Abstract
A computer security system includes a test management system and associated communication architecture that enables creation of customized tests of computer security application features. A server stores a test script in a custom scripting language. The test script includes a set of control statements that may be organized in a decision tree to control facilitation of the test. Clients poll the server to independently obtain and execute the control statements. Execution of the control statements control which clients participate in a test, which feature will be tested in the test, and what telemetry data will be collected from the clients to evaluate the test. The server evaluates the telemetry data to determine an outcome of the test and determines whether to further distribute or roll back the tested feature based on the test outcome. The testing can be utilized to rapidly and robustly deploy features that will enhance computer security.
