Significance level automation
First Claim
1. An automation system, comprising:
- an event detector configured to detect an event affecting execution of an application being monitored by the automation system;
an event analyzer comprising a processor configured to analyze a detected event and determine importance of an action causing the event to operation of the application, and based on the determined importance to assign one of a plurality of predetermined significance levels to the action;
a player configured to reproduce each action assigned a significance level at least as high as a selected replay level and to not reproduce any action assigned a significance level lower than the replay level; and
an event editor configured to change the significance level assigned to an action based on user input.

Abstract
Techniques for using action significance levels in an automation system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an automation system includes an event detector, and event analyzer, and a player. The event detector is configured to detect an event affecting execution of an application being monitored by the automation system. The event analyzer is configured to analyze a detected event and determine importance of an action causing the event to operation of the application. Based on the determined importance, the event analyzer assigns one of a plurality of predetermined significance levels to the action. The player is configured to reproduce each action assigned a significance level at least as high as a selected replay level and to not reproduce any action assigned a significance level lower than the replay level.

10. A method, comprising:
-
executing, by one or more processors, an application program; detecting, by the one or more processors, an event affecting the execution of the application program, wherein the application program is being monitored by an automation system; analyzing the detected event, and determining, by the one or more processors, a degree of importance of an action causing the event to operation of the application; assigning, based on the determined importance, one of a plurality of predetermined significance levels to the action; reproducing each action assigned a significance level at least as high as a selected replay level and not reproducing any action assigned a significance level lower than the replay level; and providing an event editor that enables changing the significance level assigned to an action based on user input. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program that when executed causes one or more computers to:
-
detect an event affecting an application executing on the one or more computers and being monitored by an automation system; analyze the detected event, and determine a degree of importance of an action causing the event to operation of the application; assign, based on the determined importance, one of a plurality of predetermined significance levels to the action; reproduce each action assigned a significance level at least as high as a selected replay level and not reproduce any action assigned a significance level lower than the replay level; and provide an event editor that enables changing the significance level assigned to an action based on user input. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
