Chaos Monkey for QA

Test for resilience. Inject failure into systems using Chaos Engineering principles to verify recovery and stability.

QA usually tests 'happy paths'. Chaos Engineering tests 'unhappy paths'. This course teaches you to inject failure proactively. You will learn to use tools like Chaos Mesh or Gremlin to simulate network latency, pod kills, and packet loss. Verify that your system recovers gracefully (resilience testing). We cover the principles of minimizing blast radius and running Game Days to train teams. Essential for QA engineers in cloud-native environments.
