Title
INTEGRATION FLOW DESIGN GUIDELINES VALIDATOR
Abstract
A system associated with an enterprise cloud computing environment having an integration service may include an integration flow design guidelines data store that contains a plurality of electronic records, each record comprising an integration flow design guideline identifier and human-readable integration flow design guideline requirements. An integration flow design guideline validator may receive, from an integration developer, an integration flow model for the integration service defined in a standardized graphical notation protocol. The validator may then determine which integration flow design guideline requirements are applicable to the received integration flow model. The system automatically generates compliance results based on whether the received integration flow model complies with each applicable integration flow design guideline requirement using rule concept semantics. In addition, the validator may perform a non-compliance analysis, determine a non-compliance severity indication, generate at least one compliance recommendation, and/or provide an output to the integration developer.
Summary
This invention proposes an automated validator tool for ensuring integration flows meet predefined design guidelines in enterprise cloud systems. By leveraging rule semantics and standardized graphical notation protocols, it streamlines quality assurance in integration workflows.
Key Features
Automated Guideline Matching – Determines applicable design rules based on input models.
Graphical Notation Support – Compatible with BPMN or similar standardized formats.
Compliance Scoring – Provides binary and severity-based compliance outcomes.
Recommendations Engine – Offers suggestions for addressing non-compliant design elements.
Rule Semantics Application – Interprets design rules using semantic logic, reducing manual review.
Potential Applications
Enterprise Integration Platforms – Streamlining SAP or MuleSoft-based integration development.
DevOps Workflows – Integrating compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines.
Training & Onboarding – Assisting new integration developers with guideline adherence.
Design Governance – Enforcing architectural standards across large development teams.
Technical Impact
This validator enhances the reliability, maintainability, and scalability of enterprise system integrations by embedding rule-based checks early in the development cycle. It reduces human error and increases compliance with internal architectural standards.
