Systems, processes, interfaces, and computer program products for verification of image content in software development systems

A computer program product for verifying image content within a system of software modules, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code being configured to:

• detect in an electronic file directory, a first software module under development, wherein:
• the first software module under development is part of a system of software modules under development,
• the first software module under development is written in a first format of a first computer program type, and
• the first software module under development includes an added or modified file including unrendered image data written in the first format of the first computer program type;
• automatically trigger running an image processing set of instructions of a second computer program type on the unrendered image data of the first software module under development in response to the first software module under development with the added or modified file being detected in the electronic file directory, the image processing set of instructions configured to:
• determine an image coordinate space compatible with the second computer program type,
• apply a bit-per-pixel value to the unrendered image data of the first software module under development,
• convert, based on an image operator, the unrendered image data with the applied bit-per-pixel value, into a format readable by the second computer program type, and
• render a visual image object from the converted image data, the visual image object filling the determined image coordinate space, wherein the rendered visual image object represents a visual representation of the unrendered image data of the first software module under development to be passed between the interface of the first software module under development and the second software module under development;
• and
• display the rendered visual image object in the format readable by the second computer program type, printed onto a hard copy or displayed on an electronic display, for visual verification of image content of the added or modified file.

An image rendering computing device, comprising:

• a memory module;
• an electronic display;
• an input/output port;
• and
• a processor in communication with the electronic display, the memory module, and the input/output port, the processor configured, via a set of executable instructions stored in the memory module, to:
• detect in an electronic file directory, a first software module under development, wherein:
• the first software module under development is part of a system of software modules under development,
• the first software module under development is written in a first format of a first computer program type, and
• the first software module under development includes an added or modified file including unrendered image data written in the first format of the first computer program type, wherein the unrendered image data is configured to be passed between an interface of the first software module under development and a second software module under development;
• automatically trigger running an image processing set of instructions of a second computer program type on the unrendered image data of the first software module under development in response to the first software module under development with the added or modified file being detected in the electronic file directory, the image processing set of instructions configured to:
• determine an image coordinate space compatible with the second computer program type,
• apply a bit-per-pixel value to the unrendered image data of the first software module under development,
• convert, based on an image operator, the unrendered image data with the applied bit-per-pixel value, into a format readable by the second computer program type, and
• render a visual image object from the converted image data, the visual image object filling the determined image coordinate space, wherein the rendered visual image object represents a visual representation of the unrendered image data of the first software module under development to be passed between the interface of the first software module under development and the second software module under development;
• and
• display the rendered visual image object in the format readable by the second computer program type, printed onto a hard copy or displayed on an electronic display, for visual verification of image content of the added or modified file.
