"Yes, we've filed for a patent"
"TestCafé loads websites via a proxy, thus allowing its engine to inject scripts that can access and manipulate the Document Object Model"
That's exactly how Selenium 1 worked when we created it 9 years ago. It also sounds like the approach used in Sahi, Windmill, JsTestDriver -- other web testing tools. Not cool.
"While loading via proxy is not a new idea, our implementation is unique. Our framework is the only one that automatically configures that proxy and allows direct communication with the page via JavaScript."
I look forward to reading your patent application.
- wildmXranat 13y agoI have written spiders and test tools that perform , inject and test in the very same way. There must be a plethora of prior implemenation out there.
- locusm 13y agoI found it very odd a web tools company highlighted the patent bit. I wonder how companies like this go in the javascript space given the range of choice in OSS alternatives.
- frankblizzard 13y agoI stopped reading after "Yes, we filed for a patent" Also, the voice of the presenter in the video sounds like from some tele-shopping channel.
- davidjgraph 13y agoThe US patent office does not care/have the resources/have a clue how to enforce that patents are non-novel and/or obvious. It is an entirely corrupt system driven by a mass of lawyers, all encouraging their clients to build patent portfolios for "defence". If you want to combat a patent, the best stage to do this is during the application stage, it's far harder to combat it after it's approved. For those that aren't aware of the StackExchange patents site [0], this is the best site I'm currently aware of for collecting evidence against patent applications. I would encourage you to actively seek out this patent application, start a thread on it and submit evidence against it. The US needs a cultural change on patents, to make it clear that the patent system is corrupt and companies that file software related/non-original patents as an excuse to not having to innovate any further/at all need to be shunned.

- nilliams 13y agoAgree and if anyone else has any information on how we would go about combating this patent please share it.
- hugs 13y agoThanks, I'll look into it. This is a serious issue.
- SkyMarshal 13y agoPeer-To-Patent is another good one - http://peertopatent.org/ http://peertopatent.org/
