Systems and methods for facilitating software validation within a production environment

A method for facilitating software validation within a production environment, comprising:

• obtaining a set of computer-executable instructions configured to cause a production system to perform a set of workflow steps to generate production transaction output for storage on a production transaction data repository;
• obtaining implementation data associated with the set of workflow steps;
• identifying a set of synthetic execution indicators associated with the set of workflow steps, the set of synthetic execution indicators indicating one or more workflow steps of the set of workflow steps that require validation;
• generating a validation test based on the implementation data, the set of synthetic execution indicators, and the set of workflow steps;
• and
• performing the validation test for the set of workflow steps, wherein performing the validation test comprises:
• synthetically executing the one or more workflow steps of the set of workflow steps on the production system using inputs generated from the implementation data;
• recording synthetic execution output generated by synthetically executing the one or more workflow steps in a synthetic execution data repository;
• and
• refraining from recording the synthetic execution output as production transaction output on the production transaction data repository.

One or more hardware storage devices storing executable instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more processors, to configure a production system to facilitate software validation within a production environment by configuring the production system to perform at least the following:

• obtain a set of computer-executable instructions configured to cause the production system to perform a set of workflow steps to generate production transaction output for storage on a production transaction data repository;
• obtain implementation data associated with the set of workflow steps;
• identify a set of synthetic execution indicators associated with the set of workflow steps, the set of synthetic execution indicators indicating one or more workflow steps of the set of workflow steps that require validation;
• generate a validation test based on the implementation data, the set of synthetic execution indicators, and the set of workflow steps;
• and
• perform the validation test for the set of workflow steps, wherein performing the validation test comprises:
• synthetically executing the one or more workflow steps of the set of workflow steps on the production system using inputs generated from the implementation data;
• recording synthetic execution output generated by synthetically executing the one or more workflow steps in a synthetic execution data repository;
• and
• refraining from recording the synthetic execution output as production transaction output on the production transaction data repository.
