Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the rendering time for individual components of a software application, such as a single page application (SPA). Baseline screenshots are captured for specific screen regions associated with selected components. After invalidating associated application caches, one or more selected components are reloaded. After respective server calls complete, which time corresponds to rendering start times, test screenshots of the specified regions are captured during re-rendering and are compared to their corresponding baseline screenshots. When a match is found for a component under test, the time the match is found is marked as a rendering completion time. The rendering completion time for each component may be compared to the corresponding rendering start time to determine the amount of time taken to render each of the components of the application.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a help file based on failed user queries. A help file generation system collects failed user queries from user computer systems. The generation system assists a developer in identifying failed user queries that are related to a topic. The generation system then updates the entry in the help file for that topic based on the identified user queries. When a help system subsequently uses that help file, it checks the updated entry when searching for a match and will likely find a match to a relevant topic for a user query that previously failed.
