Abstract

According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with a cloud computing environment having an integration service (e.g., associated with a Software-as-a-Service or a Platform-as-a-Service). The system may include a build automation tool and a build-independent software framework coupled to the build automation tool. The build-independent software framework may access, via an implementation registry, information from the build automation tool that represents a custom adapter for the integration service. The build-independent software framework may then automatically create the custom adapter via a build Application Programming Interface (“API”) and automatically validate the created custom adapter via a validation API. The system can then arrange to deploy a concrete implementation of the custom adapter in the cloud computing environment. According to some embodiments, the software framework is “build-independent” because it does not require that an adapter designer use a particular Integrated Development Environment (“IDE”).
