The disclosed computer-implemented method may include systems for incorporating a user's avatar into a real-time communication session. For example, the described systems establish a real-time communication session between two or more social networking system users. The described systems further generate a landmark map representing positioning of one of the real-time communication session participants, and transmit the landmark map with the participant's avatar to one or more recipients. On the recipient-side, the described systems render the transmitted avatar according to the landmark map. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for incorporating avatars into real-time communication sessions

Users of multiple clients participate in a video chat session by exchanging video streams. A user initiates generation of a high-quality composite image of the video chat session. The clients each capture high-quality local images and send the images to a chat server via a communications channel that is out-of-band from the video streams. The chat server stores the images in a repository. The initiating user views the images and selects images and a layout to use for the composite image. The chat server assembles the composite image based on the selections and saves the composite image to the repository. The initiating user can retrieve the composite image and view it, post it to social media, and/or use it for other purposes.

Generating images of video chat sessions

Embodiments of the invention relate to test case maintenance for user interfaces. In one embodiment, user source and test cases are linked for test case maintenance. A link is determined to have been created between a user interface and at least one test script. The test script includes a set of test instructions. The user interface includes a set of user interface elements. Each test instruction is run against the user interface. Mapping information for each test instruction is generated. A change is determined to have occurred in at least one of the user interface and the test script. In response to a change having occurred to the user interface, at least one test instruction affected by the change is identified. In response to a change having occurred to the test script, at least one user interface element affected by the change to the test script is identified.

Interactive semi-automatic test case maintenance

Embodiments of the invention relate automatically generating and positioning user interface elements. In one embodiment, user interface elements are automatically generated and positioned on a user interface. At least one test script associated with a user interface is received as an input. The test script includes a set of test instructions. Each test instruction in the set of test instructions is parsed. A set of user interface elements referenced by each test instruction is identified in response to the parsing. A determination is made as to whether the user interface includes the set of user interface elements. At least one user interface element in the set of user interface elements is generated in response to the user interface failing to include the at least one user interface element.
