Summary

The Eras Tour by Taylor Swift broke records and highlighted the importance of software testing in ultra-high-volume ticket sales. Performance testing is crucial to handle large bursts of traffic, security testing prevents attacks on vulnerable systems, and chaos testing ensures that systems can withstand unexpected events. A converged approach to these disciplines is necessary to mitigate risks and ensure reliability. Effective collaboration between teams is essential to address the complexities of these issues, requiring strong executive leadership and a deep understanding of the blast radius of failures.
