Infrastructure Testing

Automated validation suites verifying cloud configurations and security rules before merge.

Service Scope Definition: Test whether infrastructure components are configured and operating as expected. Checks can cover connectivity, permissions, deployment, capacity, and recovery behavior.

Common Challenges & Technical Drivers

  • Unexpected outages during seasonal traffic spikes that were never simulated prior to launch.
  • Unverified disaster recovery procedures that fail during real production emergencies.
  • Cascading service failures caused by unhandled third-party timeout and retry storms.
  • Lack of automated regression testing for Infrastructure as Code changes before merge.

What Is Included (In-Scope Deliverables)

  • Distributed load testing simulating realistic multi-step user transaction workflows.
  • Chaos engineering experiments injecting network latency, packet loss, and pod terminations.
  • Automated Terratest suites validating Terraform modules in temporary ephemeral environments.
  • Disaster recovery failover simulation measuring real Recovery Time (RTO) and Recovery Point (RPO).

Scope Boundaries & Transparent Exclusions

  • Compute and bandwidth infrastructure costs consumed during high-volume load tests.
  • Application-level user interface browser automated testing (Selenium/Cypress).
  • Fixing deep architectural defects discovered during testing (scoped into follow-up engineering).
  • Testing against live third-party production payment gateways.

Tangible Engineering Deliverables

  • Version-controlled load testing suites (k6 or Locust) integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Chaos testing experiment definitions (Chaos Mesh or AWS Fault Injection Simulator).
  • Comprehensive Load & Resilience Report with saturation curves, bottlenecks, and recommendations.
  • Automated infrastructure smoke test suites executed after every deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze production access logs to model realistic user arrival distributions, request payload sizes, and read/write ratios rather than firing uniform synthetic requests.
