The method for automatic testing further relates to a corresponding device.

A system and method for receiving, using one or more processors, a first testing identifier associated with a first element of an application under test; receiving, using the one or more processors, a second testing identifier associated with the first element of an application under test; evaluating, using the one or more processors, the first testing identifier; determining, using the one or more processors, a failure of the first testing identifier to identify an element in the application under test; evaluating, using the one or more processors, the second testing identifier; identifying, using the one or more processors, the first element in the application under test based on the second testing identifier; and repairing, using the one or more processors, the first testing identifier to identify the first element in the application under test.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to eliminate partial-redundant vector load operations. An example apparatus includes a node grouper to associate a vector operation with a node group, a candidate verifier to perform a dependencies test on a subset of the node group, and identify a subset of the node group as a candidate when the subset satisfies the dependencies test, and a code optimizer to determine replacement code based on a characteristic of the candidate in the node group and compare an estimated cost associated with executing the replacement code to a threshold. The example apparatus also includes a code generator to generate machine code using the replacement code when the estimated cost of executing the replacement code satisfies the threshold.

Systems and methods for generating, administering and analyzing a user experience study are provided. In particular, intents can be generated from a user experience study by applying one or more screener questions to participants and subjecting the screened participants to one or more tasks. Corresponding clickstreams and success data for each participant engaging in the tasks can be recorded. The success and clickstream data can also be aggregated for all the screened participants as aggregated results. Video data including audio for each of the screened participants can also be recorded.

This test method for validating a specification of a graphical interface consists of developing a scenario file corresponding to the validation test to be performed. The scenario file includes a plurality of instructions, in a natural programming language, each instruction including a function, parameters and an expected state of the graphical interface following the application of the function. The test is automatically performed by interpreting the scenario file so as to generate commands intended for an engine capable of interacting with the graphical interface and monitoring the evolution of its current state, and then analyzing a result file associating each instruction of the scenario file with a result corresponding to the comparison of the current state of the graphical interface following the application of the corresponding command with the expected state.

Provided is a method for testing a microservice application with at least one microservice with at least one application programming interface, including: reading characteristic data of the application programming interface of the microservice of the microservice application and ascertaining at least one endpoint of the application programming interface; automatically generating an execution script on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface; automatically generating a test infrastructure, wherein the test infrastructure includes at least one client entity; executing the execution script and transmitting the data query of the execution script by the client entity to the application programming interface of the microservice and receiving corresponding response data of the microservice by the client entity; and ascertaining the transfer characteristic by the client entity.

A method and an apparatus for verifying an operation state of an application are provided. The method can include setting target verification operation information according to an operation verification item of an application to be verified; setting a verification process instruction for the target verification operation information; encapsulating the verification operation information and the verification process instruction as fault injection data, and sending the fault injection data to a data input port of the application to be verified; matching the process feedback information with the verification process instruction in response to receiving the process feedback information corresponding to the fault injection data, and determining executed target verification operation information.

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving movement data describing physical movement of a person performing a predetermined action; generating, using a processor, classification of the movement data using a test application that predicts output of a wearable device, wherein the test application has been formed using previously collected data that describe the movement of a person performing the predetermined action; determining, using the processor, whether the movement data match the predetermined action in view of the classification; receiving output of a body-aware application that detects and responds to human movement; comparing, using the processor, the output of the body-aware application with the classification; and providing, using the processor, an indication of the comparing of the output of the body-aware application and the classification.
