More About Test Harness and Failure Modes
Explore how test harnesses simulate various remote call failures and network issues to help identify and manage stability problems in distributed systems. Understand failure modes across network layers and learn to stress-test applications against slow, refused, or corrupted responses for improved system robustness.
Remote call susceptible failures
Consider building a test harness that substitutes for the remote end of every web service call. Because the remote call uses the network, the socket connection is susceptible to the following ...
