Software that is developed as rich internet applications must be tested thoroughly in multiple browser environments for a consistent user experience. These applications often incorporate HTML, CSS, and *JavaScript code, which are not always rendered in a consistent, standard way across the browsers. It is a slow manual process to visually test and compare the user interface of a rich internet application in each browser. When testing uncovers a problem, it can also be very time-consuming to inspect the code being rendered, pinpoint what code is causing inconsistent layout issues, and determine how to modify the code to fix the problem.
The subject concept is to a software tool that not only automatically tests the visual aspects of Rich Internet applications (RIA) for discrepancies in various browser environments, but also automatically provides suggestions on how the developer should fix the discrepancies.
The testing tool consists of
· a main software application that executes the tests and compiles the results
· a repository of known browser discrepancies and their solutions
To test a RIA, the tool would
1. Allow users to set configuration settings for tests to be run.
