  • Patent number: 11809882
    Abstract: An electronic device receives an interface calling request for a target interface in an application program. The interface calling request includes interface calling information of the target interface. The device performs an interface query in a simulated interface set that simulates real interfaces in the application program. In accordance with a determination, based on the interface query, that a target simulation interface corresponding to the target interface exists in the simulated interface set, the device intercepts the interface calling request. The device compares the intercepted interface calling information with interface configuration information of the target simulated interface. In accordance with a determination that the interface calling information matches the interface configuration information, the device obtains simulated response data corresponding to the target simulation interface. The device outputs calling response data of the interface calling request.
