Systems and methods for software development using sandbox views

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• providing, to a centralized virtual sandbox hosting service, an electronic request from a remote client computer, the electronic request requesting a virtual sandbox session;
• receiving, at the remote client computer, data indicative of a virtual sandbox view, the virtual sandbox view enabling a user of the remote client computer to see and perform interactions with an integrated development environment at the centralized virtual sandbox hosting service, via the remote client computer;
• rendering, via the remote client computer, the virtual sandbox view, wherein the virtual sandbox view is representative of a virtual sandbox generated at the centralized virtual sandbox hosting service, the virtual sandbox providing the integrated development environment for modifications to a particular codebase isolated from a non-isolated codebase, wherein the particular codebase and the non-isolated codebase are stored at a data store, wherein the particular codebase is associated with a particular project of a plurality of projects and is determined based on the particular project, wherein the particular project is automatically determined based on a historical access of a user of the remote client computer to a previous project and without a user selection of the particular project;
• generate a save option in the virtual sandbox view;
• upon receiving an indication of a selection of the save option, saving the virtual sandbox;
• receiving, at the centralized virtual sandbox hosting service, a subsequent electronic request from the remote client computer, the subsequent electronic request requesting a subsequent virtual sandbox session;
• and
• presenting to the remote client computer a subsequent virtual sandbox view based on the saved virtual sandbox.

A development system, comprising:

• a sandbox hosting service, configured to:
• receive an electronic request from a remote client computer, the electronic request requesting a virtual sandbox session for a user of the remote client computer;
• determine a historical access of the user to a previous project;
• determine a particular project of a plurality of projects based on:
• the received electronic request;
• and
• the historical access, wherein the particular project is determined without a user selection of the particular project;
• isolate, based on the particular project, a particular codebase from a non-isolated codebase, wherein the particular codebase and the non-isolated codebase are stored at a code store, wherein the particular codebase is associated with the particular project of the plurality of projects;
• and
• generate a virtual sandbox, the virtual sandbox configured to provide an integrated development environment for the particular codebase;
• and
• a remote client computer, configured to:
• render a virtual sandbox view of the virtual sandbox;
• and
• receive and provide interactions with the integrated development environment at the virtual sandbox hosting service, via the virtual sandbox view;
• wherein the sandbox hosting service is further configured to:
• generate a save option in the virtual sandbox view;
• upon receiving an indication of a selection of the save option, save the virtual sandbox;
• receive, a subsequent electronic request from the remote client computer, the subsequent electronic request requesting a subsequent virtual sandbox session;
• and
• generate a subsequent virtual sandbox view based on the saved virtual sandbox.
