STUTTER DETECTION METHOD AND DEVICE

Embodiments of this application provide a frame freezing detection method and apparatus, relate to the field of communications technologies, and may be used to detect a specific location in which frame freezing occurs during running of an application, so that a reason of frame freezing can be accurately determined, thereby reducing a breakdown probability and improving user experience. The method includes: when detecting a trigger operation for a target application, performing, by a terminal, a target task corresponding to the trigger operation; recording, by the terminal, first duration from generating the target task to starting to execute the target task, and second duration of executing the target task; and determining, by the terminal by comparing the first duration with a preset first reference value and comparing the second duration with a preset second reference value, that a location in which frame freezing occurs is in a process of another task before the target task is executed or is located in a process of executing the target task.
