METHOD AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED TOOL FOR VALIDATING SOFTWARE ARTIFACTS OF 'APPLICATIONS' BEING DESTINED FOR PLATFORM ECOSYSTEMS AND PLATFORM ECOSYSTEM

摘要

In order to validate software artifacts (SWA) of "Applications " (APP) being destined for a platform ecosystem (PES) to ensure in a continuous manner that platform ecosystem threats or vulnerabilities are detectable and in particular the software artifacts do not do anything harmful on the platform ecosystems or are malicious for the platform ecosystem, it is proposed a validating system (CIT, PES, VSE) which can enable a platform ecosystems validation service to learn and adapt to new validation scenarios of the platform ecosystem (PES) in a continuous manner thereby providing a mechanism to incorporate validation requirements by learning about potential threats not yet identified manually or just not yet encountered and being capable of learning about domain specific threats for making it more sustainable and future proof. In order to continuously improve a validation service and thereby protecting the underlying platform ecosystem (PES) the validating system (CIT, PES, VSE) comprises a self- learning ability in the form of a learning module having to be customized to platform ecosystem needs in order to continuously learn and adapt.
