Presentation: Learning Continuously From Failures

Time: Wednesday 12:00 - 12:30 / Location: Metropolitan 1

Failures do happen all the time, and organizations need to both be prepared for them and learn from them. A sure way to make sure that the lessons learned are constantly applied is to test against them.  And this can be achieved by continuously and intentionally injecting faults into live systems to make sure the safeguards built to protect from such failures work, and to uncover new failure modes that may not have been considered prior.
