Swarm Agent Chaos Engineering for Autonomous Resiliency Assurance
Keywords:
chaos engineering, swarm intelligence, autonomous agents, resiliency assurance, AI testing, risk quantification, distributed systemsAbstract
Chaos engineering is vital for designing robust systems that can withstand bad conditions, but inventing fault scenarios by hand makes it harder to grow. The objective of this paper is to introduce a system that uses a decentralised group of agentic AI testers like SACE, or Swarm Agent Chaos Engineering which look at the system topologies, create probabilistic failure graphs, and manage fault injections on their own.
