Recording and playback of trace log data and video log data for programs is described. In one aspect, a method for viewing log data recorded during execution of a program includes causing a display of recorded images depicting prior visual user interaction with the program during a particular time period. The method also includes causing a display of messages tracing and describing prior execution of the program during the particular time period. The display of the messages and the display of the recorded images are synchronized.

Recording and playback of trace and video log data for programs

A benchmark test system captures and records root, or input, behavior from a user input device as one or more time-displaced samples of input. The system also separately captures and records the canvas, or visual, behavior of a user interface in response to the captured input as a series of time-displaced image frames. The image frames are analyzed for visual prompts occurring responsive to the input, and parameters of the image frames are determined. A parametric difference between corresponding ones of the root events and canvas responses is thereby computed, in order to determine a degree of visual responsiveness for the user interface software respective to the root input.

System and method for automated testing of user interface software for visual responsiveness

Certain embodiments enable image-based stimulus for circuit simulations by extracting a waveform from an image and using that waveform to simulate a circuit. Image-processing aspects may include edge-detection processes to identify a boundary of the waveform in the image.
