Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for managing activity information associated with user applications. According to some embodiments, the techniques can include a method that is implemented by an activity application executing on a computing device, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from an activity manager executing on the computing device, an indication that a particular functionality is being implemented by a user application executing on the computing device, (2) querying the activity manager for activity information associated with the particular functionality, (3) compositing the activity information into a user interface that is managed by the activity application, and (4) causing the user interface to be output to a display device that is communicatively coupled to the computing device.

Abstract: An electronic board testing system includes a card testing device which is designed for use with a personal computer (PC) and arranged for connection to a unit under test. Through the utilization of a test-authoring program, a test-implementing program may be created by a test designer by inputting appropriate testing process flow information in response to inquiries displayed on the PC screens. The test implementing program thereby created is effective to subsequently present on the PC display, testing procedures and probe placements to an operator to enable the collection and comparison of test data in a step-by-step and point-by-point process and to display the test results associated therewith on the PC screen.
