Chaos as an Art: Fault Injection

Talk Description

This session will delve into the art of fault injection and its profound impact on testing and quality assurance. We'll explore the philosophy, methodology, and practical applications of fault injection, emphasising its ability to enhance fault tolerance mechanisms, improve system robustness, and elevate overall performance. Also will kick off with an introduction to fault injection, setting the stage for a comprehensive understanding of this testing technique. We will delve into various fault injection methods, including both deterministic and probabilistic approaches, discussing their merits and suitability for different scenarios. Attendees will gain insights into selecting the most appropriate fault injection technique based on system characteristics and testing objectives.

On the other hand will explore the fault injection tool which is xk6-disruptor, discussing features, capabilities, and integration possibilities with existing testing environments. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on how to leverage these tools to create controlled chaos and simulate realistic failure scenarios.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

QA Lead

I'm a QA Lead at OpenPayd, and I've been rocking the testing area for six awesome years. My main game? Nailing observability and automation like a pro. I'm the automation mentor here. We've weaved automated testing into our processes, making things faster and minimizing the room for the human fallibility factor. It's all about achieving optimal outcomes. Besides, I'm all about building systems that give us the lowdown on how our apps are behaving. It's like having a superpower to spot and fix issues in no time. When I'm not diving into the testing quests, I'm a lifelong learner who loves teaming up with others. Tackling challenges together and sharing knowledge is my kind of fun.
