WeTest takeaway

When AI has become a driving force to improve industrial efficiency in various industries, many people begin to wonder when this intelligent “uav” will be really landed in the mobile application test. At this year’s ChinaJoy, Tencent WeTest provided an answer.

With the help of AI technology, the efficiency and identification accuracy of problem identification and test drive are greatly improved under the guarantee of the original quality. The deep compatibility testing service hits the bottom price directly, requiring only 30% of the original market price, and all mobile application developers can enjoy the service. In the field of testing, Tencent WeTest will unleash the universal power of AI!

AI reduces the cost of testing by getting rid of human combat

Compatibility testing often relies on a large number of devices and specialized technical personnel. As Android becomes increasingly fragmented, the cost threshold is rising rapidly.

Back in 2014, there were more than 10,000 Android devices around the world, and now there are even more

Fragmentation of Android is not only reflected in different models and brands, but also in different subdivision dimensions such as system version and resolution. In order to achieve complete product adaptation, developers have to bear high human, material and time costs. According to the official calculation of Tencent WeTest, it costs up to one million yuan in manpower and more than three million yuan in equipment to realize the compatibility test with full equipment coverage, which is the main reason for the high price of the deep compatibility test service on the market.

However, if compatibility tests are not performed properly, problems such as installation, pull-up failure, flash rollback, and UI exceptions will greatly affect user experience. It is estimated that more than 20% of users will uninstall applications directly due to compatibility problems, and the consequences are self-evident.

With the emergence of high-configuration models, UI anomalies and other display problems account for a significant proportion of compatibility problems

The good news is that with the exploration of Tencent WeTest in AI application, compatible testing service has completely said goodbye to “repetitive labor” under human individual combat in terms of test drive and problem identification. At present, AI technology has been applied to automated exploration testing in compatibility testing, as well as “difficult checkpoints” such as UI problem identification such as abnormal image and flow-screen detection. By cooperating with a small amount of manpower, AI can reduce labor costs and improve test quality and efficiency.

On the one hand, UI problem detection has always been a challenge in the compatibility testing industry. In the face of UI problems that require a lot of manual investigation and judgment, Tencent WeTest adds automatic AI image clustering algorithm to assist manual to efficiently locate UI problem screenshots, greatly improving the efficiency of testing personnel to identify UI problems.

With over a thousand key UI game scenarios and various issues, AI auditing can be done in seconds to find anomalies

Test drivers, on the other hand, are a challenge. With traditional script-driven tests, the playback success rate is often very low, even below 30%, depending on the environment. This means a lot of script debugging and rework. On the basis of the existing script driver, ai-assisted exploration realizes the batch operation of hundreds of devices with a small amount of manual intervention, and the success rate of operation is also greatly improved compared with pure script driver, which can reach more than 85%, making the compatibility test truly enter the intelligent stage.

Significant progress has been made in AI automation exploration

Qualified AI applications should not only replace human intelligence, but also focus on quality and efficiency.

A year ago, WeTest fully upgraded the deep compatibility testing, covering not only the Top300 models on the market and 90% of mobile app users, but also the test video replay, 24-hour delivery of test reports and other services. For this reason, AI is one of the swords that have been drawn.

In the compatibility automation test of the game “The King of Gone Days”, WeTest combined AI technology to develop a UI automation scheme for the product in the whole scene, which almost realized the function of automatic inspection of UI interface elements in the whole scene, greatly improving the efficiency of product compatibility test.

At present, more than 80% of Tencent’s internal games are using ai-assisted automated exploration testing methods to improve compatibility.

For applications that are more focused on quality, AI can add significantly to the quality of compatibility testing. During the service period, Tencent WeTest has assisted travel, finance, live video and other head applications to formulate optimization plans for batch running scripts and accurately reach various compatibility testing problems.

Deep compatibility services hit the bottom price, so that the quality of continuous voice

After more than ten years of testing and polishing, WeTest not only accumulated many excellent testing tools and WeTest self-developed tools, forming a mature DevOps testing platform, improving the overall efficiency. This is why WeTest is able to “take action as needed” and implement AI technology in the first time to meet the demands of developers and the market, thus greatly reducing the cost of deep compatibility testing.

In ChinaJoy, Tencent WeTest announced that the deep compatibility test service will be open in Q3 2019, so it has received many inquiries and concerns from game developers. Faced with questions, Tencent WeTest official said that developers can log in to the official website of Tencent Quality Open Platform (hyperlink: wetest.qq.com) for service consultation.
