Patents & invention.
Co-invented work on bringing application context into software localization and testing.
Contextual-based localization based on manual testing
Translating an application is easier when the translator can see where a string appears. This invention uses the actions recorded during manual testing to reconstruct application screen states and pair the relevant text with screenshots.
I am named as a co-inventor alongside Elad Levi and Ran Bar Zik. The application was originally assigned to Hewlett-Packard. It reflects an earlier strand of my work: improving software engineering workflows by connecting tools to the context developers and testers already create.
