Abstract

The present application discloses a test method and apparatus for an application, an electronic device, and a storage medium, relates to the field of test technologies, and may be applied to the fields of artificial intelligence and big data technologies. A specific solution includes: obtaining, from a target APP, a first recommended item for being selected, where the target APP is an APP of interest to a target user; triggering the target APP to open a first sub-page corresponding to the first recommended item for being selected when the first recommended item for being selected matches target information of interest, where the target information of interest is information of interest to the target user; and determining a test result for the target APP based on a matching degree between a first target recommended item and the target information of interest, where the first target recommended item includes a recommended item generated by the target APP after the first sub-page is opened on the target APP. According to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the use of an app by a user may be simulated, so that a recommendation effect of the app is automatically tested.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for testing an application, comprising:
obtaining, from a target application, a first recommended item for being selected, wherein the target application is an application of interest to a target user;
in response to the first recommended item for being selected matching target information of interest, triggering the target application to open a first sub-page corresponding to the first recommended item for being selected, wherein the target information of interest is information of interest to the target user; and
determining a test result for the target application based on a matching degree between a first target recommended item and the target information of interest, wherein the first target recommended item includes a first recommended item generated by the target application after the first sub-page is opened on the target application.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
triggering a terminal to be installed with the target application; and
triggering, according to a first preset time condition, the terminal to open the target application.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after triggering the target application to open the first sub-page corresponding to the first recommended item for being selected, the method further comprises:
triggering the target application to perform a specified operation on the first sub-page,
wherein the first target recommended item further includes a recommended item generated by the target application after the specified operation is performed by the target application.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, from an associated application, a second recommended item for being selected, wherein the associated application is an application associated with the target application; and
in response to the second recommended item for being selected matching the target information of interest, triggering the associated application to open a second sub-page corresponding to the second recommended item for being selected,
wherein the first target recommended item further includes a second recommended item generated by the target application after the second sub-page is opened on the associated application.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
triggering a terminal to be installed with the associated application; and
triggering, according to a second preset time condition, the terminal to open the associated application.

6. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
obtaining query information from the associated application;
triggering the target application to search for the query information; and
determining a test result for the target application based on a matching degree between a second target recommended item and the query information, wherein the second target recommended item includes a third recommended item generated by the target application after the query information is searched for on the target application.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the target user from preset user models, wherein the preset user models include applications of interest and information of interest corresponding to a plurality of users with different attributes, respectively; and
determining, from the preset user models, the target application and target information of interest corresponding to the target user.

8. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprises instructions for:
obtaining, from a target application, a first recommended item for being selected, wherein the target application is an application of interest to a target user;
in response to the first recommended item for being selected matching target information of interest, triggering the target application to open a first sub-page corresponding to the first recommended item for being selected, wherein the target information of interest is information of interest to the target user; and
determining a test result for the target application based on a matching degree between a first target recommended item and the target information of interest, wherein the first target recommended item includes a first recommended item generated by the target application after the first sub-page is opened on the target application.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
triggering a terminal to be installed with the target application; and
triggering, according to a first preset time condition, the terminal to open the target application.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
triggering the target application to perform a specified operation on the first sub-page after triggering the target application to open the first sub-page corresponding to the first recommended item for being selected,
wherein the first target recommended item further includes a recommended item generated by the target application after the specified operation is performed by the target application.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
obtaining, from an associated application, a second recommended item for being selected, wherein the associated application is an application associated with the target application; and
in response to the second recommended item for being selected matching the target information of interest, triggering the associated application to open a second sub-page corresponding to the second recommended item for being selected,
wherein the first target recommended item further includes a second recommended item generated by the target application after the second sub-page is opened on the associated application.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
triggering a terminal to be installed with the associated application; and
triggering, according to a second preset time condition, the terminal to open the associated application.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
obtaining query information from the associated application;
triggering the target application to search for the query information; and
determining a test result for the target application based on a matching degree between a second target recommended item and the query information, wherein the second target recommended item includes a third recommended item generated by the target application after the query information is searched for on the target application.

14. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
determining the target user from preset user models, wherein the preset user models include applications of interest and information of interest corresponding to a plurality of users with different attributes, respectively; and
determining, from the preset user models, the target application and target information of interest corresponding to the target user.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device
