Abstract
A method includes analyzing, on a first computing device, data from second computing device(s) of user interaction with a user interface of an application previously executed on the second computing device(s). The data corresponds to events caused by the user interaction with the user interface of the application. The first computing device generates representation(s) of the analyzed data and outputs the representation(s) of the user interaction. Another method includes capturing and logging, by a computing device, events caused by user interaction with a user interface of an application when the application is executed on the computing device. In response to a trigger, data comprising the captured and logged events is sent toward another computing device. Another method includes instrumenting a measurement library into an application to create an instrumented version of the application, and sending the instrumented application to computing device(s). Methods, apparatus, software, and computer program products are disclosed.
