- the deliberate injection of faults or failures into your infrastructure in a controlled manner, to test the system's ability to respond during a failure.

Continuous Testing

Continuous Testing (CT)

CT is defined as a software testing process in which the tests are automated and executed in an automated build process to ensure the AUT is tested thoroughly. (remember, Go Automation?)

Benefits

Challenges

Technically skilled testers

Multiple technologies & tools automation

CT cannot be effective if the system is complex

Can slow down the tests if automation scripts are not robust

Prior test data generation & management

Sometimes external dependencies can slow down execution
