Year 1955. The first human was about to get the newly invented polio vaccine by Dr. Jonas Salk of the US. No one knew how the human body would behave. Will it develop complications, or will it survive the challenge? The patient was convinced numerous times that she would have a small sample of the polio virus injected directly into her bloodstream. She would not get sick. Instead, immunity would develop in her body against this virus and hence she will not get polio now or in the future.

How it relates to the IT industry? This became a perfect metaphor for a technique that we commonly know today as Chaos Testing. Every software has limits and multiple points of possible failure. By injecting a system with variables that have a likelihood of causing disruption, the vulnerable and weak areas of the system can be exposed by the disaster recovery teams. Necessary step-by-step solutions and protocols can be implemented which will eventually allow the software to become even more resilient and fault tolerant. In his talk “Vaccinate your Software, Build its Immunity”, Vipin will explain how chaos testing is different from regular testing, then he will take us through a well-defined Chaos testing strategy that caters to small in-house systems to large distributed systems. He will explain how to do the Chaos test at Unit levels, Integration levels, and system levels. This will also help teams to convince upper management about „inserting“ chaos in the system and then see „what happens“. The talk will end with a real-life use case so the audience can see „Chaos testing“ in practicality.
