Live app testing within an app editor for an information technology and security operations application

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
• causing an app editor interface of an of an information technology (IT) and security operations application to be presented, the app editor interface displaying a set of actions of an app under development by a user, wherein the app includes executable source code and configuration information that enables the IT and security operations application to interact with a specific type of computing resource for investigating or responding to detected security or operational issues, and wherein the computing resource corresponds to a third party computing device, application, or service accessible within a computing environment associated with the user;
• receiving, via use of the app editor interface, a request to add one or more new actions to the set of actions of the app under development;
• receiving, via use of the app editor interface, a request to test an action from the one or more new actions:
• testing the action by the IT and security operations application, the testing comprising transmitting commands to execute the action against the computing resource;
• and
• causing display, within the app editor interface, of console output describing execution of the action against the computing resource.
