US Patent:

20130055117, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:

Aug 31, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/222734
Inventors:

Ali Raza Sahibzada - Bellevue WA,
Michael Eatherly - Puyallup WA,
Stephane Viot - Bellevue WA,
Gurinder Singh - Renton WA,
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 3/048
US Classification:

715762
Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for analyzing a user interface. In particular, user interface (UI) elements within the user interface may be analyzed to detect potential issues, such as visual layout issues, functionality issues, and/or other issues with the user interface. In one example, property data of a UI element may be determined. For example, coordinates of the UI element, a string within the UI element, a translation of the string, dimensional units of the UI element, and/or a wide variety of other property data may be determined. The property data may be correlated together (e.g., analyzed) to determine a recommendation. For example, a string size of a string may be compared with a UI size of a UI element to determine whether the string visually fits within the UI element without truncation. In this way, the recommendation may identify issues and/or solutions to such issues.

US Patent:

20120109900, May 3, 2012
Filed:

Nov 3, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/939046
Inventors:

Ali Raza Sahibzada - Bellevue WA,
Michael Joseph Eatherly - Puyallup WA,
Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707687, 707758, 707E17005
Abstract:

Various embodiments provide techniques for analyzing the marketization of products. In at least some embodiments, a marketized version of a product (e.g., a software application) is associated with a configuration file that indicates actual product element settings for the marketized version. According to some embodiments, techniques are provided for determining if the product element settings (e.g., expected behaviors) indicated in the configuration file match product element settings in a specification for the product and/or vice-versa. In at least some embodiments, techniques are provided for generating a specification file from a configuration file for a marketized version of a product. For example, product elements and product element settings can be selected from the configuration file and used to generate the specification file. The specification file can then be used to validate the product and/or other versions of the product, e.g., subsequent builds and/or marketizations of the product.

706 47, 704 2
Abstract:

Various embodiments provide techniques for analyzing resources based on a set of rules to determine problems that may occur during a product (e.g., a software product) development cycle. In accordance with some embodiments, resources can include files, strings, images, text, user interface elements (e.g. controls, radio buttons, and/or windows), and so on. In at least some embodiments, a resource analysis utility (“RAU”) is provided that can load resource files and analyze associated resources according to a set of rules. According to some embodiments, the RAU includes a graphical user interface (“GUI”) that enables resource files to be selected and rules to be selected that are to be used to analyze the resource files. The GUI can also include results of the analysis of the resource files.
