With the increasing requirements of today's users for the functions and security of network software applications, the application environment for providing services is also growing, and it often takes a lot of manpower to maintain and manage them together. However, as more engineers build the system together, the management of the code becomes more complicated. For example, the code written by different engineers may be incompatible with each other and cannot run because of the wrong version. To solve this problem, in the prior art, vendors have provided remote code version management services, such as GitHub, to automatically record different versions of the code and help engineers track the differences between different versions of the code.

In addition, in order to reduce the burden of engineers setting up servers and building application environments, some vendors also provide cloud computing rental services so that engineers can focus on writing code and simplify the process of setting up the server operating environment. However, because engineers may use the services provided by different vendors at the same time, they must manually rotate between different platforms when testing the code. This approach not only consumes manpower, but also inevitably leads to omissions, and if the engineer does not leave an operation record, it will increase the difficulty of future error detection.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cloud system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cloud system 100 includes a version control storage server 110, a local server 120, and a cloud service platform 130.

The version control storage server 110 can manage and store multiple codes of different versions, so that each developer in the development team can review each other's modified codes, and the version control storage server 110 can also retain the code The complete database required to facilitate developers to transfer the entire system to a new server for operation. The version control storage server 110 can, for example, but not limited to use the version control system Git as the bottom layer, and execute code review software, such as Gerrit, to facilitate editing and integration by developers.

The cloud service platform 130 can provide a plurality of service items and a plurality of storage spaces. In other words, through the cloud service platform 130, developers can reduce the process of setting up servers and building application environments by themselves, and can use the services provided by the cloud service platform 130 to perform required operations. For example, the cloud service platform 130 may be, for example, but not limited to, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The local server 120 may include a build tester 122. In some embodiments of the present invention, the build tester 122 can be connected to the version control storage server 110, so it can monitor whether there is a new version of the code on the version control storage server 110, and customize or pre-order Set the command script (script) to build the environment required by the code and perform related tests. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the build tester 122 detects that there is an updated and untested code A under test on the version control storage server 110, the build tester 122 can At a predetermined time, such as but not limited to two o'clock in the morning, a predetermined build instruction script is automatically executed to test the program code A under test. In this way, the build tester 122 can avoid the developer's working hours to test the code under test A, and then when the developer starts to work, he can refer to the relevant test results provided by the build tester 122 , So that developers can make further corrections or improvements to the test results.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the build tester 122 can be implemented by, for example, an open source software development continuous integration tool Buildbot. When using Buildbot to implement the build tester 122, the build tester 122 may include a master unit and a slave unit (slave). The master control unit can continuously monitor the version control storage server 110 connected to it, and notify the corresponding slave unit when it finds that the code is updated, or create a corresponding slave unit if the slave unit does not exist. The slave unit may further execute the corresponding predetermined build command script to obtain the program code A to be tested from the version control storage server 110, and build the test environment required by the program code A to be tested for testing.

For example, the slave unit uploads the test code A to the cloud service platform 130 Try storage tank 132. Taking Amazon cloud computing service as an example, the test storage slot 132 may be a simple storage service (S3) provided by Amazon cloud computing service, for example.

In addition, in order to allow the program code A to be tested to be tested in a relatively simple environment, the build tester 122 may first remove multiple service items opened by the cloud service platform 130. That is to say, the build tester 122 will first stop the service items provided by the original cloud service platform 130, and then re-open multiple service items to be tested in the cloud service platform 130 according to the code A to be tested, so as to deploy Test the first application environment of code A under test. In some embodiments of the present invention, after the build tester 122 is tested in the first application environment, it can further store and/or output test results, such as passed and failed test items, for reference by developers.

In some embodiments, the service items provided by the cloud service platform 130 may include application function services and database services. Taking Amazon cloud computing service as an example, developers can use the programming language of CloudFormation to describe the type of application functions required by the developer, the required parameters, and the timing of operation, etc., to use the serverless service provided by Amazon cloud computing services (serverless) function service (or lambda) to complete the required operations. In addition, developers can also use the programming language of CloudFormation to describe the database types and parameters required by the developers to use the database service (or DynamoDB) provided by Amazon cloud computing services to create the required database.

Since the required service items are described through the CloudFormation language, the required infrastructure can be quickly established in the cloud service platform 130 and the local server 120. Therefore, the application function stack and data compiled in the CloudFormation language are used The library stack may also be referred to as infrastructure as code. In this embodiment, in addition to the aforementioned infrastructure code used to integrate the service under test required by the first application environment, the code under test A may also include the actual operation content of the service under test. To ensure that the cloud service platform 130 can execute the required calculation functions.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the predetermined build instruction script may also require the build tester 122 Perform other types of checks on the code to be tested. For example, before removing or activating the service provided by the cloud service platform 130, the build tester 122 can also check the toolkit used in the code to be tested ( package) has been properly installed on the local server 120, and if necessary, the application package (Android Package, APK) of the Android system is automatically signed.

In addition, the predetermined build command script can also give corresponding instructions according to the situations that may be encountered during the deployment environment, so as to ensure that the build tester 122 can automatically and smoothly deploy the first test code A required for testing. Application Environment. For example, the predetermined build command script may also require the build tester 122 to create a test storage slot 132 in the cloud service platform 130 when it detects that the cloud service platform 130 has not created a corresponding test storage slot 132. In addition, the predetermined build command script may also request the build tester 122 to detect whether more than a predetermined number of versions of the code have been stored in the test storage slot 132 before uploading the test code A to the test storage slot 132 , And when it is detected that more than a predetermined number of versions of the code are stored in the test storage slot 132, such as but not limited to five versions of the code, the oldest version of the code is cleared to ensure that the test storage slot 132 has enough storage space.

After testing multiple versions of the code, the developer can use the code with the most satisfactory test result, such as code B, as the online release version. At this time, the build tester 122 can execute the release build command script to Build the application environment required for code B to be released.

For example, the build tester 122 may obtain the code B to be released from the version control storage server 110 according to the release build command script, and upload the code B to be released to the cloud service platform 130. In this embodiment, the cloud service platform 130 can create a distribution storage slot 134 for online distribution, and store the to-be-released code B in the distribution storage slot 134. In addition, according to the issuance of the build command script, the build tester 122 can also remove multiple application function services opened by the cloud service platform 130, and then enable the cloud service platform 130 to reopen the application function service according to the code B to be issued To deploy the second application environment required for the operation of the code B to be released.

Compared with the predetermined build command script used to test the code, due to the actual online release When the system user’s account data and records cannot be deleted, the build tester 122 will be required to retain the multiple database services currently running in the cloud service platform 130 to ensure that the newly launched system is still saved. There are system user data, and the user will not lose the previously saved data after the system is updated.

In this case, in order to ensure that the newly launched system can create the database required by the code B to be released, the predetermined build command script may request the build tester 122 to compare the database service running in the second application environment And first test the database service used when the code B to be released is used to determine whether there is an uncreated database. In some embodiments, when the cloud system 100 was previously testing the code B, the cloud system 100 has already left a record of the required database service, so the build tester 122 can compare the currently running database with the previous Compared with the records of, and when the build tester 122 determines that there is at least one database service that should be created but has not been created, the at least one database service can be created.

In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the developer can choose the code to be released online based on the previous test results. However, in some other embodiments, the build tester 122 can also be based on the previous multiple codes. As a result of the test, the code that passes the most test items is automatically selected as the code to be released, and the required second application environment is built according to the release build instruction script.

In this way, the local server 120 can integrate the version control storage server 110 and the cloud service platform 130 of different systems with each other and work together to form the cloud system 100 through the build tester 122, so the test can be automatically and effectively processed The code is tested, and the test results are provided for reference by the developers. At the same time, the complete setting steps can also be recorded to facilitate the developers to debug. In addition, the cloud system 100 can also update the online system by integrating the version control storage server 110, the local server 120, and the cloud service platform 130 to automatically deploy the application environment of the code to be released, avoiding the use of manual deployment environment. Omission.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method 200 for integrating the cloud system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method 200 may be implemented by executing a predetermined build instruction script by the build tester 122. The method 200 may include Steps S210 to S270.
