Software-as-a-service (SaaS) application generation and deployment supporting method and device

Abstract

The invention relates to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application generation and deployment supporting method and an SaaS application generation and deployment supporting device, which aim to solve the problems of the conventional SaaS software generation and release. The method comprises the following steps that: A, an independent software vendor obtains a development license of an SaaS application generation and deployment device by registration to become an official development user; B, the independent software vendor downloads a generation and testing tool kit by an independent software vendor (ISV) portlet, and integrates the tool kit into a local generation environment to make the local generation environment become an SaaS application description generation device for rapidly generating SaaS application; C, the independent software vendor performs application generation by utilizing the SaaS application description generation device, and uploads the description of the application into an SaaS application deployment device; D, the SaaS application deployment device adds bottom-layer realization to the application generated by the ISV to deploy the application into the SaaS application supporting multiple tenants and personalized customization; and E, the tenants try on, rent and customize the SaaS application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of SaaS application generation and deployment, in particular to a method and device for supporting SaaS application generation and deployment. Background technique [0002] SaaS (Software-as-a-service) means software as a service, and SaaS is a software application model that provides software services based on the Internet. Compared with traditional service methods, SaaS has many unique characteristics: SaaS not only reduces or cancels traditional software licensing fees, but also manufacturers deploy application software on a unified server, eliminating the end user's need for server hardware, network security equipment and software. For upgrade and maintenance expenses, customers can obtain the required software and services through the Internet without other IT investment other than personal computers and Internet connections.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, when software developers develop SaaS applications, they need to solve complex underlying technology implementation details, such as the need to consider high-trust protection of data, and the need to add corresponding tenant customization modules, etc. These underlying implementations prevent independent software developers from concentrating on In terms of core business logic, it causes a waste of manpower and material resources of the development team

At present, some developers have proposed an online-based development device. Independent software developers develop SaaS applications on the device, such as SalesForce's AppExchange platform, which provides an open API interface for third-party calls. The online development device can indeed be an independent Software developers shield part of the underlying implementation details, but online development devices also have the following characteristics: First, software developers are less independent in development and need to be bound to a fixed development device instead of developing in a traditional development environment; Secondly, the support for customization is limited, which cannot fully meet the individual needs of tenants; thirdly, the application fields supported by online development devices are limited. Can rent an application, tenants can not get a consistent user experience when using different applications; finally, different online device development specifications and standards are different, independent software developers need to waste a long time learning
