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