Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for testing software applications in a production-like environment that simulates real-world failures of production environments. A production environment has production applications and databases configured to process user requests from users for conducting transactions with a service provider. A testing system provides an intermediate interface that enables a software application operating in the test environment to access at least one of a production application or a production database. The intermediate interface can be configured based on different failure configurations to simulate production component failures in the production environment. Failure injection and randomized failure modes can be employed, including for network-related failures (latency, dropped packets, connections, etc.) that might occur in the production environment.
