Abstract

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network node including one or more of the following: an application storage that stores code defining an application, wherein the code is received by the prototyping suite from the developer device; a testing controller configured to effect performance of at least one test in association with the application to produce at least one test result; a certification controller configured to analyze the at least one test result to determine whether the application meets a certification requirement of a first plurality of certification requirements; and an application marketplace server configured to provide the application to at least one other device when the certification controller has determined that the application meets each certification requirement of the first plurality of certification requirements.

Claims27

Dependent claims

A prototyping suite for facilitating application development by a developer using a developer device, the prototyping suite comprising:

at least one hardware device comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor supports:
an application storage configured to store code defining an application, wherein the code is received by the prototyping suite from the developer device;
a testing controller configured to effect performance of at least one test in association with the application to produce at least one test result;
a certification controller configured to:
identify a first end user device of a set of end user devices indicated by the developer as an intended platform for the application,
identify a first plurality of certification requirements as being associated with the first end user device of the set of end user devices, wherein the certification controller has access to a second plurality of certification requirements that are associated with a second end user device of the set of end user devices that is different from the first end user device of the set of end user devices, and
analyze the at least one test result to determine whether the application meets a certification requirement of the first plurality of certification requirements;
and
an application marketplace server configured to provide the application to at least one other device when the certification controller has determined that the application meets each certification requirement of the first plurality of certification requirements.

6 more elements

A tangible and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by a prototyping suite for facilitating application development by a developer using a developer device, the tangible and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:

instructions for receiving, by the prototyping suite from the developer device, code defining an application;
instructions for effecting performance of at least one test in association with the application to produce at least one test result;
instructions for identifying a first end user device of a set of end user devices indicated by the developer as an intended platform for the application;
instructions for identifying a first plurality of certification requirements as being associated with the first end user device of the set of end user devices, wherein the prototyping suite has access to a second plurality of certification requirements that are associated with a second end user device of the set of end user devices that is different from the first end user device of the set of end user devices;
instructions for analyzing the at least one test result to determine whether the application meets a certification requirement of the first plurality of certification requirements;
and
instructions for providing the application to at least one other device when the application meets each certification requirement of the first plurality of certification requirements.
