Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for computer application analysis are provided. The method for computer application analysis includes monitoring a computer system on which an application to be analyzed is executed and interacted with by a user of the computer system. The monitoring includes: capturing screen data of the application as displayed on a display screen of the computer system including interpreting the screen data using optical character recognition (OCR); and capturing user inputs to the application to input devices of the computer system. The method further includes analyzing the captured screen data and user inputs to generate a summary of the usage of the application.
