Resiliency testing of applications and compute infrastructures

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor, executable by the processor, or readable and executable by the processor, to cause the processor to:

• intentionally cause faults to be injected in a compute infrastructure;
• determine whether the injected faults cause application failures;
• assign weights to the injected faults based on severity of the respective application failures;
• compare the weighted faults;
• and
• recommend changes to the compute infrastructure based on the comparison, the changes being configured to prevent the application failures.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
• intentionally cause faults to be injected in a compute infrastructure;
• determine whether the injected faults cause application failures;
• assign weights to the injected faults based on severity of the respective application failures;
• compare the weighted faults;
• and
• recommend changes to the compute infrastructure based on the comparison, the changes being configured to prevent the application failures.
