Vaiidate application integrated in a pipeline

Hello everyone,

We are working on a deployment process for scoped applications using Application Repository / AEMC, with ATF and Instance Scan already included as quality checks.

We are now trying to understand how the “Validate Application” action from the Certification Self-Test Tool is expected to be used in this kind of flow.

The tool is installed and the UI Action exists, but the button does not appear on an application installed through Application Repository. We noticed that it can appear after converting the application to Development Mode, but we are unsure whether this is the recommended approach for a target/test instance.

My questions are:

1. Is “Validate Application” expected to be run only on the development/vendor instance?
2. Is it supported on applications installed through Application Repository?
3. Is there a supported way to trigger it automatically in a CI/CD or AEMC pipeline?
4. How do you usually handle Store certification readiness checks?
5. What practical difference do you make between Instance Scan / Scan Application and Certification Self-Test Tool validation?

Thanks in advance.

I have not used that tool yet, seems this is intended for partners before they deploy anything to the store. I would recommend to trigger this tool before deployment, basically on you dev instance. You can add these steps to the pipeline. 

 

BTW: AEMC Pipelines will be replaced by ReleaseOps. Australia is already doing the first changes there.
