Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The first embodiment is as follows:

aiming at the problems of high test period, high test labor cost and inaccurate test result existing in the manual test of the set top box by a tester in the related technology, the embodiment provides a method for automatically realizing the test of the set top box, which comprises automatic operation test and log recording in the process of the automatic operation test; the automatic operation test mainly can automatically realize automatic switching of each page of the set top box and logic operation on each page, log recording is carried out on the automatic operation test process through logs, accurate test results can be obtained according to the log recording when needed, manual intervention is not needed in the whole test process, labor cost is greatly reduced, test efficiency is improved, conditions such as missing test in the manual test process can be avoided, and accuracy of the test results is guaranteed.

For convenience of understanding, the following description of the present embodiment is made with reference to the set-top box testing method shown in fig. 1 as an example, and please refer to fig. 1, which includes:

s101: the automatic operation test of the set-top box accessed to the network comprises the following steps: and automatically capturing each access interface on each page of the set top box accessed to the network, and automatically performing access processing on each access interface until all the access interfaces of all the pages are accessed.

It should be understood that the set-top box access network in the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, accessing an EPG environment. The set top box testing method provided by the embodiment is not limited to be applied to a set top box accessing a network, and is also applicable to testing of a set top box which is not accessed to the network and is in an offline environment.

It should be understood that the access interface on the page in the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, various access interfaces for implementing link access, implementing corresponding functions (e.g., downloading, setting, updating, etc.) or implementing a page link or various information links.

Certainly, in some application scenarios, when a specific function or a specific page of the set top box needs to be tested, only the specific page or the specific access interface may be obtained in S101 for performing an automatic test, and no test is performed on a page or an access interface other than the specific page or the specific access interface. In particular, the flexible configuration can be flexibly configured according to requirements, and it should be understood that the flexible test configuration is also within the coverage of the scheme.

In this embodiment, the home page that is normally displayed and stopped after the set-top box is started when accessing the network is referred to as the original home page of the set-top box.

In this embodiment, when automatically fetching each access interface on each page of the set-top box accessing the network, each access interface on the newly entered page may be fetched whenever the set-top box newly enters a page (i.e., a page that has not been entered before). That is, in this embodiment, when the set-top box enters the current page, it may be determined whether the current page is an unaccessed page, if so, the identification information of the access interfaces on the current page is captured one by one, and the captured identification information is stored in association with the page path of the current page, and the access state of the identification information is set to be unaccessed.

For example, in one example, crawling the identification information of access interfaces on the current page one by one may include, but is not limited to:

when the set top box enters the current page and determines that the current page is a page which is not entered, the access interfaces are sequentially selected one by one from the left upper corner of the current page through the analog navigation key control focus according to the sequence from left to right, and the identification information of the access interface currently selected by the focus is acquired until the identification information of all the access interfaces on the current page is acquired.

The simulated navigation keys in this embodiment may include, but are not limited to, left and right keys and up and down keys, and the focus may be controlled to move on the page to select a corresponding access interface by the left and right keys and the up and down keys. The focus in this embodiment resembles the cursor of a conventional mouse. In this embodiment, the display of the access interface currently selected for the focus on the page can also be flexibly set. For example, in some examples, the access interface currently selected by the focus may be displayed in any display manner that can be distinguished from other unselected access interfaces, such as but not limited to a lighting display, a zooming display, a floating display, or a frame-and-bold display.

For example, in an application scenario, please refer to fig. 2, it is assumed that an access interface a, an access interface B, an access interface C, and an access interface D exist on a certain page of the set top box, and the current focus is to select the access interface a on the left side, and the access interface a is displayed in a magnified manner to be distinguished from the access interface B, the access interface C, and the access interface D.

For another example, in another application scenario, please refer to fig. 3, it is assumed that an access interface a, an access interface B, an access interface C, and an access interface D exist on a certain page of the set top box, the current focus is to select the access interface B, and a frame area of the access interface B is displayed in a bold manner to be distinguished from the access interface a, the access interface C, and the access interface D.

In some application scenarios of this implementation example, an OK key may also be simulated, and when one access interface is selected in focus, access to the access interface is realized by triggering the OK key.

In addition, it should be understood that the identification information of the access interface captured in this embodiment may be any identification information that can uniquely distinguish the access interface on the page from other access interfaces. For example, in an example where the identification information may include, but is not limited to, extracting an image in a display area of the access interface as the identification information of the access interface, in this example, obtaining the identification information of the access interface currently selected by the focus on the page includes:

and intercepting an image in a current display area of the access interface currently selected by the focus on the page as the identification information of the access interface. For example, please refer to fig. 2, at this time, an image (which may be referred to as a focus image in this embodiment) in a current display area (i.e., an enlarged display area) of the access interface a is captured as the identification information of the access interface a; for another example, please refer to fig. 3, at this time, an image in the current display area (i.e., the area displayed in bold type) of the access interface B is captured as the identification information of the access interface B.

In the application scenario shown in fig. 2, when the set-top box first enters the page shown in fig. 2, for the page, the focus is controlled by the analog navigation key from the top left corner of the current page, and the identification information of the access interface currently selected by the focus is sequentially obtained in the order from left to right, the selection process is shown in fig. 4 until the identification information of all the access interfaces on the current page is obtained, and the formed picture database includes the correspondence table shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Of course, it should be understood that the selection order of the access interfaces on the page in the present embodiment is not limited to the order of the above examples, and can be flexibly set according to the requirement. For example, referring to fig. 5, assuming that there is an access interface A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H on the current page, when the identification information of the access interface currently selected by the focus is sequentially obtained in the order from left to right, the obtained order is access interface a → B → C → D → E → F → G → H. In other application scenarios of the embodiment, the obtaining order may also be access interface a → B → C → D → H → G → F → E. In other application scenarios, the access interfaces may be selected in a random order or other order until all access interfaces have been accessed.

In this embodiment, the manner of determining whether a certain access interface on the page is the access interface that has acquired the identification information may include, but is not limited to: acquiring identification information of the access interface, searching whether the same identification information exists in a picture database corresponding to the page, and if so, indicating that the access interface is the access interface which has acquired the identification information; otherwise, the access interface is the access interface which does not acquire the identification information on the page. In this embodiment, the image capturing and the image matching may be performed by, but not limited to, a screen capture saving module and a picture matching module. In this embodiment, the simulation of the navigation key and the OK key can be realized by, but not limited to, a key simulation function module.

In this embodiment, an exemplary manner of automatically performing access processing on each access interface until all the access interfaces of all the pages are accessed may include:

when determining that target identification information with an unaccessed access state exists in identification information stored in association with a page where the set top box is located, accessing an access interface corresponding to the target identification information, and updating the access state of the target identification information to be accessed;

when the access states of all identification information stored in association with the current page of the set top box are determined to be accessed and the current page of the set top box is not the original home page, controlling the set top box to enter the previous page of the current page, and repeating the steps;

and when the access states of all identification information stored in association with the current page of the set top box are determined to be accessed and the current page of the set top box is the original home page, indicating that all access interfaces of all pages are accessed.

S102: and logging the process of the automatic operation test.

In an example of this embodiment, the log may be performed on a selection process of an access interface performed by controlling a focus through a navigation key in the automatic operation test process, and the log may be performed on page script execution, page parsing, and the like in the access interface access process.

In an example of this embodiment, in order to improve the test pertinence and accuracy, logging the process of the automatic operation test may include:

storing error information generated in the automatic operation test process to generate an error log; the generated logs can be actively uploaded or displayed according to the requirements, or uploaded or displayed after the received call is executed, and the error logs can be uploaded or displayed in a centralized manner or preferentially during uploading or displaying; in some application scenarios, only the error log may be uploaded or displayed, and the other logs are not uploaded or displayed.

Additionally, to further aid in error localization and analysis, in some examples, the set-top box testing method may further comprise:

intercepting a corresponding display interface screenshot when an error occurs in the automatic operation test process, and storing the acquired display interface screenshot and an error log corresponding to the error in an associated manner; when the error log is uploaded or displayed, the screenshot of the display interface corresponding to the error log can be uploaded or displayed together; therefore, when error analysis is carried out, comprehensive analysis can be carried out by combining the log information and the corresponding screenshot of the display interface, and the efficiency and the accuracy of the error analysis can be improved.

Example two:

the present embodiment provides a set-top box testing apparatus, which may be disposed in a set-top box or disposed in a testing device for testing the set-top box, please refer to fig. 6, and includes:

the automatic test control module 601 is used for automatically capturing each access interface on each page of the set top box accessed to the network and automatically performing access processing on each access interface until all the access interfaces of all the pages are accessed; for a specific automatic test operation process, please refer to the above embodiments, which are not described herein.

In some examples of this embodiment, the automatic test control module 601 may include, but is not limited to:

the key simulation function module: the set-top box is accessed to an IPTV EPG environment, can trigger a browser to analyze and execute page script logic through keys to display services, and can simulate real key operation of a user through the key simulation function module;

in an embodiment, the key simulation function module may be provided with basic function outputs: a menu key, a return key, a navigation key in the up, down, left and right directions, an OK key and the like, and log saving is performed aiming at errors in the key pressing process.

A screen grabbing and saving module: the device is used for capturing and outputting the image with the size of the appointed position, and storing the image as the picture, or directly capturing the image and storing the image as the picture on the current display interface.

Matching the images with the template: and comparing whether the two pictures are the same or not, wherein the comparison comprises the comparison of factors such as the size of the picture, the data content of the picture and the like, so that whether the identification information of a certain identification interface is the accessed identification interface or the identification interface from which the identification information is extracted can be determined.

The recording module 602 is configured to perform log recording on a process of the automatic operation test, and for a specific recording process, reference is made to the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.

In some examples of this embodiment, the logging module 602 may include a log output module: the method is used for storing the set top box log, recording the logs of a key pressing process, page script execution, page analysis and the like, and simultaneously recording and generating an error log aiming at errors occurring in the operation process.

Based on the set-top box testing device provided by the embodiment, a user can press a direction key of a remote controller through simulation, as long as the user presses a key, the focus can be triggered to move certainly, the coordinate position of the moved focus can be obtained in a browser, and an access interface corresponding to the coordinate position of the focus can be captured, so that each page can generate a picture database of the page, and each access interface only has one picture (called as a focus picture in the embodiment) corresponding to the access interface in the picture database of the page; the focus picture captured by pressing a key once on a page is compared in a picture database of the page to determine whether the focus picture is an access interface which has acquired identification information or an access interface which has been accessed, all access interfaces in each page can be acquired through logic judgment, and access is performed on all the access interfaces one by one, so that the whole set of templates can be traversed, and in the whole process, log capture operation is matched to complete the test of the set top box.

For convenience of understanding, in the present embodiment, a set top box test scenario of a specific application scenario is described as an example, please refer to fig. 7, which includes the following steps:

s701: and after the IPTV EPG environment is accessed from the set-top box, acquiring a normally displayed and stopped page as an original home page, marking the page as URL _ HomeEPG, and starting to perform automatic test from the page.

S702: and acquiring the current page where the set top box is located, and setting the current page as URL 1.

S703: determining whether the current page URL1 is an incoming page, if yes, proceeding to S704; otherwise, go to S705.

S704: and acquiring focus pictures of all access interfaces on the current page URL1 for associated storage.

In this example, the up, down, left and right direction keys are triggered by the key simulation function module, the focus is controlled to traverse all the access interfaces of the URL1 of the current page, the focus picture of each access interface is obtained and marked as not accessed, and a data relationship is generated: page URL 1-focus picture-visited state (not visited).

Meanwhile, when all the access interfaces of the page are traversed by the direction key, log storage is needed for the wrong log.

By pressing a key to obtain the focus picture of all access interfaces of the current page URL1, an exemplary algorithm is described as follows:

each time the direction key is pressed, focus movement and page refreshing are generated, for example, in an example, a refreshing range may be composed of two minimum rectangles, one rectangle is a rectangle corresponding to the access interface at the position where the focus is located last time, the second rectangle is a rectangle corresponding to the access interface where the focus is located after the focus is moved, a second rectangle coordinate is obtained, a screen corresponding to the rectangle coordinate is captured, and a picture of the access interface is obtained and recorded as a focus picture.

Traversing all the access interfaces of the page by pressing a key, similar to a "progressive scan", is described as follows:

A) entering a current page for the first time, moving a focus to the leftmost upper corner through a key (realized by pressing a left direction key and an up direction key, for example, firstly pressing the left direction key until new focus refreshing cannot be generated, then pressing the up direction key until new focus refreshing cannot be generated), acquiring a focus picture of an access interface selected by the focus at present, recording the corresponding relation between a page path and the focus picture, marking as not-accessed, and indicating that the focus picture only belongs to the page path; b) turning to;

B) pressing a 'right' direction key can grab a focus picture of a new access interface selected after the focus is moved to the right, and compares whether the current focus picture is stored in an image database of the page: if the focus picture is saved, the focus on the right direction key is traversed, the focus needs to be returned to the leftmost focus, the next row needs to be entered, the focus is traversed, and the next row enters C);

if the focus picture is a new picture, saving the focus picture, and turning to B);

C) pressing down a direction key to judge whether a new focus picture is grabbed, mainly judging whether the focus of the down direction key changes, and if so, judging whether the grabbed focus picture is the new focus picture: if the focus is not changed or the new focus picture is stored, the lower direction key is not focused, the progressive scanning mode is finished, and the process is finished; if the focus has variation, at the same time, the focus picture is intercepted as a new picture, the focus picture is saved, and the process is shifted to B).

S705: inquiring whether a focus picture with an unvisited access state (namely, an accessed access interface) still exists on the current page URL1, if so, going to S706; otherwise, go to S707.

S706: triggering an OK key through a key module, triggering the service logic of the inaccessible access interface, and marking the focus picture corresponding to the access interface under the page URL1 as accessed.

S707: whether page jump occurs or not, if so, turning to S702; otherwise, go to S705.

The business logic for triggering the OK button to trigger the focus can include, but is not limited to, the following two results:

the first method is that only JavaScript or null logic is executed, and page jumping does not occur;

the second triggers the page to jump to a new URL, setting the jump to the new URL 2.

For the first, still mark the focus of the page as visited, go to step S705;

for the second, the step of S702 will be performed for the new page URL 2.

S708: in the current page URL1, all of the pages corresponding to the focus of the page have been traversed. Judging whether the current page URL1 is the original home page URL _ HomeEPG or not, if so, turning to S710; otherwise, go to S709.

S709: go back to the previous page (labeled URL0) of the current page URL1 and then go to S702.

S710: all pages of the set-top box (in this example, all EPG pages) are traversed and the test is finished. Subsequent users or developers can perform processing such as problem phenomenon backtracking and positioning according to the log and the stored pictures.

It should be understood that, in this embodiment, in addition to the test flow shown in fig. 7, a step-by-step page test mode may also be adopted for testing the set top box, that is, after the access tests on all the access interfaces on each page on one step of page are performed one by one, the pages below the step of page are entered one by one for testing, and so on, until the access interfaces on each page at the lowest step are tested.
