Abstract

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: examining data of a first user interactive user interfacing application for interactive engagement; and examining data of a second user interactive user interfacing application for interactive engagement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
examining data of a first user interactive user interfacing application for interactive user engagement;
examining data of a second user interactive user interfacing application for interactive user engagement;
identifying one or more difference between the second user interactive user interfacing application and the first user interactive user interfacing application in dependence on the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application and in dependence on the examining of the second user interactive user interfacing application; and
generating update data for updating the second user interactive user interfacing application in dependence on the one or more difference between the second user interactive user interfacing application and the first user interactive user interfacing application.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interactive user interfacing application is a webpage serving application, wherein the second user interactive user interfacing application is a chatbot application.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interactive user interfacing application is a chatbot application, wherein the second user interactive user interfacing application is a webpage serving application.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the update data includes program code data for updating the second user interactive user interfacing application.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the update data includes development prompting data for prompting a developer user to revise the second user interactive user interfacing application.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a first action state tree data structure characterizing the first user interfacing application.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a first action state tree data structure characterizing the first user interfacing application, wherein the examining data of the second user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the second user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a second action state tree data structure characterizing the second user interfacing application, and wherein the identifying one or more difference between the second user interactive user interfacing application and the first user interactive user interfacing application includes comparing the second action state tree data structure to the first action state tree data structure.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application, the examining data of the second user interactive user interfacing application, the identifying and the generating update data are performed responsively to processing user defined text based data defined by the end user.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application, the examining data of the second user interactive user interfacing application, the identifying and the generating update data are performed responsively to processing user defined text based data defined by the end user, wherein the examining data of the second user interactive user interfacing application results in a determination that the second user interactive user interfacing application is absent from a computing node based system hosting the first user interactive user interfacing application, and wherein the generating update data includes generating program code to instantiate the second user interactive user interfacing application on the computing node based system.

11. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a first action state tree data structure characterizing the first user interfacing application, wherein the examining the data of the second user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the second user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a second action state tree data structure characterizing the second user interfacing application, wherein the second user interfacing application is provided by a chatbot application, wherein the first user interfacing application is provided by a webpage serving application, wherein the first action state tree diagram data structure and the second action state tree diagram data structure define mapping data by which a plurality of conversation stages of the chatbot application have respective associated landing pages of the webpage serving application.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a first action state tree data structure characterizing the first user interfacing application, wherein the examining the data of the second user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the second user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a second action state tree data structure characterizing the second user interfacing application, wherein the second user interfacing application is provided by a chatbot application, wherein the first user interfacing application is provided by a webpage serving application, wherein the first action state tree diagram data structure and the second action state tree diagram data structure define mapping data by which a plurality of conversation stages of the chatbot application have respective associated landing pages of the webpage serving application, wherein the identifying includes identifying with use of the mapping data that the chatbot application is missing a conversation stage associated to a certain landing page of the webpage serving application, and wherein the update data includes update data to add the missing conversation stage to the chatbot application.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the examining data of the first user interactive user interfacing application includes one or more of the following selected from the group consisting of (a) examining programming data defining the first user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a first action state tree data structure characterizing the first user interfacing application, wherein the examining the data of the second user interactive user interfacing application includes examining programming data defining the second user interactive user interfacing application for generation of a second action state tree data structure characterizing the second user inte
