Proofdock is happy to announce its latest feature: Scenarios.

The idea

A scenario is a collection of attack and verification steps. Attack steps introduce adverse situations and conditions to your system. With verification steps you observe your system state. Observation lets you track your system response behavior while it’s under attack.

Scenario with a failed and completed status

Simple scenario editor

Designing a scenario is super simple with the scenario editor. With the attack form you can easily select attack steps for your Azure resources and deployed applications. Verification steps let you choose the Azure monitoring rule from your Azure subscription.

Automatization

The pipeline configuration

Once you created scenarios you can run them within your Azure pipeline. Automatization enables you to continuously verify systems. Continuous could mean in a scheduled or event-driven manner, e.g. after every release.

The scenario editor

To run a pipeline, you need to copy the scenario id from your created scenario and pass it onto your pipeline definition.
