Resilience Testing evaluates how well a system can recover from disruptions or failures while maintaining its intended functionality. This type of testing assesses both the robustness and stability of the system under adverse conditions.
Key Elements:
- Failure Simulation: Introduces faults or disruptions to observe system behaviour.
- Recovery Assessment: Measures how quickly and effectively the system can return to normal operation.
- Performance Monitoring: Evaluates system performance during recovery phases.
- Stress Testing: Tests limits by applying extreme conditions to identify potential weaknesses.
Resilience testing is critical for systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial applications or healthcare systems.
