Automatic Software Development as a Service (ASDaaS)

International audienceCloud-based services have become a norm for business application development. With Cloud Computing and the convergence toward Everything as a Service (XaaS), we no longer consider the classical context of application development, where IT teams or integrators are solicited. Current approaches in Cloud environments are usually designed for a specific Cloud platform; moreover, they are only designed for technical users. To overcome the lack of generic and complete methodology for business application development, we propose a methodology for Automatic Software Development as a Service (ASDaaS), which is designed for non-technical users and promotes services reuse. In this paper, we focus on the phase of business software requirement gathering of our methodology. We define the requirement vocabulary based on linked data principles, and extend the Linked USDL language to describe business stakeholder requirements as service functions, business constraints, user preferences and QoS parameters. Our approach is illustrated with an e-commerce example

Cloud Automatic Software Development

International audienceSoftware Engineering must face the new challenges imposed by theCloud Computing paradigm. New methodologies for software development mustbe proposed. For this purpose, this paper presents a specific methodology for collaborativesoftware development in the Cloud, and then describes the architectureof Automatic Software Development as a Service (ASDaaS). The goal ofASDaaS is to popularize software development in the Cloud and make it accessibleto non-IT professionals. In fact, with Cloud Computing and the convergencetoward “Everything as a Service”, we no longer consider the classical contextof software development, where IT teams or integrators are solicited to performsoftware development. ASDaaS allows a stakeholder, without computerskills to perform automatic developments from functional requirements, SLA(Service Level Agreement) requirements, and business rules definition. ASDaaSpromotes the discovery and composition of web services. It is itself composed ofa set of services which can carry out and cover the whole process of software development.ASDaaS also allows the automatic development on Cloud platformsof undiscovered services by model transformation. Indeed, for each new development,a choice of PaaS (Platform as a Service) is performed by matching developmentconstraints imposed by the stakeholder, with the features and servicesoffered by the Cloud Platform
