SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DEVELOP A FEATURE FOR A DEVICE APPLICATION

1 . A method for developing a software application, the method comprising:

allocating one or more points to a task, the task comprising the development of a feature for the software application, the feature comprising one or more machine-readable components configured to be tested for quality by a computer system;

receiving a completed feature, subsequent to the allocating, from one or more developers;

verifying that the completed feature meets a set of one or more quality standards; and

distributing one or more resources to the one or more developers responsive to the verifying, the one or more resources proportional to the one or more points.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the allocating is performed responsive to a direction by a user, the direction comprising a selection of one or more developers to develop the feature.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining a set of developers capable of completing the task; and

wherein the selection is a subset of the set of developers.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising reducing the distribution to the one or more developers responsive to a difference in a time of reception and an estimated time of completion meeting a threshold.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the verifying comprises comparing the completed feature to a machine-readable build task in a buildcard.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the verifying further comprises determining that the completed feature causes the software application exhibit the completed feature.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising generating a prototype of the software application that incorporates the completed feature.

8 . A computer system for developing a software application, the computer system comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to execute a software to perform:

allocate one or more points to a task, the task comprising the development of a feature for the software application, the feature comprising one or more machine-readable components configured to be tested for quality by a computer system;

receive a completed feature, subsequent to the allocating, from one or more developers;

verify that the completed feature meets a set of one or more quality standards; and

distribute one or more resources to the one or more developers responsive to the verifying, the one or more resources proportional to the one or more points.

9 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the allocating is performed responsive to a direction by a user, the direction comprising a selection of one or more developers to develop the feature.

10 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to determine a set of developers capable of completing the task; and

wherein the selection is a subset of the set of developers.

11 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to reduce the distribution to the one or more developers responsive to a difference in a time of reception and an estimated time of completion meeting a threshold.

12 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein verify comprises compare the completed feature to a machine-readable build task in a buildcard.

13 . The computer system of claim 12 , wherein verify further comprises determine that the completed feature causes the software application exhibit the completed feature.

14 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to generate a prototype of the software application that incorporates the completed feature.

15 . A computer readable storage medium having data stored therein representing software executable by a computer, the software comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the computer readable storage medium to perform:

allocating one or more points to a task, the task comprising a development of a feature for a software application, the feature comprising one or more machine-readable components configured to be tested for quality by a computer system;

receiving a completed feature, subsequent to the allocating, from one or more developers;

verifying that the completed feature meets a set of one or more quality standards; and

distributing one or more resources to the one or more developers responsive to the verifying, the one or more resources proportional to the one or more points.

16 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the allocating is performed responsive to a direction by a user, the direction comprising a selection of one or more developers to develop the feature.

17 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform determining a set of developers capable of completing the task; and

wherein the selection is a subset of the set of developers.

18 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform reducing the distribution to the one or more developers responsive to a difference in a time of reception and an estimated time of completion meeting a threshold.

19 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the verifying comprises comparing the completed feature to a machine-readable build task in a buildcard.

20 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the verifying further comprises determining that the completed feature causes the software application exhibit the completed feature; and

wherein the instructions further cause the computer readable storage medium to perform generating a prototype of the software application that incorporates the completed feature.
