Description

Business method for cooperated sofware development on online networks by using protected tools for secure}

Using a public network such as the Internet, developers can participate in software development and share the results in real time so that other collaborative developers can work at the same time. It is a technology to be installed on the system, and the output such as source code and documents written by the developer is secured using an encryption method.

Online-based infrastructure such as the Internet is active, general-purpose development tools (IDEs) based on industry standard development methodologies are widely used, and real-time collaboration such as CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) or SVN (Subversion) is possible. Since version control tools (hereinafter referred to as CVS) are widely used and widely used, it is considered that there is a sufficient environment for developing online collaborations over time and space constraints in software development. The present invention utilizes this technical infrastructure to implement by utilizing the technical basis of the general purpose for the implementation of the work is performed on-line when the software is produced offline.

According to the present invention, in the software development method, a plurality of developers develop the software through collaboration and not by the method of resident existing development manpower and develop it, and the service manager verifies the integrity and structure to distribute and register the user. The goal is to implement a series of processes that integrate, install, and use your system.

For the present invention, by using an open online network, such as the Internet, it is possible to access information through a personal terminal such as a personal computer or a laptop and to perform information acquisition and collaboration. It also ensures compatibility by making software using industry-standard universal development tools (IDEs) such as Eclipse, and saves and manages the results created through CVS, an industry-standard version control tool. Configure to enable collaborative processing.

In addition, the written source code is secured so that only authorized users can access it, and the written result is distributed after verifying that it meets the requirements by the verification tool.

Since the existing software development method was an offline development method in which a large number of developers reside, the time-consuming and financial costs are required to find the right person to develop the target system to be implemented, which increases the overall system development cost. come. As most of the systems currently implemented have advanced functions and complex structures, the manpower required for development is gradually required to be segmented and specialized. Therefore, it is very inefficient to have all manpower required for development to reside. It can be seen as a way.

Through the present invention, it is possible to more easily secure a developer suitable for system development and secured developers to develop a target system by developing in a collaborative manner online, thereby helping to achieve time saving and utility of development cost.

Fig. 1 is a functional structural diagram showing the configuration of the whole system. The service system, the developer and the customer are connected via the Internet, and the dotted line represents the relationship associated with each functional unit.

3 is a software verification and distribution registration flow chart illustrating a procedure for verifying whether a result meets requirements.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of software installation and use, which shows the development and verification of the completed product and the application of the result to the target system.

In order to implement the present invention, the service system 101 must be constructed. The service system is again divided into a web service 102 and a development and management tool 103 (hereinafter referred to as a management tool).

Web services provide community and provide various information for developers and customers (clients) to search and proceed with the project. In addition, the web service analyzes the developer's development process and results to determine and manage the developer's rating so that the customer becomes a standard for selecting the developer. This function provides the role to secure the trust between the customer and the developer by using it as a basic data for determining whether the developer participates.

In addition, the web service can be registered and managed projects, and can be classified and registered by the category specified at the time of registration. The registered project is configured to enable information security processing by allowing access with the difference of information queried by development participants and non-participants, and provides a quotation service for estimating development costs between developers and customers who participate in development. Upon completion, a payment system is provided to enable settlement and payment of development costs.

The management tool 103 is a verification tool for verifying whether the developed software is composed of a standard structure suitable for the customer's requirements and presented by the CVS 104, which performs version control and storage functions of the software worked by the developers. 105) and the Repository 106 which stores and manages the software for distribution that has been developed and passed the verification.

The CVS 104 is managed for each project, manages the version of the source file created in the project, and provides inconsistency information in case of inconsistency of the version so that it can be resolved. CVS 104 is interlocked with IDE 111, which is a development tool used by a developer, and the created source code is uploaded through Kermit and downloaded through Update. When uploading, compare the source code of the final version with the version of the source code to be uploaded. If there is a version uploaded by another developer, display a notification to remove the version and upload it. Similarly, it displays a notification so that the version is released and downloaded. In addition to CVS for managing source code, CVS for document management is also provided.

Verification Tool provides the function to conduct test by module or integration of written software. For module requiring test among source files registered in CVS, module unit test or integration test should be performed. This test is conducted by developers who have the authority of PM (Project Manager) among the project developers and selected in advance by selection criteria.

Before developing the software, present the developer with the standard structure suggested by the customer's requirements and service system. The standard structure includes the development tools used, the language used, the code naming method, the directory assignment method, the annotation method, and the final output composition. The customer's requirements provide the development guidelines such as the software's functions, performance, and test items. .

The developer 110 performs a registration procedure using a login account in the web service 102 and passes through an authentication procedure for logging in to access a web service. After accessing the web service, search the project list requested for development, select the project to participate in the development, and apply for support. The information of the developer applying for support is provided in the information on the project's workforce profile so that the client who requested the project can view it and can participate in the project development if approved by the customer or service system administrator.

Once the manpower to carry out the project is secured, developers who are approved to participate in the software development through the development tool 111, and the developed software is stored in the CVS of the service system by uploading and shared with other managers by downloading. Done.

When the development is completed, the verification tool 105 is used to verify whether it is consistent with the previously proposed standard structure. If the verification fails, the contents are notified by a web service or an e-mail, and the developer makes corrections. The verification process verifies whether the customer complies with the customer's requirements and the standard structure suggested by the service system before developing the software.The verification method is a method that the verification tool automatically performs and the administrator views and judges the information provided by the verification tool. Do both methods in parallel. When the verification is completed, it is stored in the repository (106, software repository). Once the project has been verified, a separate notification will be sent to the customer to confirm.

The software output stored in the repository 106 is downloaded by the customer 120 and subjected to an application test with the target system 122 according to its verification method, and then thereafter, if there is no problem, the software output is formally applied. If a problem occurs after the application test, notify it to the web service, and the developers participating in the project repeat the previous process after correcting and correcting.

Figure 2 shows the procedure for the collaborative developer participating in the project to perform the software development and registration, the result 201 is uploaded when there is no problem through the authentication process and version check (202). The CVS 204 where the results are stored is managed on a project-by-project basis and no other project developer is allowed access.

3 is a procedure in which the service manager registers for verification and distribution of the completed product, and the structure verification such as conformity of the customer's requirements and the implementation of the standard structure using the verification tool on the result created and registered by the developer. (302) The procedure is followed to determine whether to register based on the verification results. When verification is completed, Repository (304) is registered. If not, it is notified to the developer and re-registered after the modification and supplementary procedure.

4 shows the procedure of installing and using the software by the customer who requested the development, and if the result is downloaded from the registered repository 404 and the internal test 402 is performed, the target system to be applied to the target system ( 405). If an error occurs, the service system may request a fix.

For security, in FIG. 1, when a developer writes and stores source code in the IDE 111, the developer automatically encrypts and transmits the stored source code to the CVS 104 in the server. To implement this, the plug-in with encryption processing function and server transfer function is provided in IDE, and the developer must install this plug-in to use the service.

In addition, the plug-in may be configured to prevent copying and pasting of source code created by the IDE 111 or to copy only a certain number of lines or less.

For the above security function, the developer checks the response information of the verification agent program embedded in the plug-in when the user authenticates the IDE and uses the server to process the authentication.

1. CVS (Concurrent Version System): Manages the created program for each user, manages the version information of the program, and provides the function to solve the problem if the version is not correct. It functions to finally store and manage the source of the software written by the developer. CVS is divided into CVS for managing source code and CVS for managing documents.
2. IDE (Intergrated Development Environment): Software integrated development tools include Eclipse, Visual Studio, NetBean, etc., and can be integrated with CVS.
