Abstract

The present invention has been made to provide a screen generation program, a screen generation apparatus, and a screen generation method that generate a screen displayed on a client.

A screen generation program allows a computer to execute: an acquisition step that acquires first data which is data sent from a server to client and which allows the client to display a first screen for receiving operation performed by a user and second data which is data sent from the client to server and which indicates the operation received by the first screen displayed on the client; and a generation step that generates, based on the first and second data acquired by the acquisition step, third data for displaying a second screen obtained by adding operation information which is based on the second data to the first screen.

Claims

1. A screen generation program allowing a computer other than a client to generate a screen which is displayed on the client in association with communication between the client and a server, comprising:

an acquisition step that acquires first data which is data sent from the server to client and which allows the client to display a first screen for receiving operation performed by a user and second data which is data sent from the client to server and which indicates the operation received by the first screen displayed on the client; and

a generation step that generates, based on the first and second data acquired by the acquisition step, third data for displaying a second screen obtained by adding operation information which is based on the second data to the first screen.

2. The screen generation program according to claim 1, wherein

the acquisition step further acquires fourth data which is data sent from the server to client and which allows the client to display a screen.

3. The screen generation program according to claim 1, wherein

the acquisition step acquires the first and second data from capture data which is obtained by capturing communication between the server and client.

4. The screen generation program according to claim 3, wherein

the acquisition step extracts a request message which is a message sent from the client to server and a response message which is a message sent from the server to client from the capture data, acquires the first data from the extracted response message, and acquires the second data from a request message immediately after the response message.

5. The screen generation program according to claim 4, wherein

the acquisition step acquires error information in an error log created in the server, extracts a message corresponding to the error information from the message, extracts another message related to the extracted message, and acquires the first and second data from the extracted messages.

6. The screen generation program according to claim 4, wherein

the first data is a form, and

the second data is an argument of the request message.

7. The screen generation program according to claim 6, wherein

the generation step adds a description specifying a value of the argument to the form to generate the third data.

8. The screen generation program according to claim 1, further allowing a computer to execute a first display step that selects screen data from a plurality of screen data which allow a screen to be displayed and which includes the third data based on an instruction from a user interface and performs a first display step that displays a screen based on the selected screen data.

9. The screen generation program according to claim 8, wherein

the first display step specifies error information corresponding to the second data from error information entries in the error log created in the server and displays the specified error information in addition to the screen which is based on the selected screen data.

10. The screen generation program according to claim 8, wherein

the first display step specifies information corresponding to a user'"'"'s entry from previously stored information related to second data and displays the specified information in addition to the screen based on the selected screen data.

11. The screen generation program according to claim 1, wherein

the operation information includes operation order indicating the order of the operations.

12. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

the generation step acquires operation position which is the position at which operation is performed on the first screen based on the second data and generates the second screen by adding the operation information to the position indicated by the operation position on the first screen.

13. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

the generation step acquires screen order indicating the order in which the plurality of first screens have been displayed on the client based on the plurality of first data and generates the third data corresponding to the first screens, and

the screen generation program further allowing a computer to execute a second display step that displays the plurality of third data and information indicating the screen order in association with each other.

14. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

in the case where the second data indicates a click operation performed at the operation position, the operation information including a graphic image emphasizing the operation position and the generation step generates the second screen by adding the operation information to the vicinity of the operation position on the first screen.

15. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

in the case where the second data indicates input of a value to the operation position or display thereof at the operation position, the operation information including the value and the generation step generates the second screen by adding the operation information to the vicinity of the operation position on the first screen.

16. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

the generation step acquires the time of operation based on the second data and includes information concerning the time of operation in the operation information.

17. The screen generation program according to claim 16, wherein

the information concerning the time of operation is a time difference between target operation and operation immediately before the target operation.

18. The screen generation program according to claim 11, wherein

the generation step acquires an image of the first screen having a predetermined screen size as well as the operation position based on the first data and predetermined screen size and generates an image of the second screen based on the image of the first screen, operation information, and operation position to set the generated image as the third data.

19. A screen generation apparatus that generates a screen which is displayed on a client in association with communication between the client and a server, comprising:

an acquisition section that acquires first data which is data sent from the server to client and which allows the client to display a first screen for receiving operation performed by a user and second data which is data sent from the client to server and which indicates the operation received by the first screen displayed on the client; and

a generation section that generates, based on the first and second data acquired by the acquisition section, third data for displaying a second screen obtained by adding operation information which is based on the second data to the first screen.

20. A screen generation method that executes generation of a screen which is displayed on a client in association with communication between the client and a server in an information processing apparatus other than the client, comprising:

an acquisition step that acquires first data which is data sent from the server to client and which allows the client to display a first screen for receiving operation performed by a user and second data which is data sent from the client to server and which indicates the operation received by the first screen displayed on the client; and

a generation step that generates, based on the first and second data acquired by the acquisition step, third data for displaying a second screen obtained by adding operation information which is based on the second data to the first screen.
