Pipeline for software application development
A process receives, via a processor, a software application model. Further, the process determines, with the processor, one or more core operations to be performed by a software application to be built. The one or more core operations are based on the software application model. Additionally, the process generates, with the processor, one or more functionality criteria based on the one or more core operations. Moreover, the process generates, with the processor, one or more device-specific graphical user interfaces corresponding to each of a plurality of devices that implement the software application to be built according to the one or more functionality criteria. Finally, the process generates, with the processor, the software application based on the one or more core operations, the one or more functionality criteria, and the one or more device-specific graphical user interfaces.
1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable storage device having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program executed on a computer causes the computer to:
receive, via a processor, a software application model;
determine, with the processor, one or more core operations to be performed by a software application to be built, the one or more core operations being based on the software application model;
generate, with the processor, one or more functionality criteria based on the one or more core operations;
generate, with the processor, a plurality of device-specific graphical user interfaces corresponding to each of a plurality of devices that implement the software application to be built according to the one or more functionality criteria, the plurality of device-specific graphical user interfaces each having one or distinguishing features, in addition to one or more display dimensions, from the remainder of the plurality of device-specific graphical user interface, the one or more distinguishing features each corresponding to a different processing power of the each of the plurality of devices;
automatically search through a database of previously selected graphical user interfaces to automatically determine the one or more device-specific graphical user interfaces based on a criteria of previously determined optimization performance; and
generate, with the processor, the software application based on the one or more core operations, the one or more functionality criteria, and the one or more device-specific graphical user interfaces.
