Application Level Dependency Chaos Testing
Somewhere in your service is a branch that has never executed. Not a rare one, a never one. It handles a dependency being unavailable: it reads from a cache, it returns a stale value, it marks the response degraded so callers know not to trust it too far. It was written carefully. It was reviewed. Whether it works is an open question, because nothing in the test suite makes that dependency fail, and the dependency does not fail on request.
