Abstract
Computer systems and methods for generating and interacting with a micro-service framework are provided. A micro-service corresponds to one or more deep link/API calls that carry out some particular function. A static analysis of an app is conducted, from one or more starting sources of the app to identify one or more valid and feasible execution paths, as well as corresponding input parameters within the app. Each valid execution path with corresponding input parameters represent a 'deep link' or 'API' for that app. The information regarding the deep link is collected and stored as a micro-service in a micro-service catalog. A micro-service framework is implemented that receives a micro-service request (i.e., a request that the micro-service be carried out on behalf of a computer user) from a UX client and executes that micro-service request via execution of the deep link.
