Hi, I'm Doug Lardo, a solutions architect at Riot Games. In this article, I'm going to introduce the concept of Fault Injection Testing, and talk about the Riot Games API and how they implemented it. Then I’ll discuss our testing methods, what we found, and soap box a little bit about high availability design along the way.

So, why do Bug Blogs? Well, at Riot, we believe that a fundamental component of the development process is understanding that failures can and do happen. We make mistakes because we’re humans, and humans are far from perfect. And that’s okay! What’s important is to recognize failures for what they are, work to understand why they happened, learn from them, and make needed changes based on those learnings. That’s how we grow and that’s how we get better.

Hi, I’m Guy Kisel, and I work on the League client update’s Test, Build, and Deploy team, here to talk about the project's automated testing.

Hi, I’m Jim ‘Anodoin’ Merrill, and I work on test automation efforts for League of Legends, focused specifically on the in-game experience. I currently serve as the tech captain to the Build Verification System Development (BVS-Dev) team. In large part, our team builds tools for automated testing and helps teams write better tests.
