1. A computing system comprising: at least one computing device; and at least one data memory in communication with the at least one computing device, the at least one memory having stored therein computer instructions that, upon execution by the computing system, cause the computing system to: maintain computing configurations for a plurality of computing resources; receive a computing setting related to the plurality of computing resources; and in response to receiving the computing setting: select one of the computing resources for testing the computing setting based on a set of constraints; determine an initial test population for testing the computing setting based on metadata indicative of relationships between the computing setting and corresponding weighted performance metrics, wherein a weight for a performance metric is indicative of a relevance of the computing setting to the performance metric, and wherein meeting of the performance metric by the testing verifies that the computing setting provides functionality associated with the computing setting; and configure the selected computing resource in accordance with the initial test population.
