USER INTERFACE INDICATORS FOR CHANGED USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for user interface flagging, comprising the acts of:
- setting at least one first visual indicator on or adjacent to at least one user interface element of a user interface when code that generates the user interface element has been added to a software application or modified so as to change at least one of a visual characteristic, an auditory characteristic, and a functional characteristic of the user interface element.

Abstract
Systems and methods for user interface (UI) flagging. The methods involve setting a first visual indicator on or adjacent to a first UI element of a UI when code that generates the first UI element has been added to an application or modified so as to change at least one functional characteristic of the first UI element. The methods also involve setting a second visual indicator on a first UI object of the application when code that generates the first UI object has been modified so as to remove a second UI element therefrom. The visual indicators are set by adding UI flagging code to the code that generates the first UI element and/or first UI object. Also, third visual indicators can be set on or adjacent to second UI objects that have “trails” to the first UI element and/or the first UI object.

21. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the following operations comprising:
setting at least one first visual indicator on or adjacent to at least one user interface element of a user interface when code that generates the user interface element has been added to a software application or modified so as to change at least one of a visual characteristic, an auditory characteristic, and a functional characteristic of the user interface element.
