We are a software company. Our product (Dialogue) is very
expansive with lots of menus, dialog boxes, etc in the GUI. We
use unstructured FM 7.2.
Every time we have a new release, undoubtedly some (or many) of
the software's menus and dialog boxes change due to enhancements.
This requires us to identify these changes (somehow) and re-do
any screenshots in our documentation and training materials.
Is anyone aware of a tool that can go through an application and
harvest screenshots of all menus and dialog boxes? Then, would
it be able to compare screenshots of the last version to indicate
where changes have occurred on the GUI?
Any suggestions or resources would be appreciated.
Simply isolate the description of each menu to a single file. Then
the date, or revision number, of that file will do all you want.
Your make file can even automate updating the screenshot images.
