Development-time awareness of production environment dependency injection configuration in a software development or test environment. In a software development or test environment, metadata is retrieved relating to configuration data of injection sources and target injection sites in applications of a configured target production server or a representation of a configured target production server. A configuration data structure is formed that cross-references target injection sites and injectable sources determined from the configuration data, the configuration data structure being associated with the production server and available to the software development or test environment. The configuration data structure is referenced to carry out dependency injection related features.

One or more aspects relate to a screen reader. Markup code for a visual interface containing at least one visual control is located. A screen reader menu for the visual interface is created. A visual control name and screen location, both corresponding to the at least one visual control, are extracted from the markup code. A menu item is generated in the screen reader menu corresponding to the at least one visual control. The menu item is set to simulate an action at the screen location corresponding to the at least one visual control on selection of the menu item whereby on user selection of the menu item the action is simulated at the screen location corresponding to the at least one visual control.

Usability improvements for visual interfaces

One or more aspects relate to providing a user interface menu in a screen reader reading an application. A graphical user interface (GUI) is screen scraped to determine GUI components and a user option menu is created including user options corresponding to the determined GUI components. A corresponding GUI component is activated when a user option is selected.

Screen reader improvements

Methods and systems are provided for integrity verification of an audio-visual data stream. The method includes inserting a watermark into a frame of the visual data stream or into an audio window of a corresponding audio data stream, where the watermark includes: a hash code of the previous frame of the visual data stream and a hash code of the audio window of the audio data stream, and where the audio window corresponds in time to the previous frame of the visual data stream.
