SEQUENCE DETECTION AND AUTOMATION FOR COMPLEX PORTAL ENVIRONMENTS
First Claim
1. A method for user interface interaction sequence detection and recording for user interface interaction automation, the method comprising:
- comparing a contemporary sequence of user interface actions in a user interface to a pre-stored sequence; and
,prompting for an expected user interface action if the contemporary sequence matches the pre-stored sequence.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to user interface interaction automation and provide a method, system and computer program product for user interface interaction sequence detection and recording for user interface interaction automation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for user interface interaction sequence detection and recording for user interface interaction automation can be provided. The method can include comparing a contemporary sequence of user interface actions in a user interface to a pre-stored sequence, and prompting for an expected user interface action if the contemporary sequence matches the pre-stored sequence. The method also can include prompting to store the contemporary sequence as a pre-stored sequence, and storing the contemporary sequence as a pre-stored sequence if directed in response to the prompting.
