What is “Stress Testing”?

Key Points:

- To try Stress Testing, you should ask this question about your system: What would it take to break it?
- Stress Testing is a great way to understand how your system works.
- Be creative and let chaos take over, then fix any problems you may find before you take your system to the real world.
Questions for Consideration:

- What could you intentionally break or stress in order to learn how to improve your capabilities?
