A software development system develops a product from core library of source code elements, the core library being categorized into components having one or more features. A configurator develops configuration state data based on a designated platform type and the source code elements. A graphical user interface displays a visual and logical representation of the product according to the configuration state data, includine visual indications of any unresolved dependencies. A product make routine then generates the product from the source code elements according to the configuration state data.

A system and method configured to provide access to and management of information from a plurality of third party software development systems from a single application, where each software development system has a unique data module. Data is retrieved from third party software development tools and cached in a temporary repository to be merged and linked. Changes made are temporary until saved, at which point the changes are saved back to the software development system that originated the data. The system provides interactive manipulation and a consolidated view of merged data for more efficient management, collaboration and real-time editing without going into each individual software development system. This set up embraces and enhances the agile software development interaction while overcoming the software administration, management and maintenance issues of having a plurality of software development tools across a variety of project teams and locations, including geographically disperse locations.

An enterprise component-based software development system includes a component platform with a number of development tools and services that enable rapid and straightforward development of component-based systems. The component platform describes a middle tier architecture for a multi-tier, multi-user application. It defines the services and facilities as well as the structure in which components can execute. It helps to provide an extensible platform for the construction, management and execution of component-based software. A messaging platform facilitates communication between different computers. When a component requests a service from another component, the request is serialized and encoded into a platform-independent language such as XML. The XML-encoded message is transmitted over the Internet using an HTTP protocol to a receiving computer, which validates the message and delivers it to the component providing the requested service. Since XML is a platform and architecture independent language, requests processed in this way can be used by a wide variety of disparate systems.

A version control system for managing versioned files comprises a central server storing a repository of the versioned files. At least one proxy is connected to the central server. Each proxy includes a read-only cache for storing data from the repository. At least one client is connected to each of the proxies. Modifications to the versioned files may only be made by the central server.

Data flow graph representation is combined with message passing and delegation, a stackless execution model, and a real-time compiler technology, to provide an improved software development and distribution paradigm. Polymorphic objects represent nodes that can be reconfigured, replaced, and/or modified as needed. Complex functionality is achieved by passing messages among nodes. Authored content is published by replacing interactive nodes with fixed-value nodes as desired. Software representations can be translated among various isomorphic formats, including data flow graphs and scripts, without loss of information or modifiability.

A method and system is described for managing the development of software source code, and in addition, collecting useful metrics about the development process. A first source code is provided in a desired state. The desired state may be the requirement that the source code can be built or the desired state may be the requirement that the source code can be built and pass one or more tests. A second source code is then received. The second source may be a modified copy of the source code. It is then determined whether the second source code is in the desired state, and the first source code is updated using the second source code in response to the second source code being in the desired state. Metrics that may be collected include: the name of a task, time to complete the task, line of code involved, etc.

In general, in one aspect, a method for developing software by contest includes hosting a series of contests for the agile development of a software application by contest. In one embodiment, the method includes holding a contest for the development of a wireframe, holding a contest for the development of a static prototype, and holding a contest for the development of a working prototype. In some embodiments, the contests are repeated so as to iteratively modify the software application to better meet the customer's needs. In some embodiments, the working prototype is the final implementation of the software application. In some embodiments, a competition is held for the development of an application specification based on the working prototype.

A mobile software development kit (“SDK”) executes on a mobile device that interfaces with a commerce network. The mobile SDK includes an interface to a host application on the commerce network, and an interface to a merchant application executing on the mobile device. The mobile SDK receives from the host application a check-in of the mobile device to a merchant, and an availability of new user objects, and provides the check-in and new user objects to the merchant application.

The invention discloses a method, device and system for software development based on micro services and belongs to the technical field of software development. The method comprises the steps that to-be-developed software is decomposed into multiple micro services, and a micro service framework is constructed; each micro service is taken as an independent unit for development, debugging, deployment and running and is developed independently; and by the micro service framework, registration, finding, calling and monitoring between the multiple micro services are achieved, and the to-be-developed software can be developed. The device comprises a micro service decomposition unit and a micro service framework construction unit. The system comprises a micro service runtime container and a local service registration center. The method, device and system can reduce the development difficulty of a large and complicated service system, and can overcome the problems that deployment cost of a traditional JAR packet or OSGI mode is low, the system expansibility is poor and resources are wasted.

A portable communication device may include a mobile application executing in an application execution environment and a secure application executing in a trusted execution environment. The secure application may receive, from the mobile application, a storage request to store sensitive data. The storage request may include an encrypted data type identifier and an encrypted sensitive data. The secure application may decrypt the encrypted data type identifier and the encrypted sensitive data using a transport key, and re-encrypt the sensitive data using a storage key. The re-encrypted sensitive data can then be stored in a memory of the portable communication device which is outside the trusted execution environment.

A debugging system running on a host device uses an embedded target-side network analyzer to acquire communications information such as packets. The target-side network analyzer logs and analyzes packets by obtaining data from the target's Internet Protocol (IP) stack when diagnostic functions are invoked at breakpoints. This allows display, logging, analysis and other uses of decoded network traffic. This approach can be used in applications (e.g., wireless or those using protocols such as RADIUS and PPP, etc.) where identifying and intercepting traffic to or from a specific target device may be difficult or impossible. With this approach developers can analyze network traffic in real time without any special hardware.
