In this TestMu session, ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐จ, Developer Evangelist at Elastic, demonstrates how introducing randomness into your test strategy can uncover hidden bugs youโd never think to write by hand. From obscure edge cases to unpredictable failures, randomized testing helps teams discover problems before they hit production.
David shares real-world examples from Elasticsearch and open-source projects, showing how randomness in locales, time zones, cluster sizes, and execution order can surface subtle issues. He also dives into the mechanics of randomized testing frameworks, the role of seeds in reproducibility, and how to balance randomness with consistency in CI pipelines.
Whether youโre a developer or tester, youโll leave with practical insights on how to make โluckโ your ally in testing.
