Method and system for a simulation authoring environment implemented in creating a simulation application

A method for creating a simulation comprising:

• monitoring communication between an end device and a real device during a communication sequence, said communication sequence relating to a real-life interaction with said real device, said communication comprising a plurality of inputs from said end device that is directed to said real device, and a plurality of outputs from said real device to said plurality of inputs, each of said plurality of outputs generated in response to one of said plurality of inputs;
• capturing said communication between said end device and said real device;
• determining all permutations for said communication sequence, forming a plurality of permutations for said communication sequence, each of said plurality of permutation comprising a unique combination and order of inputs and their corresponding outputs;
• and
• generating a simulation application for simulating an output of said real device based on said communication associated with said communication sequence, said simulation application able to present an identical output to a particular input corresponding to a particular permutation for said communication sequence.

A computer system comprising a processor, a memory unit, and a display screen wherein said memory contains instructions that when executed are operable to:

• monitor communication between an end device and a real device during a communication sequence, said communication comprising a plurality of line-commands from said end device that are directed to said real device, and a plurality of outputs from said real device, each of said plurality of outputs generated in response to one of said plurality of line-commands;
• capture said communication between said end device and said real device;
• and
• generate a simulation application for simulating an output of said real device based on said communication associated with said communication sequence, said simulation application able to present an identical output from said real device that corresponds to a particular line-command from said plurality of line-commands.
