CODING CEO Zhang Hailong said: "Software development can not be standardized, but the process can, when we have a set of quantifiable and controllable implementation process, the risk is actually greatly reduced, and "Development Po" is the check of each process."
Recently, due to the frequent occurrence of accidents caused by non-action by third-party platforms, credit issues in the sharing economy have been questioned. Especially in the area of ​​more specialized software development outsourcing, problems such as bad projects, late payments, and source code leakage caused by the dishonesty of demanders or developers have emerged in an endless stream. However, due to the lack of an effective credit system and regulatory platform, these The problem has not been resolved.
For this industry chaos, as the first manufacturer to try to establish a standardized industry credit system in the software crowdsourcing field, CODING code market is also ahead of the industry this time. Its CEO Zhang Hailong told reporters that CODING's platform trading credit service “Development Po†has been officially launched. "Development Po" is equivalent to "Alipay" on the market platform of the code and is used to host project funds, with the aim of providing protection for the transaction process.
With the on-line implementation of this product, CODING has formed a complete cloud software development product with a core of credit service, development platform as a tool, software development automation as a process, and testing services as a guarantee. This emergence of industry guarantee standards covering capital custody, advance payment, equity protection, dispute arbitration, etc., makes the first time a non-standardized product platform under the sharing economy has a binding credit system.
Sharing Economy in Software Development - From "Deintermediation" to "Platformization"
With the rise of Uber and Airbnb in the global market, the market has used huge revenues to prove the superiority of the sharing economy model: it has broken the attachment of laborers to business organizations. This superiority is also applicable in the field of software development. In the traditional software development process, due to the existence of outsourcing company organizations, high development costs are exploited at various levels, and the actual developer’s final compensation is very low. If you can use the shared economy, that is, developers provide software development services directly to end users, you can reduce labor costs while improving the income of workers.
However, the disadvantages brought about by this measure are also obvious: Individual service providers are out of business organizations, lack brand credit and constraints, and it is difficult to gain market recognition. To really develop a shared economy, it is not enough to simply go to mediation: platformization is imperative.
For example: Once the driver opened a private car to run a passenger transport, it was actually a taxi company's decommissioning (without a huge amount of money), but the public’s impression of this group has always been: black car, Insecure and chaotic prices; however, after Uber, Didi and other taxi platforms turned out, many of the servicemen's labels became: five-star praise, conscience drivers, good people a safe life and so on. The most important reason for users to “look and greet†is that they have experienced a change in platform, platformization is relatively demediated, and there are obvious advantages in terms of building a credit system, integrating offline resources, reducing costs, and improving configuration efficiency.
Therefore, when developers access a software development service platform such as the code city, the code market can help the individual labor to solve the problems of office space (remote office) and funds (remuneration settlement) at the front end, and help them solve the problem at the back end ( The problem of brand endorsement is that the degree of difficulty between developers and users is greatly reduced. Â
Credit Dilemma in the Shared Economy
However, for software development, a non-standardized product, there are many obstacles to platformization. One of the most prominent ones is credit management.
Because individual individuals act as both parties to the transaction, lacking industry supervision and business ethics constraints, the debilitating impact of lack of credit on this new type of development model is particularly evident. In fact, the shared economy that emphasizes "stranger trading" is, in the final analysis, a "credit economy." In the field of software development, industry barriers make transactions like luck tickets need to be "good luck", and credit is difficult to evaluate and consider.
The reality is indeed embarrassing. In the domestic software outsourcing industry, random quotes, poor code quality, unrecoverable projects, and developer credit cannot be found everywhere. For some unscrupulous behaviors of developers (or demanders), most software development platforms can only do so by refusing secondary access to maintain fairness. However, the losses that have already been caused are basically irreversible. Are both trading parties comfortable trading? How to establish a binding credit system? These are the problems that need to be solved in front of the software development service platform.
Under such circumstances, the code market is trying to establish a brand-new software development credit system with the development treasure as a breakthrough, which is undoubtedly a subversive and challenging traditional industry. “CODING Code City hopes to establish a standardized process,†said CODING CEO Zhang Hailong: “Software development cannot be standardized, but the process can be. When we have a set of quantifiable and controllable execution processes, the risk is actually greatly reduced. "Development treasure" is the check of every process."
Complete cloud software development ecosystem closed loop
Because it involves funds and code security, the development of Bao from the product concept to the design and development of "safety" are the primary objectives, CODING has invested a lot of technical forces in the development of this product,
“The development of Bao uses a lot of new technologies. We have studied a lot of safety products and found some of them have risks and problems. The code market has done a lot of safety optimization on this.†Sun Yucong, CTO of CODING, said, “At present, In this field of technology, CODING is walking in front of the industry."
Zhang Hailong stated that the "Development Po" launched this time is not simply a simple fund-based hosting. As long as you open the CODING market, this page protects you: Starting from the rigorous developer certification audit, AIG underwrites 10 million protection of creative and source code security, multi-angle interactive evaluation system to help demand-side screening of reliable developers, safe and independent development and project management tool Coding.net to help the smooth development of the software, the code market to establish an additional 10 million advance The compensation deposit, the code city project consultant for dispute arbitration, and a series of measures from the release of the reward on the project, to the development and later-stage quality assurance measures and risk warning reminders, made the development treasure a “closed-loop product of cloud software developmentâ€.
“Under the existing circumstances, it is impossible to quantify the personal moral standards of both supply and demand as a constraint on commercial behavior. It is also very ridiculous.†CEO of CODING Zhang Hailong believes that the launch of “Development Po†has the potential to attract attention from the source. From then on, a set of "creditable processes, traceable processes, and guaranteed results" has been established. The code market can not only protect the users from recouping losses that have already occurred in the process, it is hoped that through such a set of processes, the risk can be minimized before the transaction begins.
New Software Crowdsourcing Industry Service Standard
Under the leadership of Zhang Hailong, CODING's cloud software crowdsourcing service platform "code market" has now become a leader in the field of domestic software crowdsourcing, completed the "subversion of reconstruction experience" in the field of software development. Professor Gong Wei from China Europe International Business School once pointed out that the Internet cannot be overwhelmed in every field. He must bring revolutionary subversion. "Not 10% or 50% better than the original experience, but 5 times or 10 times better than the original experience.
It must be admitted that the CODING code market has indeed changed the way software is developed. In the code market, you can clearly and clearly know exactly where each penny is spent and what problems should be solved. A large number of software developers who take orders in the market place have said that the perfect credit service guarantee system has truly released the value of fragmentation time.
The CODING code market has reconstructed the link between the demand side and the developer, completely reconstructed the "software development outsourcing industry" from the three dimensions of the connection method, the connection cost, and the connection itself. "We are developing to a specialized platform." Since there is no standard in the industry, then Zhang Hailong said, "The industry needs education and adaptation. We have confidence in software crowdsourcing and have confidence in the market."
It is reported that since the “code market†was launched in October last year, nearly 500 projects have been completed on the platform with a turnover of 14 million. The average customer unit price is around 25,000. More than 30% of the orders are from friends, and the repetitive rate is high. . The tail rate caused by various reasons is within 5%.
