Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a user tip during a running of an application is provided. The method includes: determining, by a computer processor, whether a user interface display screen displayed or to be displayed during the running of the application is similar to a screen template with which a tip object is associated; and responsive to a positive result of the determination, outputting, by the processor, an element defined by the tip object during the running of the application. The screen template to which the user interface display screen is determined to be similar to is also determined to be similar to other different user interface display screens.

Abstract: A system and method for generation, modification, or manipulation of user interface display screens includes a processor storing display screen templates and instantiation data structures which reference the templates for instantiation of the respective ones of the display screen templates for a plurality of different display screens, where the templates can correspond to respective sub-screens of one or more display screens. The processor can analyze captured display screen data to determine whether the data corresponds to a previously stored one of the templates, and, responsive to a positive result of the determination, store a new instantiation data structure referencing the template to which the data is determined to correspond and otherwise generate a new template to be referenced by the instantiation data structure. Modifications and object associations to a plurality of different display screens can be effected by modification of, or association with, a single one of the templates.

Abstract: A computer implemented system and method provides for responding to an instruction to a print screen instruction by generating and storing an image of user interface components that had been displayed in a display area when the instruction was received; and storing in association with the image original text that had been displayed in the display area and on the user interface components when the instruction was received, where the first image does not include a representation of the original text. Output of the screen copy includes, for example, overlaying some or all of the text, or which some or all can be in modified form, over the image.

Abstract: During execution of a program, a processor may identify one or more object class instantiations that are associated by the program with a program state obtained during the execution of the program, may store in a file a description of the identified object class instantiations, where at least a portion of the execution of the program is simulatable based on the file, and may modify the first file in response to a user interaction with a graphical representation of one of the described object class instantiations, where a modified version of the portion of the execution of the program is simulatable based on the modified first file.

Abstract: A system and method for development of a computer application and of a computer application simulation is disclosed. During execution of a program, a processor may identify one or more object class instantiations that are associated by the program with a program state obtained during the execution of the program, may store in a file a description of the identified object class instantiations, where at least a portion of the execution of the program is simulatable based on the file, and may modify the first file in response to a user interaction with a graphical representation of one of the described object class instantiations, where a modified version of the portion of the execution of the program is simulatable based on the modified first file.
