Dynamic integration checklist for development platform

A system comprising:

• a checklist database including checklist data stored thereon;
• a checklist engine to perform operations for guiding a user through a cloud application deployment, process using a development platform coupled to the memory,
• the checklist engine including a processor configured to:
• generate a checklist, based on a flow graph of the application deployment process, wherein nodes of the flow graph represent tasks and arrows of the flow graph represent temporal relationships between the nodes;
• receive, from the development platform, application data of an application object data structure that defines the schema and properties of the cloud application, the application object indicating a state of the deployment of the cloud application, the application object including data indicating whether a uniform resource locators (URLs) is designated for accessing the cloud application, whether and which security protocols are defined for the cloud application after deployment, and whether and which permissions are defined for user access of the cloud application, after deployment;
• without human interference with the application data of the application object, changing a state of an item of the checklist of the checklist data to indicate the item has been completed, the checklist indicating tasks to be performed for configuring and securing, before deployment, the cloud application from malicious action after deployment;
• storing data indicating the completed item is completed in the memory;
• and
• causing a view of the checklist, including an indication the completed item is completed, to be provided on a display.

A method for guiding a user through a cloud application deployment process using a development platform, the method performed by a checklist engine, the method comprising:

• generating a checklist based on a flow graph of an application deployment process, wherein nodes of the flow graph represent tasks and arrows of the flow graph represent temporal relationships between the nodes;
• receiving, from the development platform, application data of an application object data structure that defines the schema and properties of the cloud application, the application object indicating a state of the deployment of the cloud application, the application object including data indicating whether a uniform resource locators (URLs) is designated for accessing the cloud application, whether and which security protocols are defined for the cloud application after deployment, and whether and which permissions are defined for user access of the cloud application after deployment,
• without human interference with the application data of the application object, changing a state of a state of an item of the checklist to indicate the item has been completed, the checklist indicating tasks to be performed for configuring and securing, before deployment, the cloud application from malicious actions after deployment;
• storing data indicating the completed item is completed in a checklist data database;
• and
• causing a view of the checklist to be provided on a display.
