## AI overview

The article explains how Fault Injection and resilience testing can be incorporated into CI/CD and release automation. It describes three strategies: scheduling tests independently of release cadence, running them after production deployments, and gating release candidates on test results. It also explains why these experiments usually require longer runtimes and controlled concurrency.
