Simulating Human Usage of a User Interface

A computer system for user interface testing, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media configured to store computer program code;
• and
• one or more computer processors configured to access said computer program code and operate as instructed by said computer program code, said computer program code including:
• accessing code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to access a previously trained machine learning model trained with traces of interactions between one or more users and a user interface, the interactions including one or more timestamps of user interactions with the user interface, actions by each user associated with the user interface, and metadata associated with user interactions;
• generating code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to generate, using the previously trained machine learning model, a simulated interaction of a simulated agent utilizing the user interface;
• encoding code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to encode the simulated interaction as an input trace to a user interface;
• and
• inputting code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to input the encoded simulated interaction into the user interface for automated testing of the user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for user interface testing, the computer program configured to cause one or more computer processors to:

• access a previously trained machine learning model trained with traces of interactions between one or more users and a user interface, the interactions including one or more timestamps of user interactions with the user interface, actions by each user associated with the user interface, and metadata associated with user interactions;
• generate using the previously trained machine learning model a simulated interaction of a simulated agent utilizing the user interface;
• encode the simulated interaction as an input trace to a user interface;
• and
• input the encoded simulated interaction into the user interface for automated testing of the user interface.
