For global financial services companies, reliability must be built-in and validated before and after shipping to production. Resilience testing is crucial for verifying the reliability of your applications under real-world conditions. But ad-hoc testing and exploratory experiments aren't sufficient: you need to run automated, standardized tests at global scale.
In this Gremlin-hosted webinar, Chris Kempster, a Sr. NFT Engineer at Visa Cross-Border Solutions, shares their journey from early Chaos Engineering experiments to fully integrating reliability test suites into their staging environments and build pipelines.
Chris will share the lessons he’s learned and best practices for building an effective testing process—and rolling it out across the organization.
You’ll learn how to:
- Get the buy-in to run initial experiments and prove the benefits of resilience testing
- Integrate resilience testing into development processes and pipelines
- Customize test suites and schedule automation to fit your organization’s goals
Includes a demo of how to build, customize, and schedule reliability test suites.
