Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed that automate and institutionalize many aspects of the process of creating software. Embodiments automate aspects of pricing, software creation, and delivery using a manufacturing-styled approach to development that reuses existing code and other existing software design features.

Claims (15)

1. An integrated, machine-based architecture, software development system that connects a plurality of custom software development processes together comprising:

one or more computers configured to integrate customer on-boarding, price generation, custom code generation, and project management using automated machine processes,

wherein the system is configured to analyze profile of a user, fetch localized content that corresponds to the profile, and identify, based on the profile, a set of features for display to the user via an interactive display, determine, based on an input of the user, existing codes that are is available in a code library and new codes that need to be developed for a custom software, generate a price based on the existing codes and the new codes and display the price to the user via the interactive display, and-generate a new temporary project automatically based on the existing codes and projected new codes

wherein the system is configured to allow users to interact with webpages to design a custom software application by being configured to display an interactive web page that presents a group of different build depth to select from the development of the desired custom application;

wherein the system is configured to allow the user to present an interactive webpage that display options for build depth comprising, wireframe depth, clickable user demo depth, core feature to beta test depth, and complete app for launch depth.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to perform a project development process comprising managing project delivery using automated actions interacting with the customer and an assigned development team.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the system implements a plurality of bots comprising software applications that run automated scripts over the Internet that automate software development.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to include a project management tool that is configured to machine-assist project scheduling for development of the custom application and implement a software development management process.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to include a project builder that is configured to pass existing and new code requirements to a team selector process.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to assign source code from a code library to a new project repository and triggers code transfer to the new project repository.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to allow users to interact with webpages to design a custom software application by being configured to display an interactive web pages that present a group of different types of software applications to select from to be a base for the desired custom application.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to display a group of different types of software applications comprising a social and photo centric type, a crowd sourced content type, leveraging simple device capabilities type, or location-based type.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to allows the user to select the one or more types of operating system for which the desired customer application is developed.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to machine-assist the user to design the desired customer software application by displaying a series of interactive menu options from which the user selects an application type, operating systems, build depth, and other customizations.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured, in response to users selection from interactive webpages for designing the desired custom application, display the build card comprising a summary of the users interactive selection and a generated price for the desired custom application in accordance with the summary.
