Technologies for automatically validating the functionality of offers in a cloud service brokerage system include an offer validation computing device configured to identify scenarios of an offer to be validated and generate a series of high-level steps and placeholders for the scenarios of the offer which correspond to an application package associated with a cloud application. The offer validation computing device is further configured to determine one or more low-level steps for each of the placeholders, replace each of the placeholders with a corresponding one or more associated low-level steps, and package the one or more associated low-level steps and the generated high-level steps into a validation tool, which is usable by the cloud service brokerage system to automatically validate the functionality of the scenarios of the offer. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Independent Software Vendors ISVs develop, support, execute, and sell cloud applications. Cloud Service Broker Platforms (CSBs) provide partially-automated delivery of integrated cloud applications from different ISVs. Integration of ISV software requires special integration components such as connector packages and connector backends. Development of such components can be time consuming and expensive. The present disclosure relates to a system and method for allowing connector developers to decrease the cost of developing connector package and connector backends by allowing deployment and configuration of web services automatically and also allows support for scalability and zero-downtime upgrades out of the box, by the use of an automated authoring tool that generates connector packages from archetypes created by the CSB.
