Load Testing · Senior · Question 27 of 76
Why combine load with fault injection (e.g. kill a node mid-test)?
- 1To make the load test finish faster on the same hardware
- 2Failures under load reveal cascades that idle tests never show
- 3Because faults can only be injected while the system is idle
Show the answer
Correct answer: Failures under load reveal cascades that idle tests never show
Explanation
Failover moves traffic and triggers retries and cold caches. Without load, a node loss may look harmless; at peak it may cascade.
