While designing distributed systems are hard enough, testing them is even harder.
Testing Frameworks
Jepsen
Jepsen is a framework for distributed systems verification, with fault injection. It’s become a quintessential addition to any distributed systems reading list, along with the accompanying blog posts that document real-world testing of production systems.Jepsen Framework
