🎤 Workshop:
“From Chaos to Control: Ensuring System Stability in Uncertain Conditions”
Testing is essential to ensure that your software application performs as expected. No doubt about it. But even if your application runs smoothly in a testing environment, unexpected incidents can occur in production, such as a crashed database or a lost connection to a third-party service.
To ensure your application can handle such incidents and minimize their impact, you need to incorporate chaos testing into your delivery process. In this workshop, we will start with a brief introduction to k6 for backend performance testing and we’ll explore how to implement chaos testing using k6 for two backend services, to help you ensure the resilience of your application.

Meet the speaker
Ioannis Papadakis has been working in the tech industry for more than 13 years in the field of QA engineering. Throughout his career, he has always pursued knowledge around Agile methodologies and Agile techniques in Quality. He is currently working at GWI as Director of QA, driving and shaping the testing strategy in their market research platform. Talking about QA and DevOps has always intrigued him, so he recently formulated a meetup group in the Greek community (Athens SDET Meetup) to share knowledge with Greek professionals through a series of podcasts, onsite events, and workshops. Recognized by software companies like Grafana and LambdaTest, being part of their Ambassador Programs has given him the boost to gain and transfer knowledge within the community. He has always loved to wear different hats based on the occasion, having worked as a Test Automation Architect, QA Manager, and Software Engineer in Test.
