Patent ID: 7480443

Claim:
A physical storage medium storing a program for testing whether navigational paths through authored digital content comply with a pre-defined test plan, the pre-defined test plan comprising a plurality of abstractions associated with respective raw content objects during authoring of the digital content, and the digital content comprising presentation data capable of being rendered by a presentation engine, the presentation data comprising first presentation data having a position within a navigational path of the digital content, the first presentation data having identification data embedded therein, wherein the program when run on a processor-based system causes the system to: extract the identification data from the first presentation data in response to the presentation data being rendered; access, using the identification data, an abstraction, said abstraction being associated with a raw content object from which the presentation data was derived; and determine whether there is a correlation between the accessed abstraction and an anticipated abstraction of a pre-defined test plan, thereby determining whether or not the position of the first presentation data within the navigational path complies with the pre-defined test plan.
