Abstract
Techniques are provided for automatically generating and executing chaos tests for different software applications in a computing environment. A chaos testing data structure can be generated based on an analysis of configuration and/or property files for the software application and/or hosting platform service provider. A pattern and other information from the chaos data structure can be used to determine a topology of the software application and determine defined paths to different identified potential points of failure. One or more components can be selected for the defined paths to the identified potential points of failure. A chaos test template can be selected and automatically populated for each selected component. One or more chaos tests can be executed using the populated chaos test templates to identify one or more vulnerabilities/weaknesses, determine one or more recommendations to improve the vulnerabilities/weaknesses, and/or automatically implement one or more remediations to improve the vulnerabilities/weaknesses.
