What is the development platform?

Development platform is a software development tool, which is based on a common technical architecture (such as MVC) and integrates a common modeling tool, a secondary development package and a basic solution. It can greatly reduce the coding rate, give developers more time to pay attention to customer needs, and provide strong support at all stages of project requirements, design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance.

The development platform originates from the tedious actual development process. Developers summarize and encapsulate commonly used functions, classes, abstractions, interfaces, etc. In practice, it becomes a reusable "middleware". With the maturity and popularization of "middleware", a software platform with more powerful functions and better meeting the needs of enterprise customers came into being. The platform is a gathering of scientific research achievements in a period of time, and it is also a sign of the stage platform period, which provides a foundation for the industry to enter a new research and development field. Because the platform has obviously improved the core competitiveness of enterprises, the application of software development platform has become a trend in the domestic management software market.

At present, in addition to international brands such as IBM, domestic platform vendors are more mature, such as Puyuan development platform (code development platform) and Tianzong intelligent development platform (configuration development platform). Some management software companies have also begun to use platforms to enhance their competitiveness, such as UFIDA.

Advantages of development platform compared with traditional development mode;

1. Optimize the product infrastructure and improve the quality of software development;

2. Reduce the coding rate, improve the development efficiency and enhance the flexibility of development;

3. Be able to pay full attention to customer needs and realize customization on demand;

4, realize the standardization of configuration components and improve the stability and compatibility of products;

5. Improve the development ability of enterprises and reduce the time and cost of later maintenance.
