Developing software products using reusable code artifacts

A method for developing software products from reusable code files, the method comprising:

• executing, with an electronic processor, a software development application;
• receiving, with the electronic processor, a first selection defining a desired functionality for a new software product, wherein accessing the first executable code file includes accessing an executable code file that controls a deployment and configuration of the new software product;
• receiving, with the electronic processor, a second selection for the new software product;
• accessing, with the electronic processor, a first executable code file based on the first selection;
• accessing, with the electronic processor, a second executable code file based on the second selection;
• aggregating, with the electronic processor, the first executable code file and the second executable code file as the new software product;
• and
• enabling, with the electronic processor, deployment of the new software product.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

• receiving a first selection defining a desired functionality for a new software product;
• receiving a second selection for the new software product;
• accessing a first executable code file based on the first selection, wherein the first executable code file controls a deployment and configuration of the new software product;
• accessing a second executable code file based on the second selection;
• aggregating the first executable code file and the second executable code file as the new software product, wherein the first executable code file and the second executable code file are reusable code files;
• and
• enabling deployment of the new software product.
