Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a deployment program on an administrative system receives user input to deploy target software to the managed nodes in a recipient group. In response, the deployment program identifies a pilot group to test the target software. The pilot group comprises a subset of the recipient group. Each managed node in the pilot group has a unique combination of N attributes. The deployment program deploys the target software to the pilot group prior to deploying the target software to other managed nodes in the recipient group that are not part of the pilot group.
