Multiple project areas in a development environment

摘要

Provided are a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for partitioning a development environment. A development environment is divided into multiple project areas. Each of the multiple project areas is assigned to a different physical test environment. A solution is assigned to a project area among the multiple project areas. The solution is tested in the assigned physical test environment to modify the physical test environment. The physical test environment associated with the project area is re-initialized without re-initializing other physical test environments.

1. A method for partitioning a development environment, comprising:
dividing, using a processor of a computer, a development environment into multiple project areas; assigning a project area of the multiple project areas to a different physical test environment and to a target object store that stores one or more deployed solutions; providing the project area with a connection definition 1) that identifies a workflow region for storing configuration and work items for the one or more deployed solutions, 2) that identifies a portal server that is used for running the one or more deployed solutions, 3) that is associated with a solution folder for a solution, and 4) that is associated with a re-initialization folder that contains artifacts for re-initialization of the target object store, the workflow region, and the portal server; associating the target object store with the workflow region and the portal server; testing the solution in the assigned physical test environment to modify the assigned physical test environment; and re-initializing the assigned physical test environment associated with the project area without re-initializing other physical test environments by re-initializing the target object store, the workflow region, and the portal server to default settings using the artifacts contained in the re-initialization folder.
