Confused Tester in Chaotic World
summary
Case study of a contact‑center platform that serves 40K+ agents shows chaos testing using VMware APIs to cut inter‑node communication, PowerShell to kill processes, latency injection and load spikes up to 200 calls/sec; hypothesis: no active calls drop and standby site takes over automatically; focus shifts from MTTF to mean time to recover (MTTR) and tests measure failover time (established calls recover in fractions of milliseconds) and reduce outage impact.
