Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving configuration information which corresponds to hardware and software configurations of a user computing environment. This configuration information is used to create a test computing environment which emulates the hardware and software configurations of the user computing environment. Moreover, a software update is applied to the test computing environment, and the test computing environment is operated with the software update applied thereto. Results which correspond to performance of the test computing environment during the operation are received, and a determination is made as to whether one or more errors were experienced by the test computing environment during the operation. In response to determining that at least one error was experienced by the test computing environment during the operation, implementation of the software update in the user computing environment is postponed.
