Testing and deploying targeted versions of application libraries within a software application

A computerized method of testing and deploying targeted versions of application libraries within a software application, the method comprising:

• selecting, by a computing device, a software application comprising one or more application libraries each associated with a current version identifier;
• identifying, by the computing device, a target version of one or more of the application libraries, the target version associated with a different version identifier than the current version identifier, comprising:
• generating one or more target version scenarios for display on a remote computing device, each target version scenario comprising a definition of which target version of an application library to include in the software application build,
• receiving a selection of one of the target version scenarios from the remote computing device, and
• retrieving, from a library database, the target version of the application library for use in the software application build based upon an attribute in the selected target version scenario;
• defining, by the computing device, a software application build for the software application, the software application build incorporating the identified target versions of the application libraries;
• deploying, by the computing device, the software application build to a test computing environment;
• executing, by the computing device, one or more tests of the software application build in the test computing environment;
• capturing, by the computing device, test execution data for one or more target versions of the application libraries in the software application build;
• and
• deploying, by the computing device, the software application build including the target versions of the application libraries to a production computing environment based upon the test execution data.
