An artifact manager generates an abstraction for artifacts and repositories in a deployment platform such that the artifacts may be located uniformly and securely in each deployment environment during the deployment process. The described system includes a release automation platform having a release pipeline which is responsible for deploying build artifacts into multiple deployment environments, testing the build artifacts thoroughly in each environment, and follow organization-specific approval processes to promote the build artifacts to a next deployment environment.

Functional use-case generation may include determining whether a requirements context is available. In response to a determination that the requirements context is available, the requirements context may be determined as a task context and as a rule context for a requirements sentence of a requirements document. The task context and the rule context may be used to select a functional model from a plurality of functional models. A functional use-case that includes an entity that is to perform a task based on a rule may be generated. Further, in response to a determination that the requirements context is not available, a functional model may be selected from the plurality of functional models based on process context, where the functional model includes a process related to the process context, and the functional model that includes the process related to the process context may be used to generate the functional use-case.

A deployment system enables a developer to define a logical, multi-tier application blueprint that can be used to create and manage (e.g., redeploy, upgrade, backup, patch) multiple applications in a cloud infrastructure. The deployment system supports the use of nested policies to manage a deployment plan. Upon determining compliance to the nested policies, the application can be deployed according to an application blueprint, which means any needed VMs are provisioned from the cloud infrastructure, and application components and software services are installed.
