Abstract
Determining user behavior using user interface log records. A plurality of log files, generated by an application in response to user interface inputs from a corresponding plurality of users accessing a user interface of the application to accomplish a task, is accessed. Each log file includes a plurality of log records that identify user interface inputs of the corresponding user to user input controls of the user interface. Each respective log file of the plurality of log files is analyzed to identify a path of a plurality of different potential paths taken by the corresponding user from a start user input control to an end user input control to accomplish the task. Information is stored that identifies a common path from the start user input control to the end user input control based on the path taken by the corresponding user for each log file and a common path criterion.
