Abstract: Methods for outputting an application are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment provides a software tool for outputting an application to one or more environments. The tool may be able to receive and use output task plug-ins that specify output characteristics for outputting to different environments. The use of such plug-ins may make the tool easily extensible with respect to outputting an application to many different mobile devices, including devices that are not yet released, as well as to other local, device, and network environments. Another exemplary embodiment involves a output tool that may receive and save user specified output parameters for an output task as an output task instance. The tool makes the output task instance available for outputting an application according to the received output parameters without requiring that the parameters be specified again.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein adapt a content authoring environment based on the specifications of destination electronic device for which that content is prepared. Such modification tailors features in the authoring environment to the destination device. The content authoring environment receives an identification of a destination device, such as a mobile phone, for which content is to be presented. The content authoring environment then modifies operation of itself to confirm to characteristics of the identified destination device. For example, such a modification can enable/disable authoring tools, provide device compatibility feedback in response to user content authoring, make changes to created content for device compatibility, and so forth.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated testing are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an input during testing of an application on a first emulated device. The method further includes automatically creating from the input a test module configured to be executed on a second emulated device for testing of the application, wherein the first emulated device is different from the second emulated device. In one embodiment, the system includes a receiver configured to receive an input during testing of an application on a first emulated device. The system further includes a creation module in communication with the receiver and configured to automatically create from the input a test module configured to be executed on a second emulated device for testing of the application, wherein the first emulated device is different from the second emulated device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reviewing test results are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a first display capture from a testing of a first emulated device executing an application, wherein the first display capture is from a first instance in the application. The method further includes receiving a second display capture from a testing of a second emulated device executing the application, wherein the second display capture is from the first instance in the application. The method also includes creating a display capture package comprising the first display capture and the second display capture. The display capture package is configured to cause the simultaneous display of the first display capture and the second display capture. The method further includes transmitting the display capture package to a display device.
