Automated creation and maintenance of video-based documentation

1. A method for generating video-based training documentation, the method comprising the steps of:

creating one or more universal identifiers, associated with one or more user interface elements, for delimiting one or more videos and one or more audios;

creating one or more test scripts based on matching the one or more universal identifiers to one or more task instructions;

creating one or more videos based on the one or more test scripts, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more videos;

creating one or more audios, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more audios; and

combining the one or more audios and the one or more videos, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers, creating a multi-channel media.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more user interface properties files are comprised of the one or more user interface elements, the one or more associated universal identifiers and one or more user interface text in one or more natural languages for creating the one or more videos.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more task properties files are comprised of the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more associated task instructions in one or more natural language for creating the one or more videos and the one or more audios.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

creating one or more closed caption text, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more closed caption text; and

combining the multi-channel media and the one or more closed caption text, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the closed caption text is translated into one or more natural languages and is associated with the one or more universal identifiers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more universal identifiers are markers for functions comprising search, advance and rewind capabilities.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more videos are adaptive to generate alternative videos based on display dimensions.

8. A computer program product for generating video-based training documentation, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to create one or more universal identifiers, associated with one or more user interface elements, for delimiting one or more videos and one or more audios;

program instructions to create one or more test scripts based on matching the one or more universal identifiers to one or more task instructions;

program instructions to create one or more videos based on the one or more test scripts, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more videos;

program instructions to create one or more audios, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more audios; and

program instructions to combine the one or more audios and the one or more videos, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers, creating a multi-channel media.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein one or more user interface properties files are comprised of the one or more user interface elements, the one or more associated universal identifiers and one or more user interface text in one or more natural languages for creating the one or more videos.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein one or more task properties files are comprised of the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more associated task instructions in one or more natural language for creating the one or more videos and the one or more audios.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:

program instructions to create one or more closed caption text, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more closed caption text; and

program instructions to combine the multi-channel media and the one or more closed caption text, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the closed caption text is translated into one or more natural languages and is associated with the one or more universal identifiers.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the one or more universal identifiers are markers for functions comprising search, advance and rewind capabilities.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the one or more videos are adaptive to generate alternative videos based on display dimensions.

15. A computer system for generating video-based training documentation, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to create one or more universal identifiers, associated with one or more user interface elements, for delimiting one or more videos and one or more audios;

program instructions to create one or more test scripts based on matching the one or more universal identifiers to one or more task instructions;

program instructions to create one or more videos based on the one or more test scripts, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more videos;

program instructions to create one or more audios, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more audios; and

program instructions to combine the one or more audios and the one or more videos, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers, creating a multi-channel media.

16. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein one or more user interface properties files are comprised of the one or more user interface elements, the one or more associated universal identifiers and one or more user interface text in one or more natural languages for creating the one or more videos.

17. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein one or more task properties files are comprised of the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more associated task instructions in one or more natural language for creating the one or more videos and the one or more audios.

18. The computer system of claim 15 , further comprising:

program instructions to create one or more closed caption text, based on the one or more universal identifiers and the one or more task instructions, wherein the one or more universal identifiers are marked on the one or more closed caption text; and

program instructions to combine the multi-channel media and the one or more closed caption text, based on synchronizing the one or more universal identifiers.
