SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VALIDATION OF CONFIGURATIONS AND/OR DEPENDENCIES ASSOCIATED WITH SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE COMPONENTS, MICROSERVICES, FUNCTIONS AND THE LIKE

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving instructions to validate a configuration associated with an application under test, the instructions identifying the application under test that exists in a first particular software environment that is selected from among a plurality of software environments; receiving dependency data, the dependency data identifying a dependency application that exists in a second particular software environment that is selected from among the plurality of software environments; performing a first process to determine whether the application under test that exists in the first particular software environment can be instantiated as a first running application, the first process resulting in a first determination; responsive to the first determination being that the application under test that exists in the first particular software environment can be instantiated as the first running application, automatically performing with no user interaction a second process to determine whether the dependency application that exists in the second particular software environment can be instantiated as a second running application, the second process resulting in a second determination; and automatically outputting with no user interaction a report indicating the first determination and the second determination. Other embodiments are disclosed.
