Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and platform management device for providing computer program development and deployment in a platform. A plurality of input parameters related to a development and deployment project are received. A plurality of development and deployment resources are determined based on the plurality of input parameters. The plurality of required development and deployment resources are provisioned. An execution environment is provided for utilization of the development and deployment resources. A plurality of supporting processes are provided to support the utilization of the execution environment.

adjusting by the platform management computing device both the determined plurality of development and deployment resources and a sizing of the determined plurality of development and deployment resources based on a user input until the determined plurality of development and deployment resources meet a set of requirements for the development and deployment project prior to provisioning the resources;

provisioning by the platform management computing device the determined plurality of development and deployment resources;

providing by the platform management computing device an execution environment that provides an interface for utilization of the provisioned plurality of development and deployment resources for development and deployment of the computer program, wherein the provided execution environment comprises one or more application hosting services; and

providing by the platform management computing device a plurality of supporting processes to support the utilization of the provided execution environment.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the platform is a cloud-based platform.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the input parameters comprise a use case parameter, a function point parameter, a nonfunctional requirement parameter, a scope parameter, a team size parameter, and a timeline parameter for the development and deployment project.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of development and deployment resources comprise a computer program.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the computer program provides development and deployment services comprising one or more of requirements capture, architecture and design, code creation, code check in, code check out, compilation, execution, creating unit test, executing unit test, or performance profiling.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the processes for supporting the development and deployment project comprise one or more of a development and deployment project management processes for tracking completion of the development and deployment project, a quality assessment processes for monitoring compliance to one or more quality standards, and a people management processes for managing performance of the development and deployment project.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the one or more quality standards comprise one or more of ISO or Capability Maturity Model standards.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the execution environment provides the interface for utilizing the development and deployment resources remotely by a client computing device and further wherein the execution environment provides one or more application hosting services wherein the application hosting services comprise one or more of functional testing, stress testing, load testing, and deployment.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for providing development and deployment services in a platform comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

receiving a plurality of input parameters related to a development and deployment project via a web based application, wherein the development and deployment project comprises development and deployment of a computer program;

determining a plurality of development and deployment resources for the development and deployment project based on the received plurality of input parameters;

adjusting both the determined plurality of development and deployment resources and a sizing of the determined plurality of development and deployment resources based on a user input until the determined plurality of development and deployment resources meet a set of requirements for the development and deployment project prior to provisioning the resources;

provisioning the determined plurality of development and deployment resources from a single cloud-based platform;

providing an execution environment that provides an interface for utilization of the provisioned plurality of development and deployment resources for the development and deployment of the computer program, wherein the provided execution environment comprises one or more application hosting services; and

providing a plurality of supporting processes to support the utilization of the provided execution environment.

10. The medium of claim 9 wherein the platform is a cloud-based platform.

11. The medium of claim 10 wherein the processes for supporting the development and deployment project comprise one or more of a development and deployment project management processes for tracking completion of the development and deployment project, a quality assessment processes for monitoring compliance to one or more quality standards, or a people management processes for managing performance of the development and deployment project.

12. The medium of claim 11 wherein the one or more quality standards comprise one or more of ISO or Capability Maturity Model standards.

13. The medium of claim 9 wherein the input parameters comprise a use case parameter, a function point parameter, a nonfunctional requirement parameter, a scope parameter, a team size parameter, and a timeline parameter for the development and deployment project.

14. The medium of claim 9 wherein the plurality of development and deployment resources comprise a computer program.

15. The medium of claim 14 wherein the computer program provides development and deployment services comprising one or more of requirements capture, architecture and design, code creation, code check in, code check out, compilation, execution, creating unit test, executing unit test, or performance profiling.

16. The medium of claim 9 wherein the execution environment provides the interface for utilizing the development and deployment resources remotely by a client computing device and further wherein the execution environment provides one or more application hosting services wherein the application hosting services comprise one or more of functional testing, stress testing, load testing, and deployment.

17. A platform management computing device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory, wherein the memory is coupled to the one or more processors which are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising;

receiving a plurality of input parameters related to a development and deployment project via a web based application, wherein the development and deployment project comprises development and deployment of a computer program;

determining a plurality of development and deployment resources for the development and deployment project based on the received plurality of input parameters;

adjusting both the determined plurality of development and deployment resources and a sizing of the determined plurality of development and deployment resources based on a user input until the determined plurality of development and deployment resources meet a set of requirements for the development and deployment project prior to provisioning the resources;

provisioning the determined plurality of development and deployment resources from a single cloud-based platform;

providing an execution environment that provides an interface for utilization of the provisioned plurality of development and deployment resources for the development and deployment of the computer program, wherein the provided execution environment comprises one or more application hosting services; and

providing a plurality of supporting processes to support the utilization of the provided execution environment.
