Abstract: We present an automated tool that can be used to construct conceptual maps of business web applications. This conceptual map depicts in an abstract, hierarchical way the possible navigation and operational paths in the UI (i.e. User Interface) of the web application. Our tool discovers this conceptual map by navigating automatically through the UI of the target business web application and by mapping UI operations to conceptual operations in a database. The output product of our tool is this conceptual map represented in a graphical or serialized form. This conceptual map can be used for documenting a business web application so that new users of the web application quickly gain the necessary knowledge to navigate through the UI screens of the application and to operate the application. It can also be used for developing RPA (i.e. Robotic Process Automation) solutions that automate process execution on that business web application. This tool comes in the form of a browser extension.
