End-to-end process for developing your Digital Service application
Before you begin with the development of Digital Service application make sure that you install all the components required to develop an application. BMC Helix Innovation Studio and database are installed in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance.
BMC Helix Innovation Studio provides you the flexibility to develop your application via code based development and definition based development.
- Using BMC Helix Innovation Studio SDK and Maven archetype you can create the project for your application.
- Using BMC Helix Innovation Studio, you can create data, business logic and user interface required for your application.
- Using Java and JavaScript you can extend the service objects and customize the behavior of service objects using Java and JavaScript.
After you complete the application development you can deploy your application to an external environment where the users can tailor and use the application. The following image describes the recommended end-to-end process for developing an application:
Development of an application comprises of the following tasks:
