Capturing and replaying application sessions using resource files

摘要

A capture and replay system identifies images displayed during an application session. A parser may generate Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code from an application resource file or from the JSON post made by the application. A replay engine may use the HTML code to recreate at least some of the screens displayed during the application session. The capture and replay system may dynamically identify images that are not reproduced from the resources database and request an agent/(s) to asynchronously upload the image files associated with the images. The replay engine may use the uploaded image files to replay the application session. The capture and replay system may capture application sessions more efficiently by reproducing images from the resource file instead of capturing the images during the original application session and by dynamically requesting image files for the images were are not previously reproduced from the resource file. Once an image file is uploaded to server, it does not need to be requested again from any other agent.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory configured to store client events from an application session; and a processing device configured to: identify the client events associated with image changes during the application session; generate an image generation file including image code from an application resource file to generate one or more images from the application session; identify the image code from the image generation file associated with the identified client events; when none of the image code from the image generation file is associated with the identified client events, generate image code from the identified client events; use the image code to render the image changes; and replay the application session by combining the client events with the images.
