Title: Integration environment generator
Inventor: KIRBY STEPHEN DENIS
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2010-08-17
Granted: 2012-04-05
Abstract: An integration environment generator receives an input file and converts the input file into a markup language file. The input file identifies modules for an application to be deployed, dependencies among the 5 modules, test cases for testing the modules, and scheduling information. The integration environment generator receives rules and validates the markup language file against the rules. The rules specify a unified format for including the dependencies of the modules in the input file. The integration environment generator identifies the modules, the dependencies among the 10 modules, and the scheduling information and the test cases from the validated markup language file. The integration environment generator selects a build script template for the identified dependencies, a scheduling script template for the identified scheduling information and a test case script template for the identified test cases and generates a build script, a 15 scheduling script and a test case script from the templates. 0-m
