Careful! "Serious" testing sometimes leads to serious problems.

I don't remember the details anymore but I heard about a test involving "quick" reboots of some key infrastructure of a data center.

Nobody expected that rebooting too many servers at the same time overwhelmed the peak electric supply, which in turn led to shutdowns.

Bottom line: Better test the testing!
