How Huawei builds an enterprise-level development platform

Today, cloud computing is penetrating into all walks of life and is being accepted by more and more companies. For new small and beautiful cloud computing companies, the huge market contained in cloud computing is gradually being opened up due to the emerging Internet industries such as cross-border e-commerce, games, education, and Internet finance, as well as the transformation of traditional companies to the Internet.

As the cloud computing market continues to develop, IDC predicts that by 2020, corporate cloud spending will account for nearly 50% of global IT infrastructure spending. Against this backdrop, competition among cloud service providers is becoming increasingly fierce.

In the cloud era: Enterprise software delivery challenges increase dramatically

In the era of cloud computing, we can find that in a large number of small and medium-sized software companies, the environment for enterprise software delivery has already had distinct characteristics of the times, and the challenges are becoming increasingly obvious. The main manifestations are:

1. High delivery frequency and short R&D cycle

Market demand changes very quickly and the delivery pressure is high; it requires on-demand release, high delivery frequency, rapid trial and error, and rapid feedback; it also requires continuous rapid innovation so that ideas can be quickly transformed into products.

2. High data security requirements

In addition to the requirements for delivery frequency, the requirements for data security are getting higher and higher. However, many small and medium-sized software companies have scattered R&D data storage, which is difficult to effectively manage and recover from disasters. At the same time, they lack enterprise-level security management and control, and software assets are prone to loss.

3. Complex environment and multiple cross-regional collaborations

In addition, international and cross-regional teams require a lot of communication and collaboration, and have high requirements for project visibility and synchronization. The learning curve for new technologies and new languages ​​is long, making tool deployment and maintenance inefficient and complex.

More and more companies are looking for more efficient delivery methods, instant-on and low-cost solutions. As a result, the demand for software development cloud is rising sharply. Software development cloud will be an important software development channel for enterprises.

Yunqi Future Software Development Cloud is your companion

At the Huawei 2016 Connect Conference in early September, Huawei Software Development Cloud (DevCloud) received a lot of attention and praise from a wide range of enterprises and individual developers.

So, what exactly is a software development cloud?

As a cloud service provided by Huawei for developers, Software Development Cloud is ready to use and can perform project management, configuration management, code checking, compilation, building, testing, deployment, and release in the cloud anytime and anywhere, allowing developers to quickly and easily start their cloud development journey.

The software development cloud provides cutting-edge end-to-end R&D tool chain services for small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, and individual developers to accelerate software delivery, improve product quality, reduce R&D costs, and enhance corporate competitiveness.

Start your cloud development journey and build a one-stop development cloud

What benefits can software development cloud bring us? What value can software development cloud bring to developers? Let us introduce it in detail below.

Agile project management: Supports agile iterative development by development teams and efficient project management. Provides developers with convenient requirements management, task management, and defect management, and manages multiple projects through functions such as following projects, project cards, and one-click switching; clearly presents project progress through milestones, iteration plans, and iteration timelines; and achieves high efficiency in cross-regional collaborative development through social collaboration such as requirements discussion, change records, and service dynamics.

One-stop configuration management: Software Development Cloud provides developers with online code hosting services based on Git, including code cloning/downloading/submitting/pushing/comparing/merging/branching, etc. Using Software Development Cloud, developers can download the code to the local computer with one click, develop based on Eclipse, and push the code to the cloud with one click after development, thus realizing online and offline collaborative development.

The software development cloud supports online code reading, modification, and submission, and development can be carried out anytime and anywhere without geographical restrictions; online branch creation, switching, and merging, multi-branch parallel development, and high development efficiency.

One-stop code checking: Software Development Cloud provides cloud-based code checking services to help monitor and manage source code quality, allowing developers to code with confidence and peace of mind. It supports multiple language checks such as Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSP, C#, C/C++, Python, and continues to increase the breadth of language support. It provides services such as code architecture checking, coding problem checking, and code security checking.

Software Development Cloud helps developers locate code defects accurately. It provides defect impact description, correct examples, incorrect examples, and modification suggestions for code defects; supports jumping from defect association to code library, and enables online viewing and editing; supports batch processing of code defects, including batch ignoring, batch import and export of processing opinions, etc., which is fast and efficient.

Compile and build in the cloud:

The software development cloud allows developers to compile and build in the cloud, provides a simple-to-configure mixed-language build platform, and visualizes customized automated delivery pipelines to support continuous delivery, shorten delivery cycles, and improve delivery efficiency.

Traditional compilation configuration tools are complex to configure and difficult to use. With the software development cloud, developers can quickly create and configure compilation and build tasks with one click. It supports mixed programming in multiple languages ​​and parallel builds, and implements dynamic resource allocation, significantly improving compilation and build efficiency. It provides developers with complete compilation and build detailed logs and analysis functions, making it easy to quickly locate problems and quickly grasp the overall status of compilation and build.

Integrated test management:

Software Development Cloud provides an integrated testing solution that covers test requirements, use case management, test execution, and defect management. It evaluates product quality in multiple dimensions, helps development teams efficiently manage testing activities, and ensures high-quality product delivery. By establishing a two-way traceability of requirements-use cases-defects, it ensures that all requirements are tested and reduces missed tests. It provides multi-dimensional version quality reports to ensure efficient product quality acceptance.

Rapid Release Management Services:

The software development cloud provides developers with cloud services for software release management, including software warehouse, software release, release package download, release package metadata management and other functions. Through a secure and reliable software warehouse, it implements software package version management, improves release quality and efficiency, and achieves continuous product release.

Huawei Software Development Cloud is committed to providing customers with the most cutting-edge R&D tool solutions to help companies build the next-generation R&D capabilities that support their business success.

In the future, software development cloud will accompany you all the way, and the cloud will usher in the future~~
