Ask HN: Would you test your web app against simulated infrastructure failure?

3 pointsby yaelwritesover 11 years ago
Would you pay for a product that provides a third level of testing after unit and integration?<p>It would allow you to deploy your entire app infrastructure onto a set of lightweight VMs, then let you specify tests (infrastructure failures like packet loss, high latency between nodes; getting pushed into swap; running out of disk; nodes becoming unreachable). Then you could run your application against those tests to ensure it fails gracefully under those conditions.

I&#x27;m not sure how much I&#x27;d pay since most of the web stuff I do is toy anyways. However, I think there&#x27;s a big market for this - just like I think there&#x27;s a big market for this for natively developed apps as well.
