Method and apparatus for testing compatibility of 3D engine

An apparatus for testing the compatibility of a 3D engine, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a plurality of program units to be executed by the processor, the plurality of program units comprising:
• an acquiring unit, configured to acquire a hardware capability parameter of a graphics card to be simulated, the hardware capability parameter recording a capability supported by the graphics card;
• a running unit, configured to run a predetermined 3D engine according to the hardware capability parameter;
• and
• a determining unit, configured to determine, according to a result of running the 3D engine, whether the 3D engine is compatible with the graphics card to be simulated, wherein a hardware and software environment of the computing terminal is built once and remains unchanged in testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with different graphics cards to be simulated,
• wherein the running unit comprises a first determining module, configured to:
• remodel an implementation application programming interface (API) needs to be invoked when the 3D engine is run by using a preset API under a premise of making no modification to the 3D engine, including:
• setting a first function corresponding to the preset API before or in a second function corresponding to the implementation API that needs to be invoked when the 3D engine is run, such that the first function corresponding to the preset API is invoked before the second function corresponding to the implementation API is invoked;
• determine whether a capability implemented by a the implementation API that is invoked when the 3D engine is run is the capability that is supported by the graphics card and recorded by the hardware capability parameter through using the preset API;
• determine, if the capability implemented by the implementation API is the capability that is supported by the graphics card and recorded by the hardware capability parameter, that the result of running the 3D engine is normal;
• or determine, if the capability implemented by the implementation API is not the capability that is supported by the graphics card and recorded by the hardware capability parameter, that the result of running the 3D engine is error;
• and
• provide a shortened period of testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with a plurality of graphics cards by:
• instead of building the hardware and software environment of the computing terminal repeatedly for testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with the plurality of graphics cards, running the 3D engine and using the preset API a plurality of times when the implementation API needs to be invoked according to hardware capability parameters of the plurality of graphics cards on the same computing terminal without changing the hardware and software environment of the computing terminal.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform:

• acquiring a hardware capability parameter of a graphics card to be simulated, the hardware capability parameter recording a capability supported by the graphics card;
• running a 3D engine according to the hardware capability parameter;
• and
• determining, according to a result of running the 3D engine, whether the 3D engine is compatible with the graphics card to be simulated, wherein a hardware and software environment of the computing terminal is built once and remains unchanged in testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with different graphics cards to be simulated,
• wherein the running the 3D engine according to the hardware capability parameter comprises:
• remodeling an implementation application programming interface (API) needs to be invoked when the 3D engine is run by using a preset API under a premise of making no modification to the 3D engine, including:
• setting a first function corresponding to the preset API before or in a second function corresponding to the implementation API that needs to be invoked when the 3D engine is run, such that the first function corresponding to the preset API is invoked before the second function corresponding to the implementation API is invoked;

• or determining, if the capability implemented by the implementation API is not the capability that is supported by the graphics card and recorded by the hardware capability parameter, that the result of running the 3D engine is error;
• and
• providing a shortened period of testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with a plurality of graphics cards by:
• instead of building the hardware and software environment of the computing terminal repeatedly for testing the compatibility of the 3D engine with the plurality of graphics cards, running the 3D engine and using the preset API a plurality of times when the implementation API needs to be invoked according to hardware capability parameters of the plurality of graphics cards on the same computing terminal without changing the hardware and software environment of the computing terminal.
