A method may include receiving user instrumentation data and code instrumentation data from at least one user computing device such that the user and code instrumentation data is associated with performance of a user action of an application. The user instrumentation data may include a name identification of the user action and an input type identification of the initiation of the user action. The method may include storing the user and code instrumentation data in a database. The method may include receiving a search query associated with a past user action made in the application. The method may include retrieving, from the database, a set of one or more user actions based on the search query. The method may include presenting a user interface that includes an abstracted representation of the retrieved set of user actions.

Instrumentation of user actions in software applications

A method may be performed to receive and store in a database user instrumentation data and code instrumentation data from a user computing device. The user and code instrumentation data may be associated with performance of a user action of an application. The user instrumentation data may include a name identification of the user action, an input type identification of the initiation of the user action, and context data of the user action as executed. The user instrumentation data may be stored as associated with a user identification. The method may also include receiving a request from a requesting computing device to identify at least one past user action of the user. In response to receiving the request, the method may include querying the database and providing results of the query to the requesting computing device.
