After shipping reliable software, I learnt that deterministic simulation testing (DST) is at the forefront.
I first described the idea of deterministic software in 2025-04-22
Today, a person asked me: What is the difference b/w chaos testing and DST?
While I did not know how to respond, I now do…
Chaos testing injects failures into live or staging systems to test resilience in unpredictable, real-world environments, while DST uses a controlled, simulated environment to achieve 100% reproducibility of bugs via seeded, deterministic execution
