Abstract
Parameter values in source code can be automatically validated using the techniques described herein. For example, a system can receive source code that includes a call to an action. The action can have a parameter that is set to a selected value in the source code. The parameter can be defined in definition data. The system can also receive a file that separate from the source code and includes metadata for the parameter. The system can extract the metadata from the file and modify the definition data to include the metadata. The system can then execute a validation process on the selected value for the parameter. The validation process can involve retrieving the metadata from the modified definition data, evaluating the selected value using the metadata to determine whether the selected value is invalid, and if it is invalid, outputting an error notification indicating that the selected value is invalid.
