A method is proposed for operating a mobile computing device. A potentially dangerous condition for a user of the mobile computing device is detected according to its position. A responsiveness level of the user (to recognize the potentially dangerous condition) is determined according to one or more operative parameters of the mobile computing device. One or more interactive functionalities of the mobile computing device are controlled in response to the potentially dangerous condition according to the responsiveness level. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a mobile computing device for implementing the method is proposed.

A technique for operating a user interface automation framework includes accessing a datastore that includes semantic annotations with a dataset generator. The dataset generator generates input values for a test dataset from the datastore based on the semantic annotations.

A technique for mapping objects of a user scenario with objects of a user interface includes registering a user scenario with a user interface automation framework. The user scenario including a first object that is also included in a first user interface. The first object has an associated semantically annotated first field and the user scenario includes a list of actions for objects of the first user interface. The technique also includes generating a second user interface from the first user interface by modifying the first object to create a second object, which has an associated semantically annotated second field. Finally, the technique includes mapping the first object to the second object based on the first and second fields.
