Research and Practice of Software Development Technique for Electric Power Application

With the development of business, there always exists a large demand for application software in electric power industry. From a technical point of view, there has been no revolutionary changes in the technical architecture of such software in recent years. On the other hand, application softwares are required to meet the electric power industry standard like the security standard, and pass the security tests. Theoretically, the above two features make the development works of various electric application softwares have a high similarity. But in the practice, the amount of time and personnel spent on software development does not show a significant decrease. To simplify the development of electric application software and improve the efficiency, in this paper, an approach is introduced. First, the requirements specification of an application and its expression are clarified, with the reusable part in the development work separated out based on softwares’ similarities. Then a general application server is implemented, which can be instantiated with business requirements for various application softwares. At last, we build two application servers to see the effectiveness.
