Filed:

Jan 22, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/357609

Inventors:

Dennis Keith Fischer - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Intuit Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717126

Abstract:

Embodiments of a system (such as a computer system), a method, and a computer-program product (e. g. , software) for use with the computer system are described. These embodiments may be used to test software that includes instructions for a graphical user interface with objects that receive values in associated fields. In particular, during testing, the system identifies the objects and associated expected values in the software, tests the software based on the identified objects and the expected values, and generates a flow file which includes the testing operations and corresponding results. Moreover, during the testing, the system may generate a compliance document which includes the testing operations and the results. Additionally, the system compares differences between the flow file and a previous flow file (associated with previous testing), and presents differences to a quality-assurance analyst who evaluates whether or not the differences are consistent with design changes between the software and a previous version of the software.

Abstract:

The present invention is an improved mud excluder fitted around a rotating acoustic transducer of a borehole televiewer to exclude mud from the borehole televiewer. This mud excluder has: (a) a flexible casing means attached to the borehole televiewer to form a fluid cavity adjacent to the rotating acoustic transducer, (b) an acoustically transparent fluid located within the fluid cavity, (c) an acoustic window means opposite the transducer and adjacent to the fluid cavity, and (d) a pressure compensating means within the fluid cavity to equalize the pressure within the fluid cavity with the pressure on the outside of the flexible casing means.
