Test the Tests: Using Fault Injection and Chaos Testing Prior Year Content
Can your test automation actually find defects? Are there situations where your software will fail, but your automation will still report “pass”? How can you be certain that your automation does what it’s supposed to do? Jay Kremer asked himself all these questions when taking over as test manager for Zoosk, an international dating site with 27 million monthly customers. In searching for answers to these questions, Jay examined several different approaches and landed on chaos testing, the Netflix-developed approach that involves intentionally breaking the service to simulate failure scenarios. Learn how Jay adapted chaos testing for pre-production environments, identified and fixed faults in his own automation, and demonstrated the success of Zoosk’s automation solution to his management and engineering as a whole. If you want to prove to yourself and your team how reliable your automation is—and you are always looking for ways to respond faster—then this session is for you.
