ABSTRACT:
Displayed inconsistencies and errors within a visual resource (e.g., dialog, menu) and between two visual resources are automatically detected without requiring the execution of an application having either of the visual resources. When a source application is localized, its visual resources are extracted and translated into the target language. This translation of the visual resources often causes errors in the visual display. The visual resource analyzer of the invention identifies these errors without requiring execution of either the source or localized versions of the application, which enables the errors to be easily corrected. Furthermore, the elements of a visual resource are analyzed for display anomalies, such as alignment errors and overlapping other elements.
