1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
a processor migrating a deployment validation rule from a first deployment tool to a second deployment tool through steps comprising:
decoding a first document output by the first deployment tool, the first document obscuring at least part of the deployment validation rule that is performed during validation of a deployment performed by the first deployment tool, the decoding comprising constructing a deployment parameter used during validation of the deployment performed by the first deployment tool but missing from the first document;
creating a second document using the constructed deployment parameter;
submitting the second document to the second deployment tool to load the deployment validation rule into the second deployment tool; and
parsing the first document to identify a Boolean expression that forms the deployment validation rule,
wherein:
creating the second document comprises representing the Boolean expression in a different format in the second document than in the first document, and
the deployment parameter missing from the deployment validation rule comprises a registry key and a Boolean operation.
