Automated content generation in computing environment

A method, comprising:

• managing, with a management module, one or more pipelines operatively coupled to the management module, each of the one or more pipelines respectively corresponding to one or more item lifecycle stages, wherein each pipeline of the one or more pipelines comprises a set of data processing elements configured to execute a set of operations associated with a corresponding one of the one or more item lifecycle stages, and further wherein at least a portion of the set of operations executed in each pipeline comprise one or more content integration operations to integrate at least one of content and code into a shared repository, and one or more content generation operations configured to generate a content fragment to automatically document the corresponding item lifecycle stage, the content fragment generation comprising:
• iteratively receiving the at least one of content and code from the one or more item lifecycle stages, and checking the received at least one of content and code into a corresponding pipeline of the one or more pipelines;
• iteratively validating the at least one of content and code;
• and
• generating the content fragment comprising a representation of the at least one of content and code in a standardize object notation format;
• and
• generating a document from at least a portion of content fragments generated by the one or more pipelines, wherein the document is generated by:
• selecting, with the management module, a document format;
• and
• selecting, with the management module, one or more content fragments from each of the one or more pipelines to populate one or more portions of the document format;
• wherein the document is generated for internal use, the document is verified, updated and re-integrated prior to being published to an information processing system coupled to a processing platform, and wherein the document is generated for external use, the document is verified, updated, re-integrated, validated and approved for external sharing prior to being published for use external to the information processing system;
• and
• wherein the method is performed by the processing platform comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one memory executing program code.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising machine executable instructions, the machine executable instructions, when executed, causing a processing device to perform steps of:

• managing, with a management module, one or more pipelines operatively coupled to the management module, each of the one or more pipelines respectively corresponding to one or more item lifecycle stages, wherein each pipeline of the one or more pipelines comprises a set of data processing elements configured to execute a set of operations associated with a corresponding one of the one or more item lifecycle stages, and further wherein at least a portion of the set of operations executed in each pipeline comprise one or more content integration operations to integrate at least one of content and code into a shared repository, and one or more content generation operations configured to generate a content fragment to automatically document the corresponding item lifecycle stage, the content fragment generation comprising:
• iteratively receiving the at least one of content and code from the one or more item lifecycle stages, and checking the received at least one of content and code into a corresponding pipeline of the one or more pipelines;
• iteratively validating the at least one of content and code;
• and
• generating the content fragment comprising a representation of the at least one of content and code in a standardize object notation format;
• and
• generating a document from at least a portion of content fragments generated by the one or more pipelines, wherein the document is generated by:
• selecting, with the management module, a document format;
• and
• selecting, with the management module, one or more content fragments from each of the one or more pipelines to populate one or more portions of the document format;
• wherein the document is generated for internal use, the document is verified, updated and re-integrated prior to being published to an information processing system, and wherein the document is generated for external use, the document is verified, updated, re-integrated, validated and approved for external sharing prior to being published for use external to the information processing system.
