Abstract
Decision making for custom portal developments is automated by the collection of product usage logs and analysis of the data collected to determine whether to create a native portlet for the product, and whether the portlet is to have multi-channel capability. Product usage logs include user interaction with the product and the type of traffic coming to the site. The recommended action is based on the analysis of log data with respect to specified key parameters.
Claims7
A computer-implemented method for product development planning, the method comprising:
- rendering, by a processor, a first application in a first production environment within an inline frame architecture to generate a rendered access to the first application in the first production environment, the first application running in a second production environment, the first application being programmed for deployment in the second production environment;
- collecting, by the processor, from a first application log generated by a mechanism of the first production environment, a usage dataset representing a period of usage of the first application running in the second production environment and accessed in the first production environment via the rendered access within the inline frame, the usage dataset including user access frequency and an identity of a user device accessing the first application during the period of usage;
- determining, by the processor, a pattern of user interactions corresponding to access of the first application in the first production environment while running in the second production environment based on the usage dataset;
- and
- recommending, by the processor, development of a platform-specific version of the first application having multi-channel capability for deployment from a native portlet in the first production environment based on the pattern of user interactions with respect to multiple devices being used to gain access to the first application, the platform-specific version of the first application being programmed for deployment in the first production environment without the rendered access within the inline frame;
- wherein:
- the first production environment is a target environment to which applications are being migrated from the second production environment;
- the multi-channel capability based on the pattern of user interactions indicates multiple device usage of rendered access via the inline frame to the first application running in the second production environment;
- and
- the collecting, determining, and recommending steps are performed by computer software running on computer hardware.
