A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product determines a testing regime for program code created in a development system. A risk factor of a user of the development system is calculated based on information relating to previous activities of the user. The calculated risk factor, which describes a likelihood of the user damaging the development system, is used to determine a testing regime for testing program code.

Exemplary embodiments for use in a communications source network node for identifying a destination port associated with a destination network node to which a selected network link is connected. The embodiments include receiving a communications protocol packet at a destination network node via said selected network link connected to the destination port associated with the destination network node; inspecting the packet for a predetermined identifier; and if the predetermined identifier is present in said packet then outputting an indication that the identifier has been received comprising an identification of the destination port via which the packet was received. The indication is output by at least one of illumination for a pre-set period of a destination switch associated with the destination port, and by an output provided via a user interface of a network interface controller associated with the destination port.

A method for controlling a graphical user interface (GUI) comprises preparing a window for displaying at an intended display location in a window display operation. The location of GUI control elements of the window at the intended display location and the location of a graphical cursor are identified. GUI control element location and the graphical cursor location are compared. The window display operation is modified if the two coincide, for example by moving the window display location so that they do not coincide.
