Measure Your Resilience Posture

See What You’re Relying On

Harness automatically maps out your microservices, APIs, and infrastructure, highlighting dependencies and coverage gaps. This dynamic topology gives QA, Performance Engineers, and SREs immediate visibility into where resilience risks live.

Governed by Design. Secure by Default.

Chaos Engineering should be safe, controlled, and compliant. Harness includes guardrails, access controls, and policy enforcement to ensure resilience testing never puts your business at risk.

Define What’s Allowed And What’s Not

Harness uses OPA and custom policies to enforce rules for chaos experiments.

Streamlined Team Control & Insights

Assigning roles to control chaos experiments and ensure accountability.

Built-In Protections to Prevent Accidents

Using ChaosGuard and Admission Controllers to block unsafe experiments and ensure safety.

Agentless by Default, Secure by Design

Providing agentless resilience testing, simplifying security with no sidecars or persistent agents.

Largest Suite of Resilience Tests

Harness Resilience Testing offers the broadest test coverage for QA teams, performance engineers, and SREs—empowering teams to test everything from APIs and microservices to Kubernetes clusters, cloud infrastructure, and disaster recovery scenarios.

Automated Resilience Testing

Resilience shouldn’t depend on manual effort. Harness integrates seamlessly with your CI/CD pipelines and load testing tools to automatically validate resilience with every build, deploy, or scale event.

Shift from Reactive to Proactive with Built-In Automation

Automated Reliability Testing in Every Pipeline

Harness automatically runs chaos tests before and after deployments to catch issues early and ensure rollback readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can we continuously test system resilience by integrating Resilience Testing into the CI/CD pipeline?

Harness Resilience Testing integrates automated fault injection directly into the CI/CD pipeline, allowing organizations to conduct continuous resilience testing at multiple stages of development. This proactive approach simulates failures, validates system architecture against defined SLOs, and helps teams identify single points of failure, bottlenecks, and areas requiring improved error handling before they affect production.

What are the prerequisites to setup/onboard Harness Resilience Testing?

Basic prerequisites to get started with Harness Resilience Testing include fulfilling specific requirements mapped to categories like infrastructure connectivity, permissions, and environment configuration before executing chaos experiments. You'll need to configure your Harness account and connect your infrastructure to set up your environment. For automated onboarding, you simply select an environment and infrastructure, and Harness handles discovering services, creating experiments, and executing them.

Can all the chaos operations be managed via APIs (agent, experiment life cycles etc.)?

Yes, all chaos operations can be managed using APIs, including agent management and experiment lifecycles. Harness provides comprehensive APIs for experiments, faults, results, and infrastructure management, with complete GraphQL schema documentation available.

Can a new Kubernetes experiment run on old Kubernetes infrastructure?

Yes, existing chaos experiments can execute without changes even on older infrastructure, as the changes are backward-compatible. However, new experiments created after version 1.38.0 will only work on updated infrastructure .

How is licensing counted for services across different environments with Harness Resilience Testing?

Licensing is counted separately for each service in different environments. For example, if chaos experimentation is conducted on a service named "login-service" in both QA and Production environments within the same 30-day cycle, it consumes two chaos service licenses.
