Abstract
A system and method to generate an audit trail based on operation of a target application. The system includes a computing device operable to execute the target application. The target software generates user interfaces audit data in response to user inputs. The audit data generated by the target application is stored. An audit visualization framework reads the audit database and creates a video playback file of user actions that occur as the user interacts with the audited target application.
Claims17
A system to generate an audit trail based on operation of a target application, the system comprising:
- a computing device operable to execute the target application, the computing device including an input device and a display, wherein the target application generates a plurality of user interfaces on the display and audit data in response to user inputs received from the input device;
- a memory coupled to the computing device to store the audit data generated by the target application;
- and
- an auditing device coupled to the memory and the computing device, the auditing device operable to generate a video file of the operation of the target application based on one of a plurality of templates, each of the templates corresponding to one of the user interfaces, and the audit data generated from a user input received from the input device, the user input associated with one of the user interfaces.
A method of providing a visual audit trail of operating a target application, the method comprising:
- executing the target application from a computing device, the target application generating audit data associated with the actions of a user operating the target application;
- storing the audit data in a database on a storage device;
- accessing a template associated with a user interface generated by the target application;
- and
- generating an audit video file from the template and the audit data, the audit video indicative of the actions of the user operating the target application.
