Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods allowing selective bypass of code flows in computer software. According to particular embodiments, a bypass attribute is introduced into code flows (e.g., present for development and/or testing purposes only) that are to be disabled prior to releasing the final operational version of the software. A value for the bypass attribute is determined at single, a central engine. Based upon that bypass attribute value, the code flow is either executed or bypassed. In certain embodiments the bypass attribute is implemented in the form of a substitute variable. In some embodiments the bypass attribute is implemented in the form of a code flow call. The bypass attribute may operate in a sequential manner, such that execution of other downstream code flows is also bypassed. One example is provided in the form of bypassing code flows of an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process.
