US 8,264,385 B1 · Using error bucketing and baseline analysis for I18N testing

Abstract

Systems and methods to detect and analyze character set translation errors in an electronic document are provided. One method according to the invention includes detecting a first character string within the electronic document; converting the first character string to a sequence of bytes by use of a first character set; using a second character set to convert the sequence of bytes to a second character string; and detecting whether a length of the second character string is different than a length of the first character string. Detection results are stored in memory for later analysis. Systems according to aspects of the invention perform are configured to perform this and other methods. In one example, the system includes a test scheduler, a test result classifier, an analyzer unit, and a processor coupled to data storage for performing the aforementioned method.

Dependent claims

A method of analyzing errors in an electronic document comprising a plurality of character strings, the method comprising:

determining whether a one of the plurality of the character strings is encoded in one of a first encoding or a second encoding, the second encoding being different than the first encoding;
if the character string is encoded in the first encoding, testing whether a value of a characteristic of the character string is within a first preset range for the characteristic;
and
if the character string is encoded in the second encoding, testing whether the character string contains an I18N error.
