Abstract
A computer-implemented method and computer processing system are provided. The method includes intercepting, by a processor, a sequence of data elements related to an interaction between a user and a user interface of a computer system that includes the processor. The method further includes identifying, by the processor, atomic operations within the sequence and metadata associated with the atomic operations. The method also includes calculating, by the processor, correlation indexes from the metadata. A respective correlation index is calculated for various atomic operation groups formed from the atomic operations. The method additionally includes identifying, by the processor, a macro operation from at least one of the correlation indexes. The macro operation includes multiple correlated atomic operations from among the atomic operations identified within the sequence.
