Chaos testing, also known as chaos engineering, is a proactive approach to testing the robustness of software systems by intentionally introducing failures to observe how they respond.
Modern systems rely on interconnected components, making chaos testing essential to ensure the system can handle disruptions and deliver uninterrupted service.
Chaos testing follows a structured approach of creating a hypothesis, injecting failures, monitoring and observing the system's behavior, and resolving any issues.
Benefits of chaos testing include improved reliability, faster incident response, and increased confidence in a system's ability to handle disruptions.
