Have you tried to see how that's a useful practice or are you just angry at the name? It is indeed a form of testing, specifically failure/latency injection testing in production systems. It allows you to test hypotheses and fallback scenarios, for instance: you might think that a particular dependency (remote call) is optional and should not affect the availability of your service, running a chaos experiment lets you verify that.
- matt4077 9y agoI'm mostly annoyed by the "Manifesto" for overselling a pedestrian idea with rather meaningless literary flourishes.
- creep 9y agoYou can cull every method down to a "pedestrian" idea. We build simple solutions for seemingly complicated problems. I don't know anything about chaos engineering, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but from the little I've read it sounds like a set of tools that expand the fuzzing idea for security and reliability in computing systems. Fuzzing in this case would be the simplest form of testing, but the given list elucidates tools that target a desired outcome more directly, and give one more control over the target. I don't know why you are annoyed by this post.
