Abstract

A first signature log generated by a first processing system is received. A first listing of the recorded series of user inputs included in the signature log is compared to at least one historical log indicating at least one historical path, each historical path including at least second listing of a series of historical user inputs that corresponds to a historical endpoint in the computer program. Responsive to comparing the first listing of the recorded series of user inputs to the at least one historical log, the historical path to which the recorded series of user inputs at least partially corresponds is identified and the at least one historical endpoint is identified as a predicted endpoint in the computer program. Based on the predicted endpoint, a predicted path corresponding to the predicted endpoint in the computer program is selected and output.
