Computing environment modification based on an impact curve

A method for testing a computing environment, comprising:

• monitoring, via a processor, user interaction with a modified computing environment for a period of time;
• detecting, via the processor, a plurality of groups of users, each group of users corresponding to a different initial time of interaction with the modified computing environment;
• generating, via the processor, a metric for each of the groups of users, the metric corresponding to an action in the modified computing environment initiated by the users in each group;
• generating, via the processor, an impact curve corresponding to the modified computing environment based on aggregated metrics for each of the plurality of groups of users;
• and
• disabling, via the processor, the modification to the computing environment in response to detecting values along the impact curve are below a threshold value.

One or more computer-readable storage devices for testing a computing environment comprising a plurality of instructions that, based at least on execution by a processor, cause the processor to:

• monitor user interaction with a modified computing environment for a period of time;
• detect a plurality of groups of users, each group of users corresponding to a different initial time of interaction with the modified computing environment;
• generate a metric for each of the groups of users, the metric corresponding to an action in the modified computing environment initiated by the users in each group;
• generate an impact curve corresponding to the modified computing environment based on aggregated metrics for each of the plurality of groups of users;
• and
• disable the modification to the computing environment in response to detecting values along the impact curve are below a threshold value.
