Introduction
The advancement in electronics wouldn't have been any fruitful if it wasn't supported by the development of software. The software is that intangible part of a system, which drives its hardware resources. Software controls the entire working of the system and is the bridge between the user and the system. The software is mostly created manually, programmed by writing several lines of code by the programmers and coders. There are various stages through which a software is developed, firstly the specific requirement of the customer is collected, based on that the design of the software is made in the paper, after all this paperwork, the actual development or coding is done. After the software is developed and deployed, then comes the security checking and test cases, wherein the functionalities of the software are checked along with the security features. Once the software passes this stage, then it is delivered to the customer and the customer gives the feedback and requests for any changes, this goes on till the software is used by the customer and this is known as the maintenance phase of the software development lifecycle. The software development requires utilization of several development tools and platforms for attaining the technical objectives, there are many options available for performing a particular task. Such a high diversity in the developmental platforms quite often leads to a major issue while integrating the modules of a software. Not only are their much issues in the conventional way of software development but also a great range of diversity in the way these software are delivered to the customers or made available for the public use. This led to the inception of a unique decentralized platform, Buddy, which provides an automated development platform for software development.
Solution Offered
Buddy is a decentralized blockchain platform, running on the ERC20 platform. It provides a common space for all the software development releases, a central place to launch all the types of applications, which would be accessible to all the users of this platform. This marketplace would be able to easily integrate the software modules, which are designed in different platforms, without any trouble to the programmers. They not only provide a place to launch and store the applications, but also various automated tools, which performs several tasks and reduces human work effort, like the code quality check, security flaws, efficiency in the use of various APIs, and others. It also checks the working of the application and takes care of intellectual property issues too, by adding an invisible watermark to the images. It automatically performs overall optimization of the application, like code quality, image size, and quality. It has a unique security testing tool, Securify, which is used to check the security of smart contracts in the ERC20 platform. Buddy also helps in making a private platform for automated testing and deployment of software, maintaining their privacy as well as auto-scaling them as per the requirement of the software or application. In this feature, a private infrastructure is surely needed but there is also another service available by which the applications on this platform can be scalled without the requirement of infrastructure.
Conclusion
There is much scope and necessity for a platform like Buddy, which reduces the time of software development by providing several automated deployments and testing steps. This could be a boon to SMBs in the IT sector as it would reduce the production cost and would also increase the profitability of the software development. This platform would be of great benefit to coding enthusiasts and developers and would assist them throughout the development of a software application.
