Abstract

Accelerated stress testing reduces the calendar time required to test a system, but this technique can be hard to apply to functions that run on a fixed schedule. This article describes how to accelerate the testing of scheduled functions by triggering them through automated tests, either by periodically advancing the system clock or through a programmatic event interface. With this method, the accelerated stress tests don't distort the system's operational profile.
