Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided to enable context aware logging. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may record events that occur in one or more applications, where the events are due to user input. These events may be associated with time values and data describing application contexts, such that the events may be used to generate an input log that also records application semantics and statuses. A variety of operations may be performed using this input log, including recreation of an application state by playing back the log, the ability to suspend or resume a user session, the ability to perform undo or pause operations, the ability to analyze user inputs to train or audit users, testing of users, troubleshooting of errors, and enabling multi-user collaboration.
