Incorporating Development Tools In System For Deploying Computer Based Process On Shared Infrastructure
First Claim
1. A method of setting up a development environment for development work on a computer based business process, the method having the steps of:
- providing a model of the business process, the model representing functional steps of the business process, an arrangement of software application components, for carrying out the functional steps, and a design of computing infrastructure, for running the software application components,providing in the model a representation of one or more tools for developing part of the business process, incorporated with the corresponding part of the modelled business process, anddeploying at least part of the model incorporating the tools, and installing the given tools, to set up the development environment.

Abstract
A method of setting up a development environment for development work on a computer based business process, involves providing a software model (827) of the business process, and providing in the model a representation (870) of tools for developing part of the process, incorporated with the corresponding part of the modelled business process. The selected parts of the model incorporating the tools are deployed, and the given tools installed, to set up the development environment. By modelling the development tools incorporated in the business process, setting up the development environment can be made easier. Choice and arrangement of tools needs less manual input, so risks of errors, and time spent in setting up can be reduced.

11. A method of using a management system to set up a development environment for development work on a computer based business process, the management system having:
-
a store having a model of the business process, the model representing functional steps of the business process, an arrangement of software application components, for carrying out the functional steps, and a design of computing infrastructure, for running the software application components, the model having a representation of one or more tools for developing part of the process, incorporated with a corresponding part of the modelled business process, and a deployment part for deploying at least part of the model incorporating the tools, and installing the given tools, to set up the development environment, the method having the steps by a developer of selecting which tools are to be used, and causing the deployment part to deploy the model incorporating the selected tools;

12. A management system for setting up a development environment with tools for development work on a computer based business process, the management system having:
-
a store for storing a model of the business process, the model representing functional steps of the business process, an arrangement of software application components, for carrying out the functional steps, and a design of computing infrastructure, for running the software application components, model having a representation of one or more tools for developing part of the process, incorporated with a corresponding part of the modelled business process, and a deployment part arranged to deploy at least part of the model incorporating the tools, and to install the given tools, to set up the development environment. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
