Is there a way to mock Azure Health for testing purposes?

Question

We are testing an internal app that allows us to trace issues with services we use or develop and one layer is to confirm if there were issues with Azure Health at the given time. My problem is Azure is so reliable I need a way to mock Health issues to validate they are included / captured by our app. (Kudos on the reliability BTW even if it causes problems with the testing)

Hi Jonathan, To simulate Azure Health issues for testing, consider using tools like Azure Service Health's "Test Notification" feature, which allows you to generate test notifications for specific services. Additionally, you can explore Microsoft's Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to intentionally create and simulate resource deployment issues. These methods enable you to validate your app's responsiveness to different scenarios while acknowledging Azure's commendable reliability. Thanks & Regards, Saravanan Ganesan.
