  • Patent number: 9672197
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for universal rebranding of a Web site. A method for Web site universal rebranding includes loading source code for a source Web site and source code for a target Web site. The method also includes parsing the source code to identify for each of the source Web site and the target Web site a style sheet framework, one or more icons representative of branded logos, and a color and font scheme. Thereafter, design ontologies for both the source and also the target Web site are generated based upon the respectively identified style sheet frameworks, icons, logos and color and font schemes. Finally, the ontologies can be compared to identify common design elements and the style sheet framework of the target Web site can be modified to incorporate design values for the common design elements drawn from the style sheet of the source Web site.

  • Patent number: 9635094
    Abstract: A capture and replay system identifies images displayed during an application session. A parser may generate Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code from an application resource file or from the JSON post made by the application. A replay engine may use the HTML code to recreate at least some of the screens displayed during the application session. The capture and replay system may dynamically identify images that are not reproduced from the resources database and request an agent/(s) to asynchronously upload the image files associated with the images. The replay engine may use the uploaded image files to replay the application session. The capture and replay system may capture application sessions more efficiently by reproducing images from the resource file instead of capturing the images during the original application session and by dynamically requesting image files for the images were are not previously reproduced from the resource file.
