What is chaos engineering?

Dynatrace

Chaos engineering is a method of testing distributed software that deliberately introduces failure and faulty scenarios to verify its resilience in the face of random disruptions. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior. Chaos engineers ask why. The history of chaos engineering.
