Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for capturing a state of a user interface. A state of the user interface presented by an application is identified, the user interface comprising a plurality of user interface elements. An indication of a modification to the user interface or an indication of user activity is received, where the indication of user activity is associated with one of the plurality of user interface elements. The state of the user interface is modified based on at least one of the indication of a modification to the user interface or user activity.

Capturing user interactions

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for determining whether a user is a human agent or a non-human agent. A user is initially classified as a human or non-human agent based on user request properties. Sensor data is received from the user device and used to determine whether the user is to be reclassified as a human agent or non-human agent. Based on the sensor data, the user is then reclassified as a human agent or non-human agent. A service is adapted based on the classification.

Automatic detection of human and non-human activity

The ranking quality of a ranked list may be evaluated. In an example embodiment, a method is implemented by a system to access log data, ascertain which entries of a ranked list are skipped, and determine a ranking quality metric from the skipped entries. More specifically, log data that reflects user interactions with a ranked list having multiple entries is accessed. The user interactions include at least indications of which of the multiple entries are selected entries. It is ascertained which entries of the multiple entries of the ranked list are skipped entries based on the selected entries. The ranking quality metric for the ranked list is determined responsive to the skipped entries.
