Resilience Verification Testing
Resilience Verification Testing is a software testing practice that validates whether an application or distributed system can maintain acceptable service levels and recover correctly during failures, disruptions, or degraded operating conditions. It introduces controlled faults such as infrastructure outages, dependency failures, latency spikes, resource exhaustion, or network partitioning to verify fault tolerance, recovery logic, observability, and operational readiness. The goal is to confirm that resilience mechanisms work as designed under realistic production-like conditions.
