Research direction
Review the existing content in the donnamartin/system design primer repository to identify the appropriate location for a new section on testing system architectures. Examine the current table of contents and consult similar resources for common testing topics in system design. Consider outlining subtopics such as unit testing, integration testing, load testing, and chaos engineering, and propose a structure for the section. Then open a discussion in the issue to refine the scope with the community.
