A tool for automatic pre-detection of potential software product impact according to a statement placed in a software development system, and for automatically recommending for resolutions which accesses a repository of information containing a history of changes and effects of the changes for a software project; using a received a statement in natural language to perform a natural language search of the repository; according to the findings of the search of the repository, using a machine learning model to compose an impact prediction regarding the received statement relative to the findings; and automatically placing an advisory notice regarding to the impact prediction into the software development system, wherein the advisory notice is associated with the received statement.

A technique for generating testcases includes receiving a new product specification for an application. A noun-verb pairing is performed on the new product specification. An attempt is made to locate a similar noun-verb pairing in a previous product specification for the application that corresponds to the new noun-verb pairing. In response to locating the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification, a new testcase is generated by modifying an existing testcase that is associated with the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification. In response to not locating the similar noun-verb pairing in the previous product specification, the fact that the new testcase was not generated is indicated.

A computer-implemented method of sorting electronic messages can include, for each of a plurality of electronic messages received in an electronic messaging client, determining availability of a sender of each electronic message and determining an order for the electronic messages within the electronic messaging client according to availability of the sender of each electronic message. The method further can include displaying the electronic messages within a view of the electronic messaging client in the order.
