Claim:
A service integration platform system comprising: an interface configured to receive a service request initiated by an Independent Software Vendor (ISV); one or more processors configured to: provide a deployment Universal Resource Identifier (URI) that corresponds to a deployment environment that offers actual services and a test URI that corresponds to a test environment that gives access to test services, wherein the test URI is separate and different from the deployment URI; authenticate the service request; in the event that the service request is authenticated, route the service request to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) providing the service to be further processed, including: determining whether the service request is received on a test URI or a deployment URI; in the event that the service request is received on the test URI, routing the service request to the test environment for testing; in the event that the service request is received on the deployment URI, routing the service request to the deployment environment for further processing; wherein: the deployment environment and the test environment share at least security related authentication data; and the authenticating of the service request comprises: determining whether a parameter of the ISV is legitimate; and in the event that the parameter is legitimate: determining whether a service relating to the service request is present; and in the event that the service is present, forwarding the service request to the ISP.
