Microservices - Testing Microservices

AThe network is too fast for the script

BThe microservice is designed to never stop

CThe chaos experiment is running on a different system

DThe script lacks proper error handling and logging

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify why script fails silently
Silent failures usually happen when errors are not caught or logged properly.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Microservices can be stopped; network speed does not cause silent failure; running on different system would cause errors, not silent failure.
Final Answer:
The script lacks proper error handling and logging -> Option D
Quick Check:
Silent failure = Missing error handling [OK]

Quick Trick: Check error handling if chaos script fails silently [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming microservice cannot be stopped
Blaming network speed for silent failure
Ignoring script environment mismatch
