Environments for testing are deployed. A library of different topology groupings is provided. An interface is presented to a user for receiving environment definitions. Elements from the library of different topology groupings are automatically provided to the user for creating a test environment according to the received environment definitions. The platform delivers fully configured instantaneous topology deployments of all flavors for product development and testing efforts. The topology deployment service platform is used to create reliable topologies of varying layers of complexity, varying machine providers, different roles, different product builds, integration with partners and varying product configurations. The ability to launch and create multiple test and development environments trivially in an automated reliable fashion allows complicated customer scenarios and configurations to be deployed.

Deploying environments for testing by providing instantaneous availability of prebuilt environments

The present invention supports the design of a process using a drawing surface that specifies the process with underlying programmatic constructs. In response to a user's command, a construct corresponding to a shape is selected from a palette and inserted onto a design region that shows the specified process. The command is verified to be consistent with semantics of an associated process type. If so, a visual image of the specified process is updated. If not, an indicator is generated in a proximity of a relevant portion of the visual image in order to help the user resolve the inconsistency. The user is able to correct errors before generating computer-executable instructions from a high-level code emission. Computer-executable instructions are also generated from high-level code emission. A process engine is cognizant of the associated high-level lines of code and an infrastructure knowledge base while executing the computer-executable instructions.
