Abstract
A computer-implemented method of mapping a process model of a software application executed by a hosting platform. A series of actions taken by a user with respect to user interfaces generated by the software application are simulated through one or more application programming interface (API) calls. The user interfaces include a form and the series of actions includes opening the form. A plurality of user interface fields of the form are then identified through one or more other API calls executed while impersonating a session of a user under test. At least some of the user interface fields are set to known values and the form is submitted to the software application after the fields have been set. Changes to field-related and record-related information resulting from the submission are then gathered and a process model of the software application is determined based upon the gathered information.
