US Classification:

719328

Abstract:

User interface verification may be provided. First, a known good file may be received. Next, an automation may be run on an application program to place the application program in a predetermined state. Data from the known good file may then be compared to data corresponding to a user interface corresponding to the predetermined state of the application program. In response to the comparison, results corresponding to comparing the data from the known good file to the data corresponding to the user interface may be reported.
