The current surge in the development of web applications highlights the necessity of incorporating user-specific preferences into the design process. An innovative approach to improving these applications involves the analysis of interaction data recorded by browsers, such as the number of mouse clicks and keystrokes. The data thus obtained provides valuable insight into user behavior, enabling effective personalization of web applications. The WebTraceSense project proposes the development of a web platform designed to facilitate the customization of the visualization of interaction data from websites. The platform will include a dynamic visualization component, which will support the identification of user behaviors, and a DevOps cycle, which will help streamline software cycle processes. This article presents a case study for the examination of user interaction logs from a visual data analysis tool, utilizing the functionalities of the WebTraceSense platform to facilitate the identification of behavioral trace patterns.
