  • Patent number: 11221862
    Abstract: Data can be captured from a live web application to populate a demo application. In an example, automated input is provided to user interface touch points of a live application, and corresponding responses are captured. These responses are reformatted into a convention of the demo application, and used to populate demo response files. Then, when a demo application operates, it retrieves, processes, and displays information in these demo response files.
