Resilience Review

Evaluate how your application behaves when things go wrong — network failures, API errors, slow connections, missing data, and edge cases. Most apps are built for the happy path; this review systematically tests the unhappy paths that real users encounter.

When to use

• Before launching a user-facing feature
