  • System and method for regression tests of user interfaces
    Patent number: 7644368
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for regression tests of graphical user interfaces. In one embodiment, a testing system receives the actual state and the target of a GUI under test. The testing system computes the difference between the actual state and the target state based, at least in part, on a weighting function. The computed difference is compared to a threshold value. In an embodiment, if the difference is within the threshold, then the system indicates that the GUI is valid.

  • Geo-server interface
    Publication number: 20040088346
    Abstract: A method obtains output geographic information from at least one of plural geo-servers having different communication formats. The method includes formatting input geographic information so that a format of the input geographic information is compatible with a communication format of a selected geo-server, transmitting the input geographic information to the selected geo-server, and receiving, from the selected geo-server, output geographic information that is based on the input geographic information.

  • Graphics generation and integration
    Publication number: 20040085318
    Abstract: A method, performed by a server, generates graphics to output to an external application. The method includes receiving instructions originating from the external application, generating one of plural different types of graphics based on the instructions by combining elements from one or more graphics sources, and outputting the graphics to the external application.
