Testing shouldn’t feel risky. While it might sound counterintuitive, certain types of testing can actually increase risks to your systems. Load testing, for example, is a great way to see how your systems behave under pressure, but it can also cause those same systems to fail if they aren’t equipped to handle the load. For some types of testing, this is necessary, as is the case with reliability testing and Chaos Engineering.
