, and the like.

According to some embodiments, the rendering information data comprises: which rendering mode is used by the video player to be released; whether the rendering layer is created completely in the rendering process, whether the rendering layer is visible and the like.

According to some embodiments, the start-up data comprises: starting a broadcast url of the video player to be released; the configuration information set for the kernel in the playing starting process of the video player to be released; playing state change data in the starting playing process of the video player to be released; and the first frame callback information of the video player to be released in the starting playing process, and the like.

According to some embodiments, the multiplexing information comprises: whether the video player to be released starts address (or link) multiplexing or not; the multiplexing inner core identification of the video player to be issued; or the state data of the multiplexing kernel of the video player to be released, and the like.

According to some embodiments, the service information data comprises: whether the video player to be delivered is the CDN service or the PCDN service;

according to some embodiments, the environment information data comprises: the current network environment of the video player to be released, the network speed and the like.

According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the step S620 of obtaining the code problem of the video player based on the test launch information data includes:

step S710: acquiring a corresponding relation between test broadcast starting information data and a code problem; and

step S720: and acquiring the code problem corresponding to the test broadcast starting information data based on the corresponding relation.

And acquiring a code problem causing the degradation of the play-starting performance based on the corresponding relation between the test play-starting information data and the code problem, so that the mode of checking the code problem is simple, and the efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the code problem is obtained by the testing device for testing the play-starting performance of the video player based on the corresponding relationship between the test play-starting information data and the code problem, so that the process of obtaining the code problem is automated, the automation of the testing process is further improved, and the manpower is reduced.

In some embodiments, in step S710, the correspondence between the test start-up information data and the code problem is obtained according to the correspondence between the test start-up information data and the code problem summarized by the developer in the process of developing the video player.

In some embodiments, in step S720, a code question corresponding to the test start-up information data is acquired by the testing apparatus for testing the start-up performance of the video player based on the correspondence acquired in step S710. According to some embodiments, when the prefetch information data in the test launch information data includes a prefetch url and the current prefetch url is not prefetched, the code problem is determined to be a prefetch url failure. According to some embodiments, when the multiplexing information data of the test launch information data includes the multiplexed player core identification and the status data of the multiplexed player core is not successfully multiplexed, determining that the code problem sets an error for the multiplexed core.

In some embodiments, after step S720 is completed, outputting the code question is further included.
