  • Publication number: 20120324424
    Abstract: According to exemplary embodiments, method and systems for software accessibility testing are provided. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include: obtaining accessibility information on content of a graphical user interface (GUI) of software under test, wherein accessibility information is content of the GUI for which describing text is available or content of the GUI which is accessible by keyboard use; determining content of the GUI which should not be available in a test due to a lack of accessibility information; restricting the GUI to restrict access to the content not available; and providing the restricted GUI to a user for testing.

  • Patent number: 8244520
    Abstract: The example embodiments relate to a method for assisting in the translational testing of computer software. A translated panel, which may include a translatable portion and a continuously dynamic portion, may be provided. An overlay that includes only the continuously dynamic portions of the panel may be produced. The overlay may be applied to first and second versions of the panel to produce first and second iterations of the panel, respectively, wherein each iteration does not include the continuously dynamic portion of the panel. The translatable portions of the first and second iterations may be compared to determine whether the translatable portions are different. If the translatable portions are different, then the panel may be retested for translational accuracy; if the translatable portions are not different, then the program may indicate that the second iteration is not different from the first iteration.

  • Patent number: 8234502
    Abstract: A method of automated password authentication by pattern matching regions of screen pixels against a repository of previously captured regions, and submitting a username and a password stored with the regions of the screen pixels for authentication includes triggering an autorunnable application to startup by inserting a memory stick by a user, challenging the user for a master password to access an encrypted database held on the memory stick, running the autorunnable application as a background task following a successful authorization of the user, and checking whether the user has triggered the autorunnable application by a pre-defined key sequence. If the user has triggered the autorunnable application, then the method proceeds with prompting the user to highlight at least one rectangle around a text or an image which uniquely identifies a login panel, capturing a username and a password when entered by the user, and returning the autorunnable application to a background task.

  • Patent number: 5765890
    Abstract: A device for use in handling a semiconductor wafer from a front face of the wafer on which a finished surface is formed by processing of the semiconductor wafer, the front face including an outer peripheral edge margin. The device includes fingers having tip portions adapted to engage the wafer for use in holding the wafer and a frame mounting the fingers and positively locating the fingers for simultaneously engaging the wafer only on the outer peripheral edge margin of the wafer. The device further includes vacuum pressure passages terminating at the tip portions of the fingers for applying a vacuum pressure through the finger tip portions to the wafer to grip the wafer. The fingers are arranged for holding the wafer in a single predetermined orientation.
