Can u give some pointers on the below point u mentioned:
The restart and recovery part of the overall architecture plays very important role in defining the conditions for break testing.

The type of the break testing includes lost connetion to database, network, invalid requests… anything that is unpredictable and breaks the normal path of execution for the system.

The reason for performing the break testing is to confirm to the expected system behaviour in case of any breakage. This is to validate the treatment for atomic transaction and handling of intermediate state of data. The restart and recovery part of the overall architecture plays very important role in defining the conditions for break testing.

The break testing needs to be fecilitated by the infrastructure support groups and development team. They are needed to create the scenario and analyze the results.
