Filed:

Feb 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/702196

Inventors:

Ralph Saunders - Springfield VA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717145

Abstract:

A method for enabling a software developer to provide software development services to an end user. The software developer has a website and other network accessible computers that the end user can access to define for the software developer the nature of the source code or software to be developed for the end user. Based on the input by the end user, the software developer then develops, compiles and installs on one of its own computers the defined software or source code for review and testing online by the end user. The developed software or source code is made available for downloading onto the end user's computer once the end user has approved it online after review and testing.

Abstract:

A method for enabling a software developer to provide software development services to an end user. The software developer has a website and other network accessible computers that the end user can access to define for the software developer the nature of the custom source code or software to be developed for the end user. Based on the input by the end user, the software developer then develops, compiles and installs on one of its own computers the defined custom software or source code for review and testing online by the end user. The developed custom software or source code is made available for downloading onto the end user's computer once the end user has approved it online after review and testing. The custom software or source code is “work for hire” and is owned by the end user who has exclusive intellectual property rights therein.

Abstract:

A method for providing fully automated software development services using only preexisting proprietary software to perform the software development, thus eliminating the human programmer from the software development process. The software, running on network accessible computers, receives a set of requirements that defines for it the nature of some custom software that it should develop/create. Based on the input, the preexisting proprietary software then develops the custom software source code as “work made for hire”, compiles the code, installs the compiled code onto one of its own computers and runs tests against the software to prove that the developed software satisfies the supplied requirements. The results of the test are presented to the customer and, if the test results are approved by the customer, the developed custom software or source code is then made available for downloading by the customer after they have paid for the software development services used to create that software. The custom software or source code is considered “work made for hire” and the customer who commissioned the work has the exclusive intellectual property rights to the developed software.
