System and Method for Determining Distances Among User Interface Elements

A system for determining distance between two or more user interface (UI) elements present on a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is capable of executing a plurality of modules stored in the memory, and wherein the plurality of module comprising:
• a UI element extraction module for extracting a plurality of UI elements from a Graphical User Interface (GUI);
• a margin determination module for deriving a left margin of the GUI based on a position of a first UI element, of the plurality of elements, on the GUI;
• a logical block creation module for creating a plurality of logical blocks comprising the plurality of UI elements, wherein a logical block, of the plurality of logical blocks, is created based upon a UI element lying on the left margin, and wherein the logical block comprises a subset of the plurality of UI elements, and wherein the subset includes the UI element;
• a neighboring UI element identification module for identifying one or more neighboring UI elements of at least one UI element present in the logical block;
• a distance computation module for computing distance between the at least one UI element and each neighboring UI element;
• and
• a distance displaying module for creating a reference UI element between the at least one UI element and each neighboring UI element, wherein the reference UI element is created to display the distance.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device for determining distance between two or more user interface (UI) elements present on a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the program comprising a program code comprising:

• a program code for extracting a plurality of UI elements from a Graphical User Interface (GUI);
• a program code for deriving a left margin of the GUI based on a position of a first UI element, of the plurality of elements, on the GUI;
• a program code for creating a plurality of logical blocks comprising the plurality of UI elements, wherein a logical block, of the plurality of logical blocks, is created based upon a UI element lying on the left margin, and wherein the logical block comprises a subset of the plurality of UI elements, and wherein the subset includes the UI element;
• a program code for identifying one or more neighboring UI elements of at least one UI element present in the logical block;
• a program code for computing distance between the at least one UI element and each neighboring UI element;
• and
• a program code for creating a reference UI element between the at least one UI element and each neighboring UI element, wherein the reference UI element is created to display the distance.
