Abstract

According to some embodiments, a digital core for a cloud computing environment is associated with an enterprise (e.g., the digital core may comprise enterprise resource planning software optimized for an in-memory database). Moreover, an integration inspector framework may establish a checkpoint between an application system (e.g., a source application system to provide information via the digital core and/or a target application system to receive information via the digital core) and the digital core. The integration inspector framework then automatically validates a communication arrangement associated with the application system and performs a data replication test, in connection with the application system and the digital core, using test data. A result of the data replication test is then evaluated and indicated (e.g., to a user via a user interface).
