Extension artefacts of an extension of a source application on a source system are obtained. Each of the extension artefacts are parsed into a target format of a target platform based on a type of the corresponding extension artefact. Target applications of the target platform are identified based on an identifier of the source application. Extension simulations are compiled for each of the one or more target applications. Then, a user interface is provided which enables a user to select simulations from among extension simulations. Then the selected simulations are published to the target platform such that the corresponding extensions are implemented in corresponding target applications. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer system, comprising: one or more processors;
