  • Patent number: 10628291
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product to improve testing of web interfaces where each page and point of interaction in the web interfaces are represented by Page Objects. Responsive to a processor receiving code to navigate a path from a first Page Object to a second Page Object in the user interface, the path is identified as a slow path. Responsive to identifying the path as a slow path, a marker is displayed with the code.

  • Patent number: 10175960
    Abstract: A method for user interface (UI) automation area coverage is presented. The method extracts document information from a unit test class, the unit test class being code used to test a user interface (UI). The method searches for a keyword within the extracted document information to find a keyword match. The method receives a weight factor from a user the weight factor giving more importance to certain keywords over the other keywords. The method weights specified keywords based on a weight factor, the weight factor increasing or decreasing an importance to the specified keywords. The method assigns a weight score to each keyword match based on the number of keyword matches and the weight factor. Furthermore the method generates a user interface report, the UI report comprising the weight score.

  • Patent number: 9733906
    Abstract: A method for user interface (UI) automation area coverage is presented. The method extracts document information from a unit test class, the unit test class being code used to test a user interface (UI). The method searches for a keyword within the extracted document information to find a keyword match. The method receives a weight factor from a user the weight factor giving more importance to certain keywords over the other keywords. The method weights specified keywords based on a weight factor, the weight factor increasing or decreasing an importance to the specified keywords. The method assigns a weight score to each keyword match based on the number of keyword matches and the weight factor. Furthermore, the method generates a user interface report, the UI report comprising the weight score.
