Smartphones are electronic devices that people can carry around and install/add compatible third-party Apps to expend their functionality. Smartphones are mainly developed for calling and messaging purposes. All applications' interfaces are designed for the current trends. Therefore, Senior Citizen and Low-literate users face difficulties to use smartphones due to the perceived complicated interface and functionality. This paper analyzes Senior Citizen and Low-literate user's requirements to read and write messages from users "memory load", "navigation consistency", "consistency and standard", and "touch screen finger-based tapping" perspective. Then a framework based on "visual representation", "navigation" and "miss click avoidance" is developed. A comparison between the proposed application and other messaging applications is provided. This research work focused on the Senior Citizen and Low-literate users to improve their user experience of the smartphone messaging application.
Software Quality Assurance Testing time computer vision based automation tools are used to test the window based application and window based application is combined of many objects. Among them most of the automation tool detect window objects by comparing images. Most of the objects are visible in the window screen but some objects which are not visible to the screen at the first time. Proper interaction with the window application hidden objects get visible to the screen like dropdown list item, editor text object, list box item and slider. With the automation tools these hidden objects cannot be searched directly. In this paper proposes some methods which will enhance the automation tools to access the window application hidden objects.
