VALIDATING AND PUBLISHING COMPUTING WORKFLOWS FROM REMOTE ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for validating and publishing workflows from remote environments. In some implementations, a workflow that specifies a set of computer operations to be performed is received over the communication network. The workflow is tested by performing one or more of the computer operations of the workflow and recording results of performing the one or more computer operations, and/or performing an analysis of the computer operations of the workflow. It is determined that the workflow satisfies at least one predetermined criterion for publishing workflows for use by other computer systems. In response to determining that the workflow satisfies the at least one predetermined criterion for publishing workflows, the workflow is stored in a repository and published to make the workflow available to one or more other computer systems.
