Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a software development and design system based on online outsourcing,

More particularly, the present invention relates to software development based on online outsourcing which can distribute and announce software development and design work on-line and integrally manage a software development process based on an unspecified number of developers' Design system.

The biggest problem with software production today is that there are too many people, or developers, to do so. In development work that uses tools that are currently used in most software development procedures and development, developers must perform source coding tasks to implement the business logic under the direction of the requester (business practitioner) or software designer, All functions required for implementing business logic such as database I / O, hardware control, operating system control, and security management should be created for each module.

It may seem too obvious to those who are familiar with the existing technology paradigm that these things do not seem to be a great job, but there are two false assumptions about the development method that make the task of software development extremely inefficient: .

The first false premise is that the developer receives instructions from the requesting party. Of course, this is an unavoidable assumption based on the development tools and platforms that have been used so far. However, this is only taken for granted, that is, a practitioner who has a clear understanding of the functions that business software should have in terms of his / her long experience and knowledge of the business. Many of which are complicated and difficult to address programming language problems, developers have to address the problem because of the actual software development and the use of various problems have occurred. Apart from the problems that arise from the communication between the two layers, which is completely different from the basic knowledge and mind, and even the professional abilities they have, they do not know much about the business logic, which is the core competency in software development for business. The fact that all the real work is done by professional developers is itself a bigger problem in itself.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for integrating system of software development as a whole to provide systematic information sharing among related organizations (management, development, And to provide a software development and design system based on online outsourcing that can formalize the request and provision of technical support, test, manual, and design service for development software.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining software development and design environment based on an online outsourcing according to the present invention. First, the client 10 connected to the network, the application server 20, and the database 30 are configured. Users can access the application server 20 via the Internet or an intranet using the client 10 supported by the TCP / IP network to execute software development related information and services.

The application server (20) comprises a user authentication module (21) for authenticating a user with login information input from the client (10) and granting a system use right according to a user; At least one functional module 23-2 for providing management and sharing of information on the entire process from planning to commercialization,

8); (22) configured to receive data from at least one corresponding function module (23-28) in response to a request of the client (10) to which the use right is granted, and transmit the processed data to the client (10) .

The database 30 stores software development-related data transmitted from the application server 20 and provides the stored data to the application server 20. The software development and design environment according to the present invention is based on the application server 20 for supporting the Internet, the intranet, the distributed environment, and the component environment. When the database 30 exists outside the system, And each function module also has a structure capable of operating in a physically separated system.

The functional modules 23 to 28 are subdivided into software development business units to provide management and sharing of information on all processes from planning to commercialization. The software modules include a software information management module 23, a technical support management module 24, A development resource management module 25, a shipping information management module 26, a logistics management module 27, a design support management module 28, and the like

have.

The software information management module 23 manages and provides development software and sub-module information. The technical support management module 24 informs the technical information of the corresponding software about the technical support request made by the requestor when a technical request item or a problem that occurs in each software development occurs, It provides a function that allows the concerned parties to confirm all processes until completion.

The development resource management module 25 manages detailed information on hardware and software necessary for software development, and provides information on hardware and software resources input to the development software so that efficient resource management can be performed. The shipment information management module 26 manages and provides information on defects, defect rates, and inspection schedules that occurred during the shipping process or the product testing process of the developed software.

The logistics management module 27 manages and provides the logistics work information related to the product manual and the commercialization of the developed software. The design support management module 28 manages and provides design support information such as a design request and a design request processing result necessary for software development. Here, each of the function modules 23 to 28 stores information inputted from the manager of the corresponding module, so that related parties can receive information services of currently developed software. The information of the developed software is categorized and managed according to version, submodule, and information type, and it can be inquired by the development related organization that needs information.

Here, the function modules 23 to 28 are integrated based on the development software information due to the nature of the service provided by the system, so that the function modules 23 to 28 are shown in a form dependent on the developed software information. However, each functional module 23-28 divided into functions or business units in the system is designed not to be dependent on other functional modules, and can operate independently of other functional modules.

However, since the functions of integration and connection of the function modules 23 to 28 in the system are performed through the information transfer module 22, each function module 23 28 is dependent on the information transfer module 22. Therefore, only the compatibility with the information transmission module 22 can be taken into account when adding, changing, and removing each function module, so that the maintenance of the function module is easy. Each of the function modules 23 - For example, the information processed in the software information management module 23 is as follows.

<Basic software information>

- Software ID, software name, development department, software type, development outline

<Software sub module information>

- Software ID, Sub-module ID, Module name, Development team, Module version, Language, Platform information, Development outline

<Software sub module detailed technical information>

- Sub module ID, development OS, development HW, development platform, development language, development tool, core technology, utilization technology, supplementary technology

<Status of software development manpower>

- Sub-module ID, development manager, designer, developer, developer (outsourcing)

In the classified information, various ID fields are the main key values, and other fields can serve as key values in the system.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a software development integration support process according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, a software development business person accesses a software development integration support system according to the present invention and selects a function module 23 to 28 It shows the entire flow of the process of performing work or inquiring information.

The user accesses the software development integration support system (i.e., the application server 20) according to the present invention via the network using the client 10 and inputs login information (ID, Password) (S200). The user authentication module 21 confirms the user through the input login information and grants a system use right according to the user (S201). If the user authentication is normally performed, the task menu is output (S202). If the user selects a task menu that is limited according to the granted use rights, the function module 23-28 associated therewith selects (S203, S204) to execute necessary services to perform tasks or inquire information (S205 to S210). If it is desired to execute the service of the other function modules 23 to 28 (S211), the function modules 23 to 28 are selected again to execute the service.

4 is a diagram illustrating software development according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, mutual transmission of information managed in the system by the functional modules 23 to 28 and transmission of information to the client 10 are performed through the information transmission module 22. The information to be transmitted has a certain format through the information transmission module 22. The information transmission module 22 converts the data fields generated in the function modules 23 to 28 into an expandable multi-matrix data structure . If the functional modules 23 to 28 read the information data requested by the other functional modules 23 to 28 or the client 10 and sequentially transmit the information data to the information transmission module 22 in a sequential manner, The information transmission module 22 cuts a series of data to be transmitted into a matrix in the form of a meaningful information unit and then transmits the data to the other function modules 23 to 28 or the client 10. Even if two or more characteristics require processed information from different function modules 23 to 28, the process of creating a matrix is the same, and only a necessary field is selected in each created matrix, and a new data matrix is created by merging . Therefore, even when it is necessary to receive and process information from the other function modules 23 to 28, it is possible to select and use only necessary field data in a data matrix.

In Fig. 4, a white arrow indicates a direction in which information can be transmitted, and a black arrow indicates a current transmission direction of data. When the technical support management module 24 requests necessary software information and resource information, the data 123 generated by the software information management module 23 and the data 125 generated by the development resource management module 25 are sequentially The information is transmitted to the information transmission module 22 and processed through the processing (selection → removal → merging), and the information 224 of the multi-matrix data structure thus created is transmitted to the technical support management module 24.

FIG. 5 is a detailed flowchart illustrating a process from information request to information provision in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, the information request module refers to the function modules 23 to 28 selected in FIG. 2, and the selected information providing module refers to function modules 23 to 28 for providing information requested by the information request module. Here, since the information request module can also be an information providing module, the function modules 23 to 28, which are selected information providing modules, include an information request module.

In FIG. 3, the client selecting the function module 23-28 according to the task inputs the request information and requests the information. The selected function module 23-28 receiving the request information of the client selects the information providing module according to the request information, transmits the key / key field / field for the information required by the selected information providing module, do. The selected information providing module performs information search using the transmitted key / key field / field value to check whether request information exists. If the request information exists, the data field is selected to read the data, and the read data is transmitted to the information transmission module 22. If there is no request information, data indicating absence of information is transmitted. The information transmission module 22 receiving the data from the information provision module checks whether data exists in the received data, processes the data if data exists, and transmits a data reception acknowledgment signal to the information request module. The information request module confirming the receipt of data checks whether additional information is needed. If additional information is not needed, the information transmission module 22 transmits the completed information to the information request module. If additional information is required as a result of the additional information check, the information request module requests information in the same manner to the other information providing module, and the information transmission module 22, which has received the data transmitted from the other information providing module, After confirming that the information is additional information, if the information is additional information, the newly added information is added to the previously processed data through the data merging process to complete the information. The completed information is sent to the information request module and output to the corresponding client requesting the information.

5, a process of requesting technical support by selecting a technical support management module 24 in order to solve a problem occurred in a software development process will be described.

The technical support management module 24 reads the basic information required for the technical support request from the other function module and requests the additional information through the technical support application inputted by the user. The technical support management module 24 requests basic information, technical information, and hardware / software information of the software under development to which the user belongs in the software information management module 23 and the development resource management module 25 for technical support basic information do. The software information management module 23 receives the information request and transmits the software sub-module information and the technical information to the information transmission module 22 with the user's belonging team as a key value. Next, when the software sub module information is a key value and the development resource management module 25 requests the hardware / software information being used by the development software, the development resource management module 25 searches the information and transmits the data to the information transmission module 22 ) To complete the process. Data received from the two modules 23 and 25 are processed by the information transmission module 22, and are generated as requested information.

The technical support management module 24 reads the generated information, displays it on the application form screen, and registers it in the system with the technical support application input data together with the additional information inputted by the technical support applicant.

Therefore, information processing (selection, removal, and merging) using information matrices can be performed independently for each module, and information matrices generated from data transmitted from two or more modules are merged through a given key field value By selecting the desired field (O display) of each matrix in the process, unnecessary data (X display) are naturally removed and a new information matrix is created.

When the information matrix generation is completed, the information request module passes the matrix and matrix information to read and process the desired data. In the case of a multidimensional matrix, access to individual elements can be achieved by combining numbers and corresponding fields or index names. In the case of a two-dimensional matrix, only numbers using information nodes are possible.
