Methods, systems, and devices supporting in-memory software package installation and testing are described. Some systems (e.g., a multi-tenant cloud computing platform) may support installation of software packages, where each package may be defined by a set of metadata. If a tenant selects to install a package, the system may test the package for conflicts between the package and the tenant's production environment. The system may automatically detect additional packages linked to the package based on dependencies defined in the metadata and may temporarily install the one or more packages in-memory at one or more servers. The system may pull a subset of data from the tenant's production environment into the in-memory testing environment based on a metadata testing file in order to support running tests defined by the metadata testing file. The system may test the package(s) in-memory at the server(s) for any conflicts using the metadata testing file.
