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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) 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. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) 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. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 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. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) 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. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) 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. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) 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. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) 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. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) 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. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) 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;
