LIVE DATA CENTER TEST FRAMEWORK

Systems and methods are described for testing computing resources. In one embodiment, a search space of computing settings is analyzed in accordance with weighted data that maps computing performance parameters with the computing settings. A subset of the computing settings is selected to generate a test population to optimize at least one computing performance parameter. One or more computing devices in a computing environment are configured in accordance with the test population, and the test conditions are iteratively updated based on test results in accordance with the test population and a fitness function.
