Abstract: A computer-implemented method for communicating and collecting data across multiple applications through a single user engagement application includes displaying multiple applications and a single user engagement application in a single window. Each of the multiple applications includes a user interface and user interface data objects being displayed in the single window. The user engagement application includes a chat user interface and a collection user interface, where the chat user interface displays multiple chat threads and the collection user interface includes multiple collections of saved user interface data objects. The user engagement application is a separate and distinct application from each of the multiple applications. The method includes copying and inserting selected user interface data object into a selected chat thread in the chat user interface and posting the inserted user interface data object to the other users of the selected chat thread.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for keyboard-based navigation of a user interface are described herein. An area around a first object displayed on a user interface is divided into quadrants and one or more segments for at least one of the quadrants. The user interface includes a plurality of objects and the quadrants represent directions with respect to the first object. In response to a key stroke indicating a first direction, a first one of the quadrants corresponding to the first direction is identified. The segments of the first quadrant are scanned to identify a second object that is closest to the first object in the first quadrant. The second object is then selected.

Abstract: A process flow status header that displays information on the status of a business process flow, including a status indicator, is added to the process flow control. A visualization of the percentage of completed or created items compared to missing or incomplete items and a distribution representative of the status of each step of the process flow is provided as part of the process flow status header. The process flow status header is a single control for accessing the associated process flow control from anywhere in the user interface.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to assess gesture inputs for performing usability testing of an application are described herein. In one aspect, a GUI associated with an application to be tested is presented. Gesture inputs from test participants to invoke execution of a task of the application using the GUI are recorded. Further, 3D coordinates corresponding to each of the recorded gesture inputs are determined And, the determined 3D coordinates are assessed to determine at least one intuitive gesture input to invoke execution of the task of the application.
