Application: System, method, and computer program for testing the accuracy of software that identifies user interface elements on a webpage (Patent ID: US20230419021A1)

The patent filed by Rakuten Group Inc. describes a system, method, and computer program for testing the accuracy of software that identifies user interface (UI) elements on a webpage. The system allows users to tag UI elements on a webpage with labels, creating a normalized specification that maps UI elements to normalized labels. The auto-identifier software is then used to identify UI elements on the webpage, and the system evaluates its performance based on the stored specification, displaying diagnostics related to its accuracy. The method is particularly useful for testing the accuracy of autofill software on webforms and cart-scraper software on checkout pages.

The claims associated with the patent detail a method performed by a computer system for testing the accuracy of the auto-identifier software, involving tagging UI elements, creating a normalized specification, using the software to identify UI elements, evaluating its performance, and displaying diagnostics. The method covers scenarios where the UI elements are fields, the software is designed to automatically fill in fields on a webform, and the diagnostics include statistics on software performance. Additionally, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a computer program for testing software accuracy and a computer system with processors and memory units to enable the testing process. These claims emphasize the importance of accurately identifying and evaluating UI elements on webpages for various software applications.
