Abstract
A method includes automatically identifying a screen control in a user interface. Optical character recognition is applied to read a text that is displayed on an image of the screen control. The displayed text is automatically compared to a character string that is designated for the screen control. If part of the character string is not included in the displayed text, the displayed text is identified as truncated text.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- automatically identifying a screen control in a user interface;
- applying optical character recognition to read a text that is displayed on the screen control in an image of the user interface;
- automatically comparing the displayed text to a character string that is designated for the screen control;
- and
- if part of the character string is not included in the displayed text, identifying the displayed text as truncated text.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a processor will cause the processor to perform the method of:
- obtaining an image of a user interface;
- identifying a screen control in the user interface;
- applying optical character recognition to read a text that is displayed on the screen control in the image;
- comparing the displayed text to a character string that is designated for the screen control;
- and
- if part of the character string is not included in the displayed text, identifying the displayed text as truncated text.
A system comprising:
- a processing unit in communication with a computer readable medium, wherein the computer readable medium contains a set of instructions wherein the processing unit is designed to carry out the set of instructions to:
- obtain an image of a user interface;
- identify a plurality of screen controls in the user interface;
- for each of the screen controls, read a text that is displayed on an image of that screen control;
- compare the displayed text to a character string that is designated for that screen control;
- and
- if part of the character string is not included in the displayed text, issue a notification that identifies the displayed text as truncated text.
