Systems and methods to support the development of application software

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the burden on a developer regarding preparation for using an external service in application development using a visual programming tool. When flow data is downloaded from a flow template manager 300 to a flow editor 41, the system receives a first command for deploying an external service corresponding to a calling node, and a service corresponding to the external service. A second instruction for deploying the external service identified from the first instruction is sent to the deployment manager 600A. The service deployment manager deploys the external service identified from the second instruction on the service execution platform 700B, and returns a response associated with the called endpoint. The system returns to the source of the first instruction the first response in which the properties of the calling node are associated with the called endpoint set by the flow template manager.
