Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) are presented for automatic testing of software products such as front-ends of computing devices. Various embodiments described herein can simplify the delivery and verification of software products and services across computing devices and screens by comparing user interface images using image analysis. For example, a screen buffer or visual representation of a new version of a software application can be compared with those representations generated using one or more previously released (positively tested) software versions of that application. This can broaden the reach of the solution and facilitate automation of workflows, which previously required human interaction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: automatically testing, by a processor, a latest version of software under test and one or more previous versions of the software, results of the automatic testing being generated using a data feed identical to both the latest version of software under test and to the one or more previous versions of the software, the one or more previous versions of the software having been positively tested before the present automatic testing, the one…
