Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of software system development, and in particular to a tool, method and process for online deployment of a software system based on a PAAS platform. Background Art

[0002] With the development of Internet technology, various application software on the market are constantly affecting our work and life. The same is true for business operations. More and more application software plays a role in business operations and helps enterprises solve various problems in production and operation. In response to the above market needs, the solution is usually to customize a software system that meets user needs based on user needs. This method solves user needs to a certain extent, but the cost and time required for software system development are also relatively high. When there are interface modifications or changes in requirements, it is necessary to redevelop, which makes it difficult to improve development efficiency and reduce development costs. Traditional application development takes a lot of time and money, but the emergence of low-code development platforms has changed this situation. Low-code development is a modular approach to application development that can effectively reduce application development time. It can be developed using a reusable, component-based architecture, which speeds up the development and delivery cycle of applications. When building applications with reusable components, developers will have the opportunity to use existing components in different applications, not just the original development application. The component here is a reusable object that converts a piece of code into a module that can be used in different applications with similar functions. By adding these modules to new applications, developers can avoid repeated coding for similar common functions. This flexibility greatly reduces the testing and development effort and time.
