Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to determining and performing sets of validations associated with software deployment requests within continuous integration (CI) systems and/or other deployment environments. In response to a change event or other software deployment request, a validation system may automatically determine and execute a particular set of validation processes, and aggregate and analyze the results of the processes, prior to the integration of the requested code changes. In various examples, the validation system may determine customized sets of validations to perform for a requested software change based on factors such as the metadata of the software components to be changed, the computing environment into which the components are to be deployed, and/or the users initiating the requested code changes.
