Publication number: 20220075709Abstract: The application testing system and method provide an efficient and effective way to test multiple application variants of an application on at least one mobile device. The application testing system may cause a first application variant selection indication to be transmitted to at least one mobile device having the application. The first application variant selection indication may be configured to cause the mobile device to interact with the application according to a first application variant of the plurality of application variants. The application testing system may analyze data corresponding to the usage of the first application variant by the at least one mobile device, and cause a second application variant selection indication to be transmitted to the mobile device, wherein the second application variant selection indication is configured to cause the mobile device to interact with the application according to a second application variant of the plurality of application variants.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Fabio SISINNI, Don CHENNAVASIN

The search assistance list is displayed to the user in response to the received partial search query. In another implementation, a plurality of suggested search queries is determined for the received partial search query. A suggested search query of the plurality of suggested search queries having a highest relevance to the user is determined. A search assistance list is generated and displayed to the user. The suggested search query having the highest relevance to the user is prominently displayed in the search assistance list.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Yahoo!
