Abstract
Visualizing user interfaces specified by source code includes executing, using a development application, source code including a segment of source code specifying a user interface and, responsive to executing the segment of source code, generating, using a processor, a first screenshot including the user interface. The first screenshot is correlated with the segment of source code. The first screenshot is stored in association with the segment of source code.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a query from a user;
- receiving search results based upon a search of a screenshot repository using the query;
- presenting the search results to the user;
- receiving a selection, from the user, of at least a portion of a screenshot from the search results;
- obtaining, from a source code repository, source code corresponding to the selection;
- and
- forwarding the source code to the user.
A computer hardware system, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations:
- receiving a query from a user;
- receiving search results based upon a search of a screenshot repository using the query;
- presenting the search results to the user;
- receiving a selection, from the user, of at least a portion of a screenshot from the search results;
- obtaining, from a source code repository, source code corresponding to the selection;
- and
- forwarding the source code to the user.
A computer program product, comprising
- a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon,
- the program code executable by a hardware processor to perform the following:
- receiving a query from a user;
- receiving search results based upon a search of a screenshot repository using the query;
- presenting the search results to the user;
- receiving a selection, from the user, of at least a portion of a screenshot from the search results;
- obtaining, from a source code repository, source code corresponding to the selection;
- and
