DevEco Testing: Official Automation Testing Tool for HarmonyOS Applications

These notes provide a high-level overview and may contain inaccuracies. For detailed information, please refer to the official documentation.
1. Test Framework Architecture
DevEco Testing is built on the JUnit5 extension mechanism and adopts a layered testing strategy:
Unit Testing Layer: Covers business logic components (Service/Manager)
Component Testing Layer: Validates Ability/Extension functionalities
System Testing Layer: Verifies multi-device collaborative scenarios
Core capabilities include:
ArkTS Test Engine: Supports asynchronous task validation
Device Shadow Mode: Simulates multi-device collaborative environments
Data Sandbox: Isolates test data from production environments
2. Unit Testing Implementation
1. Test Case Specifications
typescript
// Example: Asynchronous Task Validation
@Test
async function testAsyncTask() {
const result = await DataService.fetchData();
assertEquals(result.code, 200);
assertTrue(Array.isArray(result.data));
}
2. Mock Service Configuration
Dependency isolation using @Mock annotations:
typescript
// Mock network service
@Mock
class NetworkService {
@InjectMock
async fetchData(): Promise<Data> {
return { code: 200, data: mockData };
}
}
3. Test Coverage
Line-level coverage reporting:
markdown
-------------------------
Test Coverage Report
-------------------------
Module | Line Coverage | Branch Coverage
-----------------------------------------------
CoreService | 82% | 75%
UIComponent | 91% | 88%
NetworkModule | 67% | 63%
3. UI Automation Testing
1. Component Localization Strategies
Strategy | Use Case | Example Code |
resource-id | Stable element ID | component.findComponentById('btn_submit') |
text | Dynamic content matching | component.findComponentsByText('Submit') |
xpath | Complex hierarchy | component.findByXPath('//*[@text="Confirm"]') |
2. Gesture Simulation
typescript
// Swipe Operation Example
test('Swipe Test', async () => {
await gesture.swipe({
startX: 500,
startY: 1500,
endX: 500,
endY: 500,
duration: 800
});
await expect(component).toHaveText('New Content');
});
3. Exception Scenarios
Network fluctuation simulation: device.simulateNetwork('3G')
Memory pressure testing: device.fillMemory(80%)
Low battery testing: device.setBatteryLevel(15%)
4. CI/CD Integration
1. Pipeline Configuration
yaml
# devops-ci.yaml
stages:
- name: unit-test
script:
- npm run build
- npm run test:unit -- --coverage
- name: ui-test
device:
type: emulator
config: phone_2k
script:
- npm run test:ui -- --headless
2. Test Reporting
Output formats:
bash
test-results/
├── junit.xml # CI system integration
└── report.html # Visual analysis report
5. Debugging Techniques
1. Log Filtering
bash
# Filter logs by test class
hilog -p I -t "com.example.test.*"
2. Snapshot Comparison
UI state comparison workflow:
Capture baseline interface snapshot
Execute test cases
Automatic element property difference analysis
3. Performance Benchmarks
Metric | Baseline | Alert Threshold |
Launch Time | ≤800ms | ≥1200ms |
Memory Usage | ≤150MB | ≥200MB |
FPS | ≥55 | ≤45 |

> Note: For complete API documentation, refer to DevEco Studio official manuals. Test case templates can be generated via IDE plugins. It is recommended to maintain a 1:3 ratio between test code and business code.
