Systems and methods for providing feedback for software components

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory device operatively connected to the at least one processor;
• wherein, responsive to execution of program instructions accessible to the at least one processor, the at least one processor is configured to:
• analyze application code for at least one user action event handler associated with at least one object, wherein the application code is for an application graphical user interface (GUI) and the at least one object comprises a GUI component;
• and
• modify each at least one user action event handler located within the application code to contain at least one action configured to handle feedback for the associated at least one object, the feedback comprising user input and an identifier specifying the at least one object, the user input comprising user textual comments;
• wherein invoking the at least one user action event handler triggers the at least one action configured to handle feedback;
• wherein feedback accepted via the at least one action configured to handle feedback is transmitted to at least one repository;
• and
• wherein the at least one action configured to handle feedback comprises at least one pop-up window configured to accept feedback.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code configured to analyze application code for at least one user action event handler associated with at least one object, wherein the application code is for an application graphical user interface (GUI) and the at least one object comprises a GUI component;
• computer readable program code configured to modify each at least one user action event handler located within the application code to contain at least one action configured to handle feedback for the associated at least one object, the feedback comprising user input and an identifier specifying the at least one object, the user input comprising user textual comments;
• and
• computer readable program code configured to trigger the at least one action configured to handle feedback responsive to invoking the at least one user action event handler;
• wherein feedback accepted via the at least one action configured to handle feedback is transmitted to at least one repository;
• and
• wherein the at least one action configured to handle feedback comprises at least one pop-up window configured to accept feedback.
