Abstract
In order to automate some aspects of software development, an application catalogue is provided. The application catalog is associated with an application (e.g., a medical device) and includes a plurality of parameters that each define a desired state of the software application when the software application is deployed). These parameters may include service parameters, application parameters, environmental parameters, feature parameters, API parameters, and infrastructure parameters. Before a software application is deployed to an environment, the states of the parameters with respect to the environment are determined and compared to the states of the parameters of the application catalog. The system then automatically takes the necessary steps to correct the states of any parameters of the environment to match those of application catalog. These steps may include installing services, enabling features, configuring infrastructure or environmental parameters, and allocating processing or storage resources to a virtual machine.
