Abstract
A method of simulating application software includes presenting a generic application user interface for a particular type of application to a user across a network. The simulation receives user inputs during an interaction with the user interface. A management system evaluates performance of the user with regard to the type of application based upon the user inputs. The user inputs may be stored for later evaluation.
