Learn about DevBox

At Olares, we provide a development tool called DevBox. It helps developers create applications for Olares.

• Why is DevBox necessary for developers?

  Olares has many cloud-based features that are difficult to simulate in a standalone development environment. Furthermore, the unique sandbox system of Olares requires a real system environment for end-to-end testing. To simplify app simulation for developers and minimize system integration efforts during development, we provide the DevBox. DevBox is a quick, automatic toolset for creating app sandboxes.

• What features does DevBox have?

  • In DevBox, you can build an app and generate a corresponding Olares Application Configuration. This deployment files can be modified, allowing you to port an existing app and deploy it to the Olares. During the modification process, you can continually attempt installation and resolve any issues that arise. Once the app passes your tests, you can download your TAC and submit it to the Olares Market Repository.

  • In addition to porting existing apps, you can also create a native Olares application in DevBox. DevBox provides an online development container where coders can work in a real environment, utilize other system interfaces, database clusters, and more.
