ABSTRACT:
A solution for managing a program execution is provided. During execution of a program, macro data and error data can be generated and stored. The macro data includes a set of execution entries, each of which includes data for a user interface task for a user interface object and a time for the user interface task. The error data, if any, includes a set of failure entries, each of which includes data for an error event and a time for the error event. A failure entry can be subsequently correlated with at least one execution entry based on the corresponding times. Further, relationship data and/or the like can be used to generate a test case, which can enable the user interface tasks that led up to the error event to be recreated.
