Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to an onboarding portal for adding a new IoT software item to a cloud platform. In an example, a web service of the cloud platform may receive a plurality of user inputs associated with an IoT analytic application input via an onboarding user interface. Meanwhile, a workflow engine of the cloud platform may distribute the plurality of user inputs to a plurality of workstations for verifying the plurality of user inputs, receive status notifications indicating whether the user inputs have been successfully verified, and output the status notifications to a user device associated with the IoT analytic application. The web service and the workflow engine provide an end-to-end communication between a user portal and a cloud computing environment making it possible to efficiently test and subsequently add an IoT application to the cloud platform.
