Faced with unexpected downtime of a third-party API, what is the best testing strategy to evaluate your application's resilience?
- Conduct a thorough unit testing of individual API calls to identify potential failure points.
- Increase application timeouts to accommodate longer API response times.
- Perform chaos testing by simulating API outages and analyze the application's behavior under such conditions.
- Rely on the third-party API provider's status page for real-time updates during outages.
In scenarios of unexpected API downtime, chaos testing allows simulating real-world failures, helping understand system resilience and recovery strategies.
