Peony: A Web Environment to Support Pattern-Based Development

The development of Web applications using software patterns, test requirements, and established processes helps to increase teams productivity and the final product quality. However, there is a lack of tools for supporting developers on the use of software patterns in the several stages of a development process, beyond assisting the validation of the reused solutions. Thus, this article presents a Web environment, named Peony, that aims at facilitating the reuse of software patterns and test requirements during software development. Peony allows the software engineer to include the development processes followed by the organization, and to associate patterns to their phases and/or activities, so that during the development of a particular project the developer can more easily reuse these patterns. Also, for each pattern, Peony suggests test requirements for assisting the validation of applications under development.
