Research on Remote Collaborative Engineering Practices for Master of Software Engineering Based on Cloud Computing Environment

This paper describes the development and implementation of a cloud computing-based remote collaborative system for performing practices in basic IT software engineering courses. In cloud computing environment, the features of remote collaborative engineering practices is not only the abundant resources sharing. The development of virtual laboratory provides users virtual software development environment. Anyone can upload code and run it in this virtual environment. More important, students can authorize his team member, such as an expert, to debug their code remotely. A web interface provides these students visual debug process dynamically. Finally, we discuss the experience gained from this project with the hope of being a reference for others in the IT education community.
