Abstract: Systems and methods for creating, sharing, and integrating a vendor application are provided. A method for application development and deployment comprises communicating, by a host platform, a framework package corresponding to an application framework, wherein the framework package comprises a software abstraction for providing generic functionality in developing a vendor application, receiving, by the host platform, an application package corresponding to a vendor application, wherein the application package comprises a plurality of metadata files, control method descriptions, and content files, and integrating the application package to generate an integration of the vendor application based on the application framework.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and integrating a shared component application into a host platform. The systems and methods include creating and integrating a shared component into a host platform, wherein the microservice application of the host platform comprises the shared component and a microservice application, communicating, to a UX development platform, a request corresponding to shared component (SC) application, communicating the SC to a microservice application development platform, as a microservice shared component, generating, by the microservice application development platform, a microservice shared component package based on a shared component, and integrating the microservice shared component package, wherein an application is integrated utilizing the microservice shared component based on the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and integrating a frontend microservice application into a host platform. The systems and methods can include communicating, to a UX development platform, a requirements package corresponding to a microservice frontend application; generating, by the UX development platform, a mockup package based on the requirements package; communicating the mockup package to a microservice frontend development platform, to a microservice frontend application; generating, by the microservice application development platform, a microservice frontend application package based on the mockup package; and integrating the microservice frontend application package, wherein a vendor application is integrated utilization the microservice frontend application based on the requirements package.

Abstract: Technologies for automatically validating the functionality of offers in a cloud service brokerage system include an offer validation computing device configured to identify scenarios of an offer to be validated and generate a series of high-level steps and placeholders for the scenarios of the offer which correspond to an application package associated with a cloud application. The offer validation computing device is further configured to determine one or more low-level steps for each of the placeholders, replace each of the placeholders with a corresponding one or more associated low-level steps, and package the one or more associated low-level steps and the generated high-level steps into a validation tool, which is usable by the cloud service brokerage system to automatically validate the functionality of the scenarios of the offer. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Independent Software Vendors ISVs develop, support, execute, and sell cloud applications. Cloud Service Broker Platforms (CSBs) provide partially-automated delivery of integrated cloud applications from different ISVs. Integration of ISV software requires special integration components such as connector packages and connector backends. Development of such components can be time consuming and expensive. The present disclosure relates to a system and method for allowing connector developers to decrease the cost of developing connector package and connector backends by allowing deployment and configuration of web services automatically and also allows support for scalability and zero-downtime upgrades out of the box, by the use of an automated authoring tool that generates connector packages from archetypes created by the CSB.
