πŸ–– When systems stop behaving: controlled chaos in practice

28 Apr 2026

In this moment: Adam Davis
We are thrilled to welcome Adam Davis to the MoTaCon stage this year!

Adam will be presenting a talk where he will move beyond theory to show how bringing "controlled chaos" into a safe environment can fundamentally change how testers and developers solve problems.

What to expect:Β 
  • A live demo where YOU become part of a distributed system.
  • Practical ways to simulate failure (latency, partial responses) without complex tooling.
  • Insights on how to bridge the gap between "happy-path" thinking and real-world instability.

Don’t miss out on learning how to make your systems, and your team’s thinking, more resilient.

Adam will also be presenting a sneak peek into his demo at the MoT Manchester Chapter event on the 5th of May 2026!
