Background

Intelligent home appliances, that is, home appliances capable of networking, are popular with more and more users because they can be remotely operated through mobile phones and the like. The intelligent home appliance is generally additionally provided with an intelligent module based on the existing home appliance. In the related art, when testing an app of an intelligent home appliance (i.e., an application program for operating the home appliance, which is generally installed on a mobile phone of a user), a tester generally needs to manually operate the intelligent home appliance to enable the intelligent home appliance to enter a network configuration state, and only after the network configuration is successful, the next test can be performed. In addition, when the app of the existing intelligent household electrical appliance is tested, the intelligent household electrical appliance is connected with the interfaces of the terminals such as the mobile phone, and because the intelligent household electrical appliance is large in general size, a large occupied area is usually required for placing the intelligent household electrical appliance to be tested, so that the intelligent household electrical appliance is high in testing workload and high in cost.

Therefore, how to reduce the test cost and the test workload of the home appliance is a problem to be solved.

An embodiment of a first aspect of the present application provides a method for testing a home appliance, which is used for a test device of the home appliance, and the home appliance is configured with a home appliance module. The testing device can communicate with the interactive terminal, and an application program for controlling the household appliance is installed on the interactive terminal. The method for testing the household electrical appliance comprises the following steps: the target interface is configured as an interface for communicating with the home appliance module, and when the home appliance module is connected to the target interface, the home appliance module can communicate with the testing device; controlling the interactive terminal to operate the application program so as to send out an instruction for controlling the household electrical appliance; acquiring an instruction received by a household appliance module from a target interface; in response to the instruction, operation of the home device is simulated.

According to the method for testing the household electrical appliance, before testing, the testing device, the interactive terminal provided with the app (application program) for controlling the intelligent household electrical appliance and the household electrical appliance module are well connected, so that communication between the devices can be normally conducted. Specifically, the testing device and the matched interaction terminal can be well connected through a wireless network, bluetooth and the like. The household appliance module can be connected to the appointed interface through the serial interface. When the household appliance needs to be tested, information of a target interface is acquired according to input information of a user, then the target interface is determined based on the acquired information of the target interface, and then the target interface is configured as an interface for communication with the household appliance module. Thus, after the household appliance module is connected to the target interface, the household appliance module can communicate with the testing device. The testing device can simulate the operation of the household appliance, namely, the testing device is provided with the household appliance simulation program, so that the testing device can respond according to the received instruction after receiving the instruction from the target interface, and the operation of the household appliance is simulated. Specifically, the test procedure is as follows: the testing device automatically operates the interactive terminal, sends out an instruction for controlling the household electrical appliance (mainly sent to the household electrical appliance module), and after the sent control instruction is received by the household electrical appliance module, the control instruction is sent to the testing device through the target interface by the household electrical appliance module, and after the testing device receives the instruction from the target interface, the testing device responds according to the received instruction, so that the operation of the household electrical appliance is simulated in a remote control mode, and the testing of the intelligent module and the app of the intelligent household electrical appliance is realized. According to the scheme, the testing device can automatically operate the interactive terminal to realize the simulation operation of the household electrical appliance, so that the operation of a user on the household electrical appliance through the interactive terminal is simulated, and the intelligent testing of the intelligent module and the app of the household electrical appliance is realized. In the testing process, no human participation is needed, so that the testing of the household appliance is simpler and more intelligent.

Furthermore, the testing method simulates the work of the household electrical appliance by the testing device, so that the household electrical appliance does not need to be placed in a testing place, and the testing place only needs to be provided with a small amount of space for placing the household electrical appliance modules, so that the space required by the testing place is obviously reduced, and the testing cost is reduced.

Furthermore, in existing solutions, it is often necessary to customize a corresponding test solution for each app of the smart home device.

According to the technical scheme, the automatic network distribution process of the household electrical appliance can be simulated, so that the network distribution function of the household electrical appliance is tested. The method comprises the following specific steps: the testing device starts the application program first, and then sends a distribution network starting instruction to the interactive terminal so as to operate the interactive terminal to open a distribution network interface of the application program. And then the testing device verifies whether the distribution network interface meets the requirements, after the requirements are met, the control interaction terminal sends a hot spot opening instruction, the household appliance module receives the instruction and then sends the instruction to the testing device, and then the testing device simulates household appliances and opens a hot spot switch so that the household appliances can be found, and subsequent distribution network operation is performed. After the interactive terminal finds the information of the household electrical appliance through searching, the testing device can operate the interactive terminal to simulate the network distribution operation of the household electrical appliance until the network distribution is completed. By the method, the whole automatic distribution network test is realized, the whole test process is free from artificial participation, and the efficiency and the frequency of the automatic test are improved.
