We typically understand software testing by the everyday definition of the word: making sure a piece of software performs the way it is supposed to in a production-like environment. For a complex distributed application with several external dependencies there is nothing that can beat a full end-to-end test. Or is there?

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring high-quality software is crucial for organizations to thrive. Service level objectives (SLOs) provide a powerful framework for measuring and maintaining software performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. But the pressure on CIOs to innovate faster comes at a cost.

Even when the staging environment closely mirrors the production environment, achieving a complete replication of all potential scenarios, such as simulating extremely high traffic volumes to assess software performance, remains challenging. This can lead to a lack of insight into how the code will behave when exposed to heavy traffic.
