With the fast development of information technology, the databases used as the fundamental storage and computing component of information system have to deal with much more complicated scenarios with high frequency and concurrency. Distributed databases are becoming more and more common in data-intensive industries such as banking and telecommunications. The selection of distributed database products requires comprehensively consider the function, performance, security, ease of use and stability of the product. The stability of distributed database is known to be difficult in testing and product selection. The method widely used in database testing is TPC-DS (transaction processing performance council-decision support) benchmark, which is only suitable for functional and performance testing. To deal with this drawback, a distributed database stability testing platform based on chaos engineering methodology is developed. Through the perturbation injection by using the stability testing platform, the performance fluctuation of the database under pressure condition can be observed, and the stability of the database can then be evaluated.
