Fault Injection Validation
Fault Injection Validation is a software testing technique that deliberately introduces failures, errors, or abnormal conditions into a system to verify that applications, infrastructure, and operational processes respond correctly. It is used to test resilience mechanisms such as retries, failover, circuit breakers, monitoring, and recovery procedures under controlled conditions. The goal is to confirm that systems continue operating within acceptable limits during partial or complete component failures.
