Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for reporting and analytics for development entities. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include selecting a development entity model for generating a report including development information regarding the development entities corresponding to the selected model, the development entity model representing an element being developed for a system; configuring a report model for the selected development entity model to enable creation of the report model; and saving the report model for the selected development entity model, the saved report model stored with other report models defining other reports for operational business objects used in conjunction with the system. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Claims

1. A computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure a processor to perform operations comprising:

selecting a development entity model for generating a report including development information regarding the development entities corresponding to the selected model, the development entity model representing an element being developed for a system;

configuring a report model for the selected development entity model to enable creation of the report model; and

saving the report model for the selected development entity model, the saved report model stored with other report models defining other reports for operational business objects used in conjunction with the system.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the element being developed includes at least one of a business object and another development entity.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:

creating the report model for the selected development entity model.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 3, wherein the report model comprises a selection structure, a result structure, and a filter and expression structure.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:

generating, based on the saved report model, the report including information for a development process of the system.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:

presenting the selected development entity model at a user interface to specify one or more attributes.

7. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the configuring further comprises:

configuring the selected development entity model to include a status of the selected development entity, wherein the status indicates one or more of in process, released, in test, and in error.

8. A method comprising:

selecting a development entity model for generating a report including development information regarding the development entities corresponding to the selected model, the development entity model representing an element being developed for a system;

configuring a report model for the selected development entity model to enable creation of the report model; and

saving the report model for the selected development entity model, the saved report model stored with other report models defining other reports for operational business objects used in conjunction with the system.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

creating the report model for the selected development entity model.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the report model comprises a selection structure, a result structure, and a filter and expression structure.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

generating, based on the saved report model, the report including information for a development process of the system.

12. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

presenting the selected development entity model at a user interface to specify one or more attributes.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the configuring further comprises:

configuring the selected development entity model to include a status of the selected development entity, wherein the status indicates one or more of in process, released, in test, and in error.

14. A system comprising:

at least one memory;

at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory and the at least one processor are configured to provide operations comprising;

selecting a development entity model for generating a report including development information regarding the development entities corresponding to the selected model, the development entity model representing an element being developed for a system;

configuring a report model for the selected development entity model to enable creation of the report model; and

saving the report model for the selected development entity model, the saved report model stored with other report models defining other reports for operational business objects used in conjunction with the system.

15. The system of claim 14 further comprising:

creating the report model for the selected development entity model.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the report model comprises a selection structure, a result structure, and a filter and expression structure.
