Abstract
Managing user applications is provided. Images are captured of displayed user interface display screens of a running user application on the data processing system. An embedded instrumentation library in the running user application is used to capture the images of the displayed user interface display screens. Screen position coordinates corresponding to components within the displayed user interface display screens of the running user application are calculated. A display screen data package is generated that includes the captured images of the displayed user interface display screens of the running user application and the calculated screen position coordinates corresponding to the components within the displayed user interface display screens.
