  • Document layout verification
    Publication number: 20070256010
    Abstract: A test document is parsed into components which may include bounding boxes, segments, and points. Test code makes calls to properties and methods of components in order to verify document layout. Rather than take absolute measurements of component placement, components are evaluated relative to each other. Layout verification logic may be part of a larger software test system.
