  • Patent number: 6282551
    Abstract: An electronic spreadsheet system of the present invention includes a notebook interface having a plurality of notebook pages, each of which may contain a spread of information cells, or other desired page type (e.g., Graphs page). Methods are provided for rapidly accessing and processing information on the different pages, including displaying a plurality of page identifiers for selecting individual pages, and further including a preferred syntax for referencing information. Additional methods are provided for editing cells and blocks of cells.

  • Patent number: 5754760
    Abstract: A method of testing a software module using a genetic algorithm to generate a best test script is provided. The software module has a number of possible states. A set of state machines is created which represent a definition for either a user interface or an application program interface (API) of the software module in terms of the possible states. From the state machines, a set of test cases is automatically generated, such that each test case consists of code for manipulating the user interface or API. A genetic algorithm creates populations of test scripts from the test cases, in which each test script includes a number of test cases. Each test script from each successive generation of test scripts is executed by applying the script as input to the software module. A code coverage analyzer provides a measure of code coverage to the genetic algorithm for each test script.
