Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for controlling generation of change notifications to the one or more users in a collaborative authoring environment. An automated mechanism is provided to detect the change performed in the artifact. The one or more users who performed changes in the past with the changed artifact are identified. One or more pre-defined parameters, such as contribution, ownership, recency, and longevity, may be used to compute relevancy of the changes made in the changed artifact to determine the qualifying one or more users to be notified. Notifications are generated and delivered to the one or more qualifying other users assessed on the one or more pre-defined parameters.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for testing a code portion. A contemplated method includes: providing a workspace, at a user interface, for testing a code portion; configuring the workspace to execute the code portion; analyzing the code portion to determine at least one defining aspect of the code portion; based on the determining of at least one defining aspect, determining one or more resources referenced in the code portion; and ensuring availability of the one or more resources referenced in the code portion. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for preventing sharing of sensitive information through code repositories are provided herein. A method includes detecting one or more items of sensitive information in a check-in associated with a given user in a shared version management system; automatically refactoring the one or more items of sensitive information in the check-in by externalizing the one or more items of sensitive information as an encrypted file; and upon acceptance by the user of one or more changes to the check-in, automatically (i) decrypting the encrypted file using one or more code repository credentials associated with the given user, and (ii) incorporating the one or more items of sensitive information into the check-in.
