Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for ensuring a user interface specification accurately describes its corresponding user interface. The system links sections of the user interface code with corresponding user interface objects. Furthermore, the system links these sections of the user interface code with corresponding sections of the user interface specification. Upon detecting a modification to the user interface code which reflects an update to the user interface, the system notifies the user that the user interface specification needs to be updated. By linking the user interface objects to the user interface code and linking the user interface code to the corresponding sections of the user interface specification, appropriate modifications to the user interface specification can be recommended or implemented based on the modifications to the corresponding sections of the user interface code, which reflect the changes to the corresponding objects on the user interface.
