Chaos engineering is the practice of deliberately introducing failures to your system to understand how your system responds to different failures that can manifest to your users. For example, you may want to take down a random API or data service and see the side effect on your users’ applications. If the side effects are impactful and if you have Service Level Agreements (SLA) in place, then this can have a detrimental impact on your organisation.

In its simplest definition, contract testing is used to test that two systems have a shared understanding of expectations. For example, when a web application sends a GET request to a data service, the web application has expectations regarding how the data service should respond. Contract testing captures the interactions between these two systems, which are then stored in a contract that both systems must adhere to.
